ok, brain trust. re the spy story. who remembers rachel's reporting

[mopinko]

at about this time, iirc, about a couple of high ups in russia being killed and abducted?
i remember that one of them, which she said would have been involved in the steal, was sitting in a meeting and masked men came in, threw a bag over his head and dragged him out.
another guy was found dead in his car in a sketchy "suicide".

is that related to this new story? seems like it matches up.

3. Dozens have probably been purged

Trump handed the Kremlin a list of our assets there as soon as he took office. The only ones who probably survived are the ones the CIA and NSA kept hidden from him.

4. Shirley, there are some high up Dems who would have access to this information...

A list of Russian assets and whether or not they have been killed recently.

5. I most certainly do

And it is odd.

6. This is jut from memory, but l think the deaths were linked to the

fact that they were potential witnesses in a case that was , to say the least, embarrassing to Putin and his oligarchs.

[Cracklin Charlie]

7. Its all related.

All. Of. It.

8. IIRC there were questions from the IC about protecting intel assets

right after the closed-door Lavrov-Trump meeting in DC in May 2017 and then people started to disappear and fall out windows.

9. i recall that an isreali spy was extracted as a result of that leak.

the ic is in a vice here.
