Sept 28th: trade Gulen for Brunson
Oct 2: Khashoggi, a Gulen supporter, disappears in Turkey.
“President Tayyip Erdogan suggested on Thursday that Turkey could free a detained U.S. pastor if the United States hands over a Muslim cleric living in Pennsylvania whom Ankara blames for a failed military coup last year.
Turkey has been seeking the extradition of Fethullah Gulen, a former ally of Erdogan whose supporters are blamed for trying to overthrow Erdogan’s government in July 2016. Gulen has denied any role in the coup attempt, in which 250 people were killed.”

The most puzzling question: if Turks have audio/video of Khashoggi’s alledged death, why the hell would they ask SA to investigate?
Erdegon wants Gulen from US.
SA may or may not want Khashoggi.
US wanted and got Brunson.
Did Khashoggi have intel For SA &/or Turkey ? Pompeo visit: retrieve intel?
Erdogan creates wild story: bone saws, dismemberment to pit US against SA and/or get intel?
