By Fred Ryan April 1 at 3:56 PM Fred Ryan is publisher and chief executive of The Post. He served as assistant to President Ronald Reagan.
Now, half a year after this heinous act shocked the world, it is worth taking stock of what has been done in response — and what has not.The Saudis have adopted a strategy of evasion. They still have not produced Khashoggi’s body, preventing his family from holding a proper Islamic funeral. The regime has scapegoated expendable officials, seeking to quell international furor by staging a sham trial.
But the Trump administration is a far different story. White House officials have issued critical words and slaps on the wrist, but they’ve stopped short of imposing meaningful penalties. They have stonewalled and obfuscated, brushing aside the CIA’s findings to continue business as usual with the crown prince.
In keeping with his transactional view of foreign policy, Trump seems all too willing to sell out America’s principles. But what has his approach added to the other side of the ledger? He claims that the value of Saudi arms deals, as well as Saudi Arabia’s assistance in meeting our strategic goals in the region, require us to mute our objections to the regime’s offenses. But those purported billions of dollars in weapons sales and advances in Middle East peace have yet to materialize.
Why should he!
If you're not wanting to go to war with Russia you want to start one with the ME. Nobody gave a shit when Daniel Pearl and others were slaughtered. Give us some solutions what would you propose should be done to the Mecca of ISLAM?
And he won’t do anything because he’s gutless and has deals with the Saudis.
Like what...?
Sure he has. If you'd watch the 'news' instead of making it up...you'd have seen it.
Money is the currency that dictates
Food is coming
Huelfox2 Now do Crimea.
Not true! He's been sucking up to Murderer bin Salman constantly!
The whole world has done nothing!!
Daddy, needs that arms deal and oil....
Well, he doesn't want to hurt his condo sales.
This needs to stay front and center what happened here is a travesty and for the leader of the free world to do nothing and say what he said is f ing pitiful.
Opinion: WHAT THE HELL CAN WE DO
roadrunner6149 I can’t stress this enough. Trump has done nothing because he was in on it. He is a POS.
]🤣💀 y.. ,the e t. Time,? (Ok)2 I'll/%‰‰{∆\\\\\\∆\\
Are u kidding that's their bank now!!
CMarPA Were we making the mistake of thinking he was going to do something?
And he never will. The Saudis were one of the players in the 2016 American Election rip-off. He owes them. Not to mention they invest in his Businesses and He has Hotels there.
So what Obama administration many times did nothing
And her won’t , because he can’t , no one respect him when all you focus on is money and hate
And neither has Congress
RickiAdoroIV Has trump done anything except F things up?
Who cares
It's been 10 years since WP told the truth
Doing nothing is one of Trumps big achievements. Don't think that Trump isn't consciously ignoring it. Like all his other misdeeds.
ask Bezos for that
A Muslim brotherhood member gets snuffed out. No one cares.
Why should he?
Who cares
He's dead what do you want reincarnation? He's not obummer
What did you expect from a guy who believes that journalists are “enemies of the people”?
Thats because Saudi arabia is rich, Who cares human Life 😩
While the murder was terrible, what do you propose he does? Everyone wants to complain and no one comes to the table with solutions
Your surprised?😂😂😂
It's strange!!
OH12_Citizen He got money to say nothing.
His bff is gonna help kill 1st amendment, so he can’t be mean to the butcher.
And? Jamal Kashoggi is NOT *our* problem. He was NOT a U.S. Citizen, and was NOT even a U.S. resident He was a jihadist operative working against the Saudi regime and the Saudi regime killed him as an enemy. That has nothing whatsoever to do with us or the White House.
Why don't anybody talk about Saudi butchers anymore?
And? Jamal Kashoggi is NOT *our* problem. He was NOT a U.S. Citizen, NOT a U.S. resident, and NOT even a 'journalist'! He was a jihadist who had written just 3 opinion pieces. He was a jihadist operative working against the Saudi regime and the Saudi regime killed him for it.
Yup that’s your opinion and it does not matter.
Isn’t this something the UN should look into since it doesn’t involve Americans and didn’t take place on American soil. I don’t really give a shit.
Let’s start a war over one person, seems reasonable Wapo. Who cares? Shit happens.
Why should he? This is between turkey and Saudi Arabia
😡
A non US Cit murdered on non US soil by not one involved US entity. And yes National Interests preempt humanitarian ones.
What is it you would like him to do? Invade Saudi Arabia?
And he never will be neither he nor the gop SenateGOP has a moral compass
Not his job, but the job of his employer since he was there on business, if on work related business. I read he feared his native country yet WP sent him there, so it’s falls on WP not Trump.
Yes he has done something. Furthered sales of nuclear materials to hostile nation.
Also it’s amazing how one minute trump is racist and the next minute he loves the Saudis...ladies and gentlemen...leftist logic
Because Obama would have been so proactive...like he was with the bombs he dropped.
It's time for LindseyGrahamSC to talk Magnitsky Act. The bullshit of putting it off, not wanting to speak about it for 6 months is over. You're either a U. S. Senator or your part of Trumps endless, corrupt cabal. I think we're seeing where your loyalty lies?
Just watched 'All the Presidents Men' and my question is: What is the Washington Post doing about it?
but if it was obama that would be ok! WaPo Fake News!
Birds of a feather...
Keep counting!!
He has played golf several times — at our expense — and he has watched hundreds of hours of Fox news praising him. That takes a lot of time and dedication.
It's not true he's done nothing. He's giving the Saudis nuclear technology.
It’s been daily that Americans are killed in the womb by planned parenthood but democrats are doing nothing to stop it. 🤔
Yeah he did,he gave them 'Nuclear Secrets' for cash.
And he will continue to do nothing! It’s all about money 💰 to him he’s pathetic and worthless! 😏 TrumpIsADisgrace
Don’t forget Kushner was trying to sell SA our nuclear technologies! 9/11 was perpetrated by Saudis and funded by Saudi’s. Never forget Khashoggi or 9/11.
That's odd...I never hear the FakeNewsMedia concerning themselves with about all the journalists MURDERED IN MEXICO!
Trump will never ruin a good deal , no matter what happens .moneyisking
This, when you become desperate in efforts to slander and smear the President. Disgraceful and disgusting.
And what do you want him to do?
Is he thinking Money Loans for him or Kushner? When? Before, during or after his Presidency?
It’s NOT TRUMP’S job to do anything about it! WHO KILLED SETH RICH? WHO KILLED OBAMA’S GAY CHOIR DIRECTOR?
It’s been 6 1/2 years since Benghazi!! Why didn’t BarackObama do anything about it? Shut up and stop being biased!!!! Report the news and not your opinions!!!!!!!!!!!
Our dear leader is all about bone saw use on journalists. True story. JusticeforJamal NotMyPresident
Soooooooo?
And he won’t.....too touchy-feely with Saudi Arabia.
He has done exactly what he wanted to do
srmicksims Not true! Has made secret deals to sell them nuclear tech.!
I believe it's a Saudi issue.
He’s probably going to the bank with all the money the saudis have given him to turn a blind eye.
He probably helped plan it. Nothing he does surprises me. And yes, vI do not believe he is above having someone killed if it advances his greed.
Nor will he. Ever
Money
What's he supposed to do? Kashoogi wasn't an American......
Tyrants must stick together and help each other!
He is not a US citizen and his murder occurred in Turkey. It’s not our problem.
who cares about the death of another radical islamist ?
You actually have no idea what Trump does or doesn't do behind the scenes ... Such a toxic group of people ... like working with inmates...probably b/c the field attracts psychopaths
It is enough to see the Washington Post and its owner Bezoff turn into supporters of terrorism and work against America's interests👇👇👇
Untrue. He’s praised the killer
it's 2 minutes till midnight 🕛🎙⚡⌛ on the doomsday clock 🕛 on PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE 🇺🇸🌩
What's he supposed to do about it? Go to war with those barbarians?
Thank God, the Americans know that the Washington Post hates Trump and is hates Saudi Arabia and America's allies The Washington Post turned left and busy with the love of communist Akacio Cortez and Elhanan Omar the terrorist
Yeah, and Seth Rich, whatever happened to the investigation of his death also?
It's insane to think anything will come out of it. Maybe the next administration wouldn't be so lenient.
Lol so what ! What a Journalist , btw how is your law suit going ?
I’m fairly certain he helped him so we can’t really expect him to do anything about it
WORLD POLICE REALLY GET A LIFE
Correct Opinion: It’s been two years since the American people elected Donald Trump president and WaPo’s done nothing but lie about him and bash him during that time. BUT AMERICA LOVES PRESIDENT TRUMP ! ❤️🇺🇸
Grifter 45 must keep up support for all downtrodden Dictators.
Maybe cause we don’t govern foreign countries!
He is giving them nukes!
alice_crites He conspired right along with them.
ALAS!
Trump is a killer. Time for murder charges!! ReleaseTheFullMuellerReport
He’s an old man, he probably ‘forgot’
WaPo wasn't this concerned when terrorists killed an American ambassador inside a consulate in Libya.
Neither has the Country that killed him unless you count the millions his family is now receiving. There’re not complaining and the houses are incredible.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Opinion: Analysis: Perspective:
Not true! There are now plans in place for a Riyadh trump Tower and Jared Kushner is using his top security clearance to follow up on hundreds of business leads. This presidency thing has been a windfall for Trump Inc.
ABC
This is your regular reminder that almost all the 9/11 terrorists were Saudi and that Osama bin Laden was a member of the Saudi Royal Family.
He's having to spend so much time trying to defend the security of our country and deal with the crisis at our border because the democrats won't lift a finger. Be thankful not critical for once.
Wrong trump has ..he sent his daughter & son in law over to pat them on the back & promise nothing will be done.That says it all about his abominable Presidency & the damage in the eyes of the world that he has singlehandedly done. America -the land of the free no longer exists
skrbelly1 He hasn't 'done nothing'!! He sent Jared to help them have nuclear weapons. Why?
Laurie_David Of course he’s done nothing because he only does something when it benefits him and his crime family. He could care less about what happened to Khashoggi. This is him with every situation. BTW have you heard him mention anything about his best friend Kim recently?
Considering that this Saudi citizen was killed in Turkey, perhaps you should venting your frustration at the Turkish president?
Who cares? Has nothing to do with the US
he doesn’t want to step on the prince feet. Very sad he puts him above America
What is he supposed to do? He was a Saudi citizen, not American.
Not true! He’s been trying to give the Saudis nuclear technology as a reward. And other secrets.
You people are pathological.
So happy to see you SRuhle back on the air.
'Yes Mr. President! Why haven't you nuked Saudi already?!! If you're not gonna nuke them, at least carpet-bomb them into submission!!' The 'wet dream' of a WAPO editor!'😏
Pure evil
Don the Con is controlled by dictators! He has yet to condemn any of his friends with the murder of Otto nor Khashoggis. He is complicit in both murders!
millbury01 Did nothing? I thought he tried to give them nuclear tech? NotMyPresident
Jared and Ivanka are in bed with this murderer and rehabbing his reputation, while Daddy looks the other way. America stands for nothing if we continue to let acts like this go unpunished...and worse, make it seem like it's a normal part of doing business for this administration.
Fake news bezos blog still pretends khashoggis was a journalist and not a Qatari asset
Who cares?
Follow the money 💰 from Saudis to the Trump Family!!
Got away with Murder
He’s a treasonous traitor that’s why him an his family,there sinking the United States

A Saudi citizen was murdred in Turkey. What should any President or Prime Minister of any other country do?
Done nothing? I thought i saw where they were workig with SA regarding nuclear capability? Did I miss read this? abominationadministration
... and he’s not going to do anything now. It gets in the way of the deals he’s making for himself
Who cares?
Trump doesn’t care If it doesn’t serve his financial interest. Bottom line!!
Trump lives vicariously through brutal dictators. Of course he’s impotent.
And he won't. He owes them money.
Not-our-problem.
He’s the nothing president.
Wasn’t Khasoggi a Saudi citizen murdered on Turkish soil? What jusristiction does the US have to exercise justice? What is it exactly that you think the president should do?
Why would he? Kashoggi is not our problem.
And the news has moved on. At least the WP is still reminding us.
If the guy was a plumber the fake media would not give a damn.
Right because there been no other issues happening in the meantime, he wasn't even a CITIZEN!
Such a brutal murder! The MURDER ordered by the Clown Prince. The Clown Prince isn’t held ACCOUNTABLE by his own country or by Trump & the United States. Amazing how this gruesome murder disappeared from the headlines!
Why would Trump do something?
Guys, don't let media fake your thoughts,,, if you really wanna know Saudi Arabia,, you can compare crimes with USA you will get shocked...I'm Saudi and living in a real peaceful country, rich enough to put smile on my face,,, god bless Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦🎉😊
MagnitskyActNow
It's Russia's fault
WTF should he do? Perhaps Khashoggi shouldn’t have gotten mixed up w/ Qatar influence operations. Shit happens.
A Saudi guy was killed by Saudis.... Next.
ummm that's not 'Opinion' ...
This may be one of those rare cases where the soundest argument happens to be: President HRC would behave precisely the same as Prez Donsly. She too would do nothing, but her nothing would look different than Trump's nothing. Her nothing would be a nothing of righteous ire.
Wrong! He and Jared are collecting money! Quid pro Quo! compromised VoteBlue2020 VoteDem2020 VoteBlueToSaveAmerica period!
And he won’t.
Oil interest and Saudi money has blindfolded America and president Trump, poor man has no friends
…. and he never will! He knows they're guilty & I wouldn't be surprised if he knew it was going to happen!
And Trump will continue to do nothing. We might as well drop the subject until we have a new president, who will stand up to MBS. Until then, anybody and everybody who cares, already knows the truth.
Not only that, but the only thing he has done in two years is solidify the idea that he is unfit for the office.
On the contrary. Did you not report that his admin had ok'd sharing of nuclear tech with the Saudis? Didn't Pompeo just have a good ol' boy meet and greet w the guy who orchestrated JK's murder? DT has effectively told MBS not to worry, all is well.
Why would he? His son-in-law helped facilitate it.
He doesn’t want to upset his financiers.
Trump is hypocritic cabbage! If it was a country with no interest to USA they would have interviened wth brutal santions
Why does Trump or the USA interfere in a matter inside Saudi Arabia? The Saudi government has stopped those responsible for this crime and are being tried and awaiting judicial verdicts. This is an internal Saudi affair, not a
Maybe that's because he ain't president of Turkey or Saudi
It’s been almost 18 years since Saudis financed the 9/11 attacks and every President and Congress has done nothing. It’s because the $audis own us.
He 'has done nothing', because he is a co-conspirator in the Saudi cover-up.
Whats it got to do with realDonaldTrump ,this is the problem with you war mongering tabloids ,stalking up trouble just to sell a few more papers .this is why the world is in such a mess .buttout
Despite WaPoImbeciles truce overtures to POTUS they disdain with ferocious zeal. WaPo tried in frustra to cajole Trump to blackmail him into irrationally avenging JamalKhashoggi murder WaPo has 1 goal: to power Dems socialism, Trump has multiple goals
Trump doesn’t care about anyone but himself. He has no moral compass. How many times does that need to be said?
save perhaps, thoughts and prayers; that American voter's and the media eventually lose interest and let a horrible murder judiciously wither and die.
He is all about the money but life is only temporary and money won’t matter when you’re dead and gone. The soul lives on for eternity and it depends on you as to where your soul goes; Heaven or Hell is a choice before leaving earth!
It's been 6 months and how many innocent Americans have been murdered by illegal aliens and Democrats have done nothing
They have done nothing
SO Untrue... he has given the Saudi's Nukes!
Actually the grifter in chief has done something. Sold nuclear plans to them. ReleaseTheFullMuellerReportNOW
And he will keep it that way. Saudis must be paying him a good chunk of change.
