It is Wednesday my dudes in Turkey.  Erdogan didn't deliver, did he?

Turkish president calls for ‘highest ranked’ of those responsible to face justice

 

The president did not name the powerful Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman, the kingdom’s de facto ruler who, it is alleged, was probably aware of, and possibly even ordered, the silencing of his prominent critic, but observers were in little doubt to whom his repeated mentions of “highest ranked” referred.

 

He otherwise spoke of the “sincerity” of Saudi Arabia’s King Salman in the investigation. The gaps in the speech suggested Erdoğan has more cards to play in the evolving diplomatic crisis.

Think the US government will do anything about it?

Nope. They are both American and Saudi citizens. So when they're in Saudi Arabia, they're beholden to that countries laws.
