My prediction? Nothing. The US gov't has no real interest in "spreading democracy" and Saudi's support of terrorism (financially and ideologically through Wahabi teachings) are ignored because of the check they provide on Iran and keep the oil flowing. Khashoggi was vocal in calling out terrorists, attacking the ideology that being Muslim means violence against non-Muslims and using the Quran to prove that's not Mohammed's teachings, and he ran afoul of the royal family of Saudi. He's not the first, but he's the most high profile and one that looks to have a lot of proof so it's caught the public's eye.
