Today I read a FB post about Nikki Haley and the heightened speculation about her resignation.
(Posted below at *)
Is it possible the GOP leadership fronted the "noise" about her resignation being tied to Kavanaugh to save her for a presidential run?
Meanwhile the true reason she resigned is she knew about the brutal murder of Jamal Khashoggi?
The date of her resignation falls smack in the beginning of the Khashggi timeline?
Lots to read.

Jamal Khashoggi was strapped to a table and dismembered alive by Saudi Arabian henchmen on October 2. His blood curdling screams were broadcast to the outside world on his Apple Watch for the seven minutes it took to kill him.
The next day, on October 3, the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley privately drafted her resignation letter. (Thank you, Paula Cobia). Six days later, on October 9, she submitted it to a stunned public. No plausible explanation was offered for her sudden departure.
It was not until October 11, over a week after the brutal killing, that the world began to even learn what happened to Khashoggi.
It would take almost another full week after that for details of the gruesome ambush to publicly emerge.
What is clear, is that the American government certainly knew of Khashoggis killing before we knew, and most certainly in advance of the murder itself. Yet the past two weeks have seen nothing less than an absurd, obsequious public cover up from the president of the United States himself and top cabinet members for this gruesome ambush by the Saudi Arabian government of somebody Trump was certainly familiar with.

She skates, by being a member of the Con's administration who zipped her lip and hid knowing full well the Saudi's brutally murdered a journalist.
When do we out her, and why do we let her skate?

Will someone, anyone please ask Haley what she knew and when she knew it?

(10,279 posts)"loses them" then we can scream "lock her up" every time she appears on the political stage. She ruined herself when she signed on to Trump's Admin.

(115 posts)yesterday. This is very very fishy. Questionable timing. Hoping for more to come out, and the walls come tumbling down. I know, Im being overly optimistic.

(43,161 posts)There is this gruesome murder, the politics involved, an attack on journalism. Couple that with rising interest rates and a slowing economy, the elections and Trump's reaction to them, OSC looming additional events. Time to hunker down.

(53,410 posts)I dont mean to sound naíve. What Im asking is if she was in on the murder then why bring attention to herself? By resigning she also brings attention to Trump because if hes not part of it then she would have no reason to resign.
Why would he accept her resignation if she was bailing on him?
And why in the world would resigning save her? If Trump is that cozy with murders of this kind and Putins kind wouldnt it serve their self preservation interests better to be on the murderers side?
I think it would serve everyones interests to be on the side of these very high level murderers. You cant just walk away from these people.

(8,275 posts)she can present herself to GOP voters as refreshmenting non Trump?
lunatica
(53,410 posts)If she knows real facts about the murder shes in danger, and she would know it, so getting away from Trumps protection (as an enabler of the the Saudis) would be idiotic.
If she doesnt know then her resignation would make sense as a politically expedient move.
But you and the article are going on the assumption that she knew. If she did then wouldnt she be protecting her life rather than looking to her political chances in 2 or 6 years?

(53,776 posts)in the trump shit show, get some foreign policy chops and not get dirtied up. Nope, it doesn't work that way.
She didn't expect such barbaric killing, so now she's not just dirtied up, she's bloodied up.
Should've never signed on, but she's a repug. She got what she deserved and I'm sure it'll come out that she either knew ahead of time of the killing or right afterway before it became public.

(81,261 posts)Could simply be that its because shes a republi-CON. But for me, thats enough!
And to those who want to remind about how shes such a good guy because she had the hate rag taken down in the main square. Well, what does she want? A medal? Besides, why the hell couldnt she have done that BEFORE NINE INNOCENT CHURCH-GOERS WERE MASSACRED IN THEIR EVENING BIBLE STUDY MEETING!!!!!!!!!
Sorry to shout but thats how Id sound if I were saying this to somebody, DAMMIT!!!!!

(22,656 posts)An actual crime syndicate, that is murderous. So now we know where she draws the line, at murder. Not that that absolves her of guilt in the murder.
Thanks for the post, Ninga.

(814 posts)We know this to be true. I do not believe she resigned because of another person's death. That is simply too human.
