Here's a list of Putin critics who've ended up dead

[no_hypocrisy]

The Washington DC medical examiner's office has just confirmed that former Russian press minister Mikhail Lesin died of "blunt force trauma to the head."

Lesin, who founded the English-language television network Russia Today (RT) was found dead in a Washington, DC, hotel room in November 2015.

The Daily Beast reports that before his death, Lesin was considering making a deal with the FBI to protect himself from corruption charges.

For years, Lesin had been at the heart of political life in Russia and would have known a lot about the inner workings of the rich and powerful.

This situation could explain why Trump only has fast food secretly imported into the WH -- he's afraid that Putrin could/would "off him" otherwise. He's controlling the food he eats as he doesn't trust Putin and that he knows he's disposable.

2. They left off Magnitsky

Sergei Magnitsky

Sergei Leonidovich Magnitsky (Russian: Серге́й Леони́дович Магни́тский; 8 April 1972 – 16 November 2009) was a Russian tax accountant who specialized in anti-corruption activities. His arrest in 2008 and subsequent death after eleven months in police custody generated international media attention and triggered both official and unofficial inquiries into allegations of fraud, theft, and human rights violations in Russia.[1][2][3]

3. Yeah, that's quite a glaring omission,

especially since the Magnitsky Act was named after him.

4. I've been saying that for a very long time.

If dumpy becomes too much of a risk, Putin will get rid of him. Of course his hands will remain clean ( wink wink).

6. US ruled Lesin's death "accidental."

Somehow the guy managed to injure himself severely in his hotel room.
Like ruling someone shot twice in the heart a "suicide."

8. He accidentally beat himself up pretty good:

After review of the video footage and new evidence developed from the investigation, the Chief Medical Examiner has determined that Mr. Lesin died as a result of blunt force injuries to his head, with contributing causes being blunt force injuries of the neck, torso, upper extremities, and lower extremities, which were induced by falls, with acute ethanol intoxication.

7. If Putin wanted to get to Trump

or "off him", I'm sure he could find a way. Trump and his incompetent gang are no match for the KGB. I'm writing all kinds of scripts in my head right now and Mike Pence is a key figure in one of them!!!

9. Some people know that; others...

Feb. 05, 2017

Bill O'Reilly: "Do you respect Putin?"

Trump: "I do respect him."

Bill O'Reilly: "Do you??? Why?'

Trump: "Well, I respect a lot of people, but that doesn't mean I'm going to get along with them. He's a leader of his country. Uhhh...I say it's better to get along with Russia than not. And if Russia helps us in the fight against ISIS - which is a major fight - and Islamic terrorism all over the world, major fight, that's a good thing."

Bill O'Reilly: "Right..."

Trump: "Major fight. Will I get along with him? I have no idea. It's very possible I won't."

Bill O'Reilly: “He's a killer, though. Putin’s a killer."

Trump: “A lot of killers. We’ve got a lot of killers. What? You think our country’s so innocent?”

Ladies and gentlemen - The President of the United States.

10. And that's just the high profile deaths that are obvious murders.

There are even more that fall into the range of "traffic accidents" and "heart attacks" that still strike one as being rather suspicious.

Take, for example, Anton Nossik, the so-called "Godfather of the Russian internet". After helping to develop Russia's online community, Nossik butted heads with the likes of Konstantin Rykov and other propagandists who wanted to weaponize the internet to turn it into a Russian state propaganda tool.

Nossik was stripped of his creations after speaking out against Kremlin censorship. He spoke out in favor of dissident politician Alexi Navalny and embroiled rock group Pussy Riot. He was actually arrested in 2014 for so-called "extremism". Russian authorities claim it was supposedly for him advocating for a scortched earth policy in Syria (which actually the Russian military was supporting), but it was quite obviously really about his continued criticism of the Putin regime.

In 2017, Nossik--who was only 51 years old and by all outward appearances in good health--was found dead at a friend's country house. The supposed cause of death, depending on the source, was either "heart attack" or "alcohol poisoning."
