    How does Magnitsky Act apply in Khashoggi's case? What happens next?

    On Wednesday, ranking members and chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee sent a letter to President Trump triggering the Magnitsky Act and an investigation into whether rights violations occurred relating to Khashoggi's disappearance.

    Upon receipt of the letter, the White House has 120 days to report back to the committee with a decision and determine whether it will impose sanctions on the foreign individual(s) involved in the "gross violation of internationally recognized human rights against an individual exercising freedom of expression".

    Human rights violations would also include "torture or cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment, prolonged detention without charges and trial, causing the disappearance of persons by the abduction and clandestine detention of those persons, and other flagrant denial of the right to life, liberty, or the security of person," the Committee wrote in its letter on Wednesday.

    "Therefore, we request that you make a determination on the imposition of sanctions pursuant to the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act with respect to any foreign person responsible for such a violation related to Mr. Khashoggi," Senators said. "Our expectation is that in making your determination you will consider any relevant information, including with respect to the highest ranking officials in the Government of Saudi Arabia."

    The letter was sent by Senators Bob Menendez (D-NJ) and Bob Corker (R-TN), ranking member and chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC), ranking member and chairman of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs.

    The letter was also signed by Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL), Ben Cardin (D-MD), John Barrasso (R-WY), Chris Murphy (D-CT), Jeff Flake (R-AZ), Tim Kaine (D-VA), Cory Gardner (R-CO), Ed Markey (D-MA), Johnny Isakson (R-GA), Jeff Merkley (D-OR), Todd Young (R-IN), Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), Rob Portman (R-OH), Cory Booker (D-NJ), Ron Johnson (R-WI), Chris Coons (D-Del), Jim Risch (R-Idaho), and Tom Udall (D-NM).

    What will it mean for US-Saudi relations?

    The enactment of the Magnitsky Act has been seen as a major blow for US-Saudi relations by many in Washington.

    Although Trump told reporters on Thursday that he saw no reason to block Saudi Arabia's investments in the US, an impending investigation into Khashoggi's disappearance could potentially lead to economic and political sanctions on individuals in the oil-rich Gulf state.

    James Zogby, founder and president of the Arab American Institute in Washington, DC, said Khashoggi's case has led to "a tremendous shift in public opinion", towards Saudi Arabia, "not only among [Americans] but also in the Senate".

    Whether or not the president implements sanctions, he said, Khashoggi's case would continue to haunt Saudi Arabia.

    "Not putting sanctions on individuals will only poison the well [for] future arms sales and future exemptions to sanctions," he said. "Clearly in the Senate, where Congress can act without the president, there will be repercussions.

    "This is something that has been building. This has got to be a concern for [Saudi Arabia]; having a good relationship with President Trump does not translate to getting a free pass from the Senate."

    I do see the democrat side though. They desperately need to use this for the midterms. In times of national crisis I think we should draw inspiration from our leaders.

    Support Trump as he white washes SA dismemberment of a US journalist. When will all of you zombies
    hijack a plane and bomb the government?
    Can anyone interpret this psychobabble?
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    Clearly Khashoggi sneaked out by a back door, then returned and got into a fight during which he unfortunately fell and dismembered himself.

    As bin Laden used to say, Muslims cannot tell a lie.

Saudius just bought a couple apartments.

    A bone saw is only about 15 inches long.. is this making sense to you?

    Donald Trump jr said Khashoggi was a terrorist sympathizer and a jihadi.

    Who?

    It would appear that our three Kavanaugh slayers have gone off into the sunset never to be heard from again.

    Surprising isn’t it?

    If only I could have predicted it

    Yeah they are really spinning this thing up. Only because they they think they somehow tie Trump to it heading into the midterms

    Things must be bleaker electorally than I thought

    The degenerate Sauds thought that they could murder and dismember a political opponent in Turkey because the bastards do it all the time at home.
    They've come unstuck. Khashoggi was a US resident working for a respected newspaper.
    The entire country is trying to inflate Trump's backbone so that he makes a moral stand. Unfortunately he's a piss-weak blowhard who is actually HIDING behind a cringingly- pathetic concern for .......wait for it.............American jobs. Haw, haw.......haw.

    An extrapolation of this..er....philosophy....would lead to Trump enabling American employers to collaborate with Chinese nuke manufacturers in order to test bombs on California in order to create American jobs elsewhere.

    There are plenty of JPP morons who would agree with Agent Orange on this bonfire of moralities .

    In fact- anybody actually voting for Trump and his insane corporate henchmen in November is aligning themselves with mob rule.
    It ain't personal, Khashoggi- it's just business.
