1. "motive was robbery"

Sure - why NOT!!

[spanone]

2. yes, putin robbed him of his life

[dalton99a]

6. +1

[mountain grammy]

27. Yes, exacty!

[Squinch]

3. That's what the republicans hope will happen here.

[DFW]

11. I still remember Mel Carnahan and Paul Wellstone

And I wonder if they haven't already gotten their some of those hopes fulfilled.

[lunasun]

16. Me too

[not fooled]

17. RFK, MLK nt

[left-of-center2012]

31. JFK

[mountain grammy]

30. That thought has never left my mind.

I believe Wellstone was on his way to be a better FDR; far too dangerous. Like MLK uniting Civil Rights, Labor and anti war factions. Too dangerous for the status quo.

4. This is what frightens me. Now that Russia has its tentacles so deep within our

government, people are going to start being "suicided" or dying of suspicious means. They want to keep Trump in power because they can control him. My fear is that they will not let anyone stand in their way.

21. Welp, it's already been happening--ten Russians dead by weirdness--many since the 60's--right here.

5. Wonder if Carter Page worries about being "robbed" like this?

Just askin' but Putin is going to have to cover his tracks somehow, and Trump is too inept to do it for him.

"Stay tuned, sports fans!"

[SonofDonald]

12. Page shouldn't take any European holidays

Anytime soon, or ever again, but what do I care?, hint, I don't.

[PatSeg]

23. Carter doesn't have to leave the country

to be in danger. He might be safer in prison.

I wonder how many politicians have been threatened or blackmailed by Putin's thugs.

[SonofDonald]

24. Poison tipped umbrellas and polonium tea

He isn't safe anywhere, especially now that it's come out how deep in doo doo he is but you just know if he went to Europe he wouldn't be coming back with that big weird smile on his face.

Overconfidence kills, so does stupidity, it just strikes me that if any of these bastards end up dead he would be top of the list in a betting pool.

[PatSeg]

28. Oh yes

I see him on the top of the list and it would serve as a message to a lot of other people in Washington, who have undoubtedly been compromised. Many are not playing American politics anymore and are ill equipped to deal Russians.

7. Lots of head injury deaths in the past couple of years.

Reminds me of the death of Mikael Lesin in the DC hotel. Drinking and repeatedly fell in his hotel room injuring all of his limbs, torso and neck before finally dying of head injuries.

8. Robbery my ass

[Volaris]

9. Uh huh.

What that really means is that one of those injuries was shaped like a bullet hole.
It was the weirdest damn thing...must have been the aliens again.
Damn aliens...always with the head - injuring

[Javaman]

10. "motive was robbery" you mean it wasn't "suicide by basball bat"? nt

[sinkingfeeling]

13. Robbery?? Anything you say, Mr. Putin.

[milestogo]

14. He probably shared information with someone and it was discovered.

[Ferrets are Cool]

15. Putin notches up another one.

[not fooled]

18. And this is the man

the pukes now admire and want dump to emulate

WTF?????????

[Ferrets are Cool]

20. Three words. Consider the source. nm

[workinclasszero]

19. Oh sure, robbery...that's it

[Cryptoad]

22. will not be long before Putin ,,,,

turns his thugs loose on Trump's opposition activist !!!!!

[Nitram]

25. That's right. The motive was robbery. Didn't have anything to do with Putin.

What a shame.

[Enoki33]

26. Sure it was robbery. And the Putin system of justice will

will find all the evidence to convict. Just like trump tells the truth.

[left-of-center2012]

29. Was not an activist murdered outside the Kremlin a year or two back?

As I recall,
one or more trucks stopped alongside the victim to block the view,
as someone else committed the murder,
in an organized assassination.

I think the Kremlin said that also was a 'robbery'.

[Leghorn21]

32. RIP, Mr. Sinitsyn

[Adrahil]

33. How long before Democratic leaders start dying? NT
