the ongoing Saudi cover-up; McChrystal on Trump

new facts revealed in a newly published book:
1.  Istanbul chief of Saudi intelligence + 2 more Saudi intel on diplomatic passports were part of Saudi hit team at Istanbul.
2.  After weeks of shifting official narratives, Saudi Arabia said the journalist was killed by a "rogue operation" and arrested(?) 18 people allegedly connected to his death.  This source states that although toxicologist/bon-saw user Tubaigy was reported to be detained, he is actually living at a villa in Jeddah with his family.
These recordings show that the three murderers say that they will first tell Khashoggi that he will be taken to Riyadh and if he refuses, he will be killed.
3.  The murderers themselves roughly cleaned the consulate.  Then, the consulate personnel did some thorough cleaning in the afternoon the same day.  Lastly, the 'real' and most detailed cleaning takes place after nine days passed from the murder with the arrival of two experts on the issue:  a chemist, Halid Yahya el-Zehrani and a toxicologist, Ahmet Abdülaziz el-Cenubi.  These two people, known in intelligence terms as "wipers," came with an 11-member Saudi group that visited Turkey following the incident with the claim of helping to uncover the murder.  This last cleaning lasted for a week, until Turkish intelligence teams examined the consulate on Oct.17.

10-22-18   Qahtani’s biography on Twitter changed in recent days from royal adviser to chairman of the Saudi Federation for Cybersecurity, Programming and Drones, a role he had held before….A second senior Saudi official said
Qahtani had been detained following his sacking by royal decree, but he continued to tweet afterwards.  The sources with links to the royal court said he was not believed to be under arrest….A Turkish intelligence source relayed that at one point Qahtani told his men to dispose of Khashoggi.  “Bring me the head of the dog”, the Turkish intelligence source says Qahtani instructed....
  Another Saudi official close to the investigation said that Qahtani decided on his own to organize Khashoggi’s kidnapping and that he asked Asiri to get a team together, but that their plans had gone wrong.  https://www.haaretz.com/middle-east-news/turkey/how-the-top-mbs-aide-behind-khashoggi-s-murder-ran-the-killing-via-skype-1.6585080

12-30-18    In an interview on ABC News’s “This Week,” Ret. Gen. McChrystal told host Martha Raddatz that “I don’t think he tells the truth.” The general also responded affirmatively when asked whether he believes Trump is “immoral.”
  McChrystal said that contrary to Trump’s claim, the Islamic State militant group, also known as ISIS, has not been defeated.  “I don’t believe ISIS is defeated.  I think ISIS is as much an idea as it is a number of ISIS fighters. There’s a lot of intelligence that says there are actually more ISIS fighters around the world now than there were a couple of years ago,” he said.  https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/former-us-commander-calls-trump-dishonest-and-immoral/2018/12/30/97fb6e5c-0c41-11e9-8938-5898adc28fa2_story.html?utm_term=.2b5f480939b1
