You're naive.
The intel reportedly captured MBS expressing a desire to catch/abduct Khashoggi due to his opinion pieces advocating for reform in Saudi Arabia and the Arab world.
Since he was not 'wanted' in the sense that he was suspected of a crime in Saudi Arabia and on the run, I'd like to think Khashoggi would have been warned by U.S. LE.
Maybe he was warned and figured he'd be okay in Turkey. Or, maybe the U.S. intel wasn't discovered until Khashoggi's disappearance. Or, equally plausible to me, the intel was discovered real-time but Khashoggi wasn't warned because he was not a U.S. citizen and the U.S. looks the other way a lot in regards to human rights abuses by the Saudis.
