CNN’s Mudd on Khashoggi Investigation: ‘There’s a Ton of Stuff We Can Dig Up Here’

RUSH EXCERPT: 

MUDD: “I’m trying to look at this from the perspective of the Saudis. I worked there with the Saudis. The Saudi government in 2010, 2011. Let me give a sense of how I would be studying this from the inside. You’ve got the pieces of what he was doing beforehand. For example, on his laptop and on his phone. One of the things we haven’t discussed, I’d like to see those to see if they were compromised by somebody who was watching him and watching his e-mail. Were the Saudis looking at that? I want to see whether we have intelligence from inside the consulate that’s independent of the Turks. The Turks keep talking about audio. I don’t want to see a transcript, and I don’t want to hear him talk about it. I want to see the audio, not only for the content, but to see how they acquired it. A lot of other questions. I’ve talked about the aircraft. We can look at where that aircraft has been before, those two aircraft, who is registered to them. Critical question. I’ll end with this. You’ve got 15 people. We ought to know, we have a big embassy in Saudi Arabia. We ought to know who they work for and whether that chain of command reports directly and how closely to the crown prince. So forget about whether we have access to the tapes and what the crown prince told the president. There’s a ton of stuff we can dig up here, Wolf.”
