(110,900 posts)after TFG got his list of spies. Funny how nobody mentions that. Anybody who didn't realize he was a traitor then is dangerously stupid.
However, the Kremlin knew all these names, already. Nine were oil barons, inside Russia and in other countries. My guess is that they were less than thrilled about the loss of income Putin's war caused them. Or maybe he thought they'd complain if he let them live. Or maybe he just realized they were the only ones who could pay enough to get him whacked, instead. Who knows? The old court intrigues that plagued the Czars were more transparent than the Kremlin.
Usually when dictators are deposed, it's fast and complete. Let it also be soon, very soon.

(23,813 posts)my question is, were they pro- or anti-Putin? I suspect that they were part of a conspiracy....just not sure sure which side they were on.

(2,486 posts)MOSCOW (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin has been informed about media reports that senior Russian security service officers have been arrested, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday.
Peskov said he could not confirm anything about the media reports, which cite unnamed sources as saying two Federal Security Service officers who worked in the cyber security department have been arrested and charged with treason.

The article (quoted in full) is dated 2/1/2017, 10 days after Trump took office. It includes a photo of Trump talking on the phone with Putin on 1/28/2017.
Did Trump help Putin eliminate two CIA assets in Russia who were relaying inside info on Trump and the election to American intelligence?
