Just theorizing here, I think the killing of the Kashoggi theatrics have been in preparation for this part -

The entire world was complaining about the human rights abuse SA was involved in by killing off a journalist. They are going to show that the Clintons and Obamas have been having wacking political enemies for years.

They trapped the press and the democrats on their high horses, hence the reason Sen. Graham made his speech for the cameras. Did Hillary tweet about Kashoggi?? Checkmate
