I'm not an expert on Turkey or Saudi Arabia. But if Kashoggi had long been a spy working for the CIA or related agencies, then it seems obvious that he was still at it when he was killed.
Like the Skripal poisoning, when you have a story that seems to be full of holes, then you usually have a National Security State or some sort of espionage provocation.
The relevant question here seems to be "who benefits"? It looks like enemies of the Turkish Dictator Erdogan and enemies of the current Saudi "crowned prince" both benefit.
Maybe people in our State Dept./CIA want to use this to slightly alter our policy in Syria, Yemen, Saudi Arabia or Turkey. This smacks of a Dick Cheney-type manufactured variety of political issue drummed up out of nowhere (and headed nowhere) from the US point of view.
We have the Iranian oil sanctions and their effect on the Kurds and Iraq. Kashoggi could have been working on some kind of deal trying to influence the Saudis somehow regarding the oil situation and Iran oil sanctions. Kashoggi must have miscalculated or maybe the National Security State just put him out there as bait in a trap or the equivalent.
Another question---he had a supposed body double walking around---do we even know for sure whether Kashoggi is dead or alive? That question just shows how thin the thread of this story really is!!
