Snowden was last seen by eyewitnesses being taken from the flight in a "black limosine"...

And yet the official narrative is that he is in a capsule hotel in the transit area of the Moscow airport, having never crossed over into Russian territory.

And, so far, no one has seen him in said transit area. And no one in the US government is challenging Putin's clams.

Curiouser and curiouser....

6. Cheeze. Maybe I was right. I still think he's in a cell someplace in Russia.

I don't think our government would lift a finger to rescue him from Putin being he is now a man without a country.

7. These may be dumb questions

but is an individual riding in a 'diplomatic' limo subject to diplomatic immunity? Is the limo itself given diplomatic immunity wherever it travels within a sovereign nation - a mobile embassy, so to speak?

12. I don't think so. Julian Assange would already have been transported to Ecuador

if it had been possible to transport him to the airport in a limo with diplomatic immunity. I am of course just making an assumption and could be 100% wrong about this.

8. Yes that was reported the day he landed

but later reports seemed to contradict that. First reports said that he was driven away in an Ecuador car but not long afterwards reports said Equador was looking for him at the airport.
