Have you noticed the shift between your first comment where you cite evidence in the form of footage, and audio recordings to your latest comment of worldwide governmental consensus. >Is this a serious comment? The Saudi Arabian government has already admitted to murdering Khashoggi (but denied that MBS had anything to do with it)[0]. There was plenty of reviewed evidence, including CCTV footage, audio recordings, etc, not just "everybody knows". If there were evidence, that shift would never have happened. We wouldn't be talking about worldwide governmental consensus. This is not an isolated demand of rigor. You cited the evidence. I asked if you had examined the evidence you cited. Now we're about worldwide governmental concensus and demand of rigor. >This passive-aggressive nonsense is ridiculous. You seem to clinging to some fiction that the SA has not literally and materially admitted to wrongdoing. One of my points was that news outlets have mentioned evidence in the form of audio recordings and video footage, detail that the body was dismembered, mentioning the tools, quoting phone conversations of alleged operatives, and leading the public to talk about audio recordings and video footage mentioning details of how the body was dismembered with neither the former producing/publishing them, nor the latter having examined them.

There is no shift. Here's BBC article[0] with CCTV screenshots you can look at yourself. You seem to be under the belief that I was going to produce evidence that would satisfy you, which I never claimed to do. I wanted to disprove your assertion: "The only evidence is "everybody knows", or the U.S. intelligence community being "certain" of his fate." This is obviously a silly statement. There is a ton of evidence, some more damning (CCTV screenshots, audio transcripts) than others (claims from Turkish officials that aren't backed up in the reviewed audio). Never did I state that I had access to non-public evidence, just that it was reviewed (by multiple independent agencies, I might add). But it is very much a fact that there is also public evidence that you yourself can review. But I understand you conspiracy-types. What if it's a false flag op? We never saw footage of Khashoggi getting sawed in half. We all know that intelligence agencies are run by the "DEEP STATE," taking orders from a cabal of lizardmen. If your burden of evidence was actually met, obviously the evidence was forged. But this is the dumbest form of conspiracy. "Admission of Guilt" is a form of evidence in US law, and Saudi Arabia has very much admitted to the fact that Khashoggi died while in the consulate, as well as to the premeditated nature of his death.
