there there wipe those tears away with money bills and forget how violently your father got murdered and disposed by us.
Better than being silenced with something else, I guess Not like they know anything about the murder the entire world already doesn't
I don't blame them. It's probably a lead or silver arrangement, where they're taking the money to 1) not cause problems and 2) not cooperate with anybody that would and 3) create the appearance that they're somehow complicitous in Kashoggi's death/the UAE's involvement, thereby tainting any cooperation they might render or problems they might pose in the future. Given the UAE's insanely strong laws against criticizing the head of state or blaspheming, I imagine that if they refused and did try to participate in the global coverage of Kashoggi's death, they'd be snapped up on some obtuse charge and never heard from again. So. It's terrible, but, well. It's a better fate than simply disappearing as well. Especially since they're within the Kingdom, and there would be no meticulous, easily followed trail surrounding their disappearances.
