Certainly not like this: "Trump gives Saudi benefit of doubt in Khashoggi case" "US President Donald Trump has cautioned against rushing to blame Saudi Arabia over the disappearance of Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi." https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-45883174

And then we have this report from the Middle East Eye
Jamal Khashoggi's killing took seven minutes, Turkish source tells MEE

Middle East Eye publishes first details of audio tape acquired by Turkish investigators probing what happened to Saudi journalist
It took seven minutes for Jamal Khashoggi to die, a Turkish source who has listened in full to an audio recording of the Saudi journalist's last moments told Middle East Eye.



Khashoggi was dragged from the Consul General’s office at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul and onto the table of his study next door, the Turkish source said.

Horrendous screams were then heard by a witness downstairs, the source said.

"The consul himself was taken out of the room. There was no attempt to interrogate him. They had come to kill him,” the source told MEE.

The screaming stopped when Khashoggi - who was last seen entering the Saudi consulate on 2 October - was injected with an as yet unknown substance.

Salah Muhammad al-Tubaigy, who has been identified as the head of forensic evidence in the Saudi general security department, was one of the 15-member squad who arrived in Ankara earlier that day on a private jet.

Tubaigy began to cut Khashoggi’s body up on a table in the study while he was still alive, the Turkish source said.

The killing took seven minutes, the source said.https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/excl ... -829291552

Thus, I believe the ENTIRE point was to send a signal to others that they WILL get you wherever you are....and you will die, badly. That kind of signal indicates to me that whatever they are up to, it isn't over with Khashoggi. Likely more in house clean up by MbS. He had to know this would be a huge mess, but whatever is going on, this mess is less than whatever is going on over there in the balance of things. Yikes.
