These nine Russians have either been murdered, died suddenly or vanished into the depths of the Lubyanka prison in the last two months
1: Vitaly Churkin, Russias Ambassador to the UN. officially of a heart attack. Feb 20, 2017.
2: Sergei Krivov, employee of Russian consulate in NY. Officially of heart attack despite his skull having been bashed in. May have fallen from consulate roof. Feb. 15, 2017
3, 4, 5: Kaspersky employee Ruslan Stoyanov and FSB officers who specialised in cyber security, Sergei Mikhailov and Dmitry Dokuchayev. Sergei Mikhailov were charged with treason. Mikhailov was dragged out of a meeting with a bag over his head, and is now now almost certainly dead. Odds are the other two gentlemen followed close behind. Jan 23, 2017
6: Andrey Melanin, Russian Consul in Greece was found dead in his Athens apartment. Jan 9, 2017
7: Oleg Erovinkin, a former KGB General who had helped Chris Steele assemble the infamous dossier. Found dead in the trunk of his car in Moscow. Dec. 26, 2016
8. Andrey Karlov, Russian Ambassador to Turkey, murdered on live television. Dec. 20 2016
9. Petr Polshikov Russian diplomat, was found shot to death in Moscow. Dec. 20, 2016 (just after Karlov's murder).
I have read in several places that they are all connected to the Steele dossier, but I have been unable to confirm that for myself. Nonetheless, this is a lot of sudden exits.
Dead men tell no tales.

(19,060 posts)What likely has happened is that these men were working with the US and Trumo gave their names to Putin as soon as he took office.

(21,088 posts)He probably found out about them as he was coming up to speed in his role as National Security Adviser, and promptly outed them. The others? I don't know.

Seems all the Russians who have knowledge of trump's, shall we sayproclivities, and of the trump campaign's dealings with the Russians are turning up dead.
And Chaffetz and McConnell just want to turn their back on all these dead elephants in the room by not investigating.
What cowards.
And who know if Comey is actually investigating, he could be protecting his own neck? It's been alleged there are Russian moles in the NYC FBI office that forced him to swing the election to trump with the Oct. 28 letter to Chaffetz whoa, there's another connection right there.
They could be both in on it.

(19,060 posts)These were likely Russians who the US was getting info from to help our side. Flynn and Trump start getting intelligence about US assets in Russia and drop a line to Putin to let them know they have moles who are working for the US to further our interests. Putin kills them.
Russia has moles in our government too, but Trump and Flynn are among them so they'll protect them so they can continue to provide Putin with intelligence against us.

(31 posts)If that were true, the IC would have leaked that information and arrested Trump for treason. No way that is true.

(3,847 posts)the members of the Intelligence are copying all peices of intelligence that is still rolling in and making sure there are no paper shredding incidents. I hope the lifers are gathering their dossiers on this traitorous group of lunatics.
How many Americans will start dying when they come into contact with any intell on the Russian overlords in our governemnt.

(28,789 posts)it could happen here with these trump people. chilling to consider, but not beyond the realm of possibility. especially since trump is such an admirer of leaders like putin, and hitler. he seems to respect murder as a political tactic.
GliderGuider
(21,088 posts)This may not be a reputable site, but the description of organ damage is consistent with a poisoning. We need to wait for confirmation.

LisaL
(44,973 posts)Which to me suggests that poisoning is a possibility, since they are going to do toxicology.
"Further study usually includes toxicology and other screenings, which can take weeks. The case was referred to the medical examiners office by the hospital, spokeswoman Julie Bolcer said."

(21,088 posts)Andrew Breitbart's untimely death in 2012, that allowed Bannon to take control of the Breitbart news organ, bears a strong if superficial resemblance to Churkin's death.
Hmmmmm...
