Bottom line: the Saudis are overdue for a "times up" moment, as far as I'm concerned.
And, I suspect they'll get it if they indeed ordered and facilitated the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
But, the overdue comeuppance won't be because the U.S. government takes the high road in terms of human rights and justice.
I suspect it will instead be because the global community won't be willing to join the U.S. in looking away again, which will force the U.S. government to acknowledge the reality and respond accordingly (lest face an overdue comeuppance of our own).
