"SNIP.........

A lawyer representing the family of the deceased Russian whistle-blower Sergei Magnitsky has been hospitalized in Moscow with serious injuries after falling several stories.

The incident on March 21 happened one day before he was to appear in court in connection with the Magnitsky case.

Magnitsky's former employer, U.S.-born British investor Bill Browder, said in a statement on March 21 that lawyer Nikolai Gorokhov was "thrown from the fourth floor of his apartment building."

Russian news reports suggested his fall may have been an accident.

1. This reminder is even more needed on DI or Freep,

but not worth bothering to try to enlighten. Those places have become true moral and intellectual sinks.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

11. Last article at the FReaks with Magnitsky keyword is March. They aren't paying attention, of course.

It was about sanctions, not "accidents".

[Hortensis]

20. Of course.

2. Donny had better be looking over his shoulder.........

In the event Putin calls in his marque and wants to settle should Donny renege on any deals he made with the Devil (Putin).

3. Traitor Don is too stupid to realize Putin is not his BFF

4. What is the excuse for the Republicans in Congress?

9. Kompromat

aka self-interest over country.

[paleotn]

10. Tax cuts...

regulation roll backs, SCOTUS nominations. They offered their first born children, but nobody wanted them.

13. Polonium & dioxin are why Трамп eats anonymous orders of fast food an aide picks up. . . nt

5. Interesting timing.

I am watching Bill Browser on MSNBC right now. He is worried about being killed by Putin like those in England, etc. He is worried that Putin will use anything and do anything to "get rid of" him.

8. The incident happened March 21, it seems.

Dunno why it was written to sound more recent, I had to re-read.

6. "A lot of accidents can happen around here. Just sayin"

[Tom Rinaldo]

7. "The incident on March 21 happened one day before he was to appear in court in connection"

Literally the day before he was supposed to testify, I mean what are the odds on that?

Pretty damn high in Russia.

[Midnight Writer]

12. This is terrible. Maybe we should send Browder and McFaul to Moscow to give info to authorities.

I am sure that Putin could then put this business to rest.

14. I read from Garry Kasparov and Wikipedia that Magnitsky died in prison in 2009. Are they wrong?

17. This is an old story from March 2017 and this lawyer was representing the family

of Magnitsky. He had a wife and a son.

[ancianita]

21. Ah, thanks.

15. Trump's buddy strikes again.

[LiberalArkie]

16. Russia just doesn't have modern safety standards in their buildings.

People fall from Russian buildings all the time. Get hit in cross walks, walk in front of bullets. Just no safety standards.

18. His "fall" was no accident.

Lawyer Probing Russian Corruption Says His Balcony Fall Was 'No Accident'

The lawyer says he remembers nothing about the incident, which left him with a fractured skull and sent him to intensive care, but now fears he may have been the latest target in a chain of killings surrounding the fraud probe.

19. Whole lotta defenestration in Russia these days.

Exotic poisons can be very expensive. Gravity is cheap.

[Enoki33]

22. So the Russian news said it may have been an accident. Much like

Fox News saying tRump is not a liar.

[sweetroxie]

23. Those Russians sure have a case of bad balance.
