Haven't heard anything recently out of the White House. Is there some action toward the Saudi's still being considered?
Reform. Not sure if Kayne is still directing that effort. Jared is in charge of all murdered and dismembered journalists involving Middle East allies. But Jared been a little busy lately. I am sure they will get to this soon. Promises kept and all that.

For your white van?
Might have. I just didn't see any. The window covers were not made of bumperstickers.

......the news would have broken the same, and you would have been initially mortified in the same way. But because Obama was president, the MSM wouldn’t have attacked the president demanding action, and they would have dropped the story. Both the MSM and you would simply assume BO would do everything that he could possibly do, and you would not give it further thought when the Saudi’s remained our allies because you would figure, “ It’s a complicated world”.
In reality, Obama would have done nothing different from Trump, but you’d feel like he did because you adore him.
“Bam!” As Conor would say.
The WaPo would have reacted the same way if one of its columnists were murdered, no matter who was president.
Your persecution complex is showing.
Again, the initial response is likely to have been the same, but the moment Obama said, "I'm doing what I can - give me some slack", they and you would have immediately complied. And when Suadi Arabia remained our ally, you would have said nothing. Ironically, Saudi Arabia paid a much higher political PR price for Trump being in office because it drove a far higher profile response by the media who simply assumes that Trump will do the wrong thing on every issue.
Since you have a career in geopolitics, I think you understand that this incident by itself, as horribly deplorable and immoral as it was, is not going to change the ally status of such a critical Middle Eastern country under any president including Trump (and especially Obama who routinely ignored even his own American citizens being tortured and detained throughout the world in order to not upset the diplomatic apple cart). Or don't you know that?
Saudi Arabia felt comfortable whacking him because they knew the Helsinki Kid wouldn't care.

And.........they were right.

he cares about a foreigner's death which is an internal affair of another country? Your political play is just ridiculous, without one ounce of common sense.
The outrage is over who does the act, not the act. Act done by Obama?...approval of his benevolent genius. Same act done by Trump?...outrage over his evil idiocy.

I doubt the Khashoggi story is finished but as a big news issue, it may have been put on the back burner because - well, the bomber story then the massacre in Pittsburg - What next? Scary isn't it?
It's as though Trump admin invents and moves story after story to change the direction we're all looking.
Young guy, tremendous energy, an internet guru with lots of credibility.
