It’s like when a customer calls into a call centre.
Only in this case Putin is the customer, and Trump is selling America.

So let’s see now, KGB guy has ‘heart attack” in the back seat of his car, KGB/FSB arrests some other guys as US spies while other Russians do… what? And now FSB sanctions get lifted?

Strategy of tension continues even if the alleged Golden Shower doesn’t make the WH any less “shabby” for POTUS45*. Meanwhile, recordings of phone meeting get turned off and bordello-house reach gets further consigned to the historical ash heap, just after it’s reported that the WH custodial staff has been reminded about listening devices.

There’s a purge of spies underway in Moscow, where two high-ranking Russian security service agents, a cybersecurity expert and a fourth man have been charged with treason for passing along secrets to American intelligence, according to a lawyer defending one of the men. The men were charged “with treason in favor of the United States,” said Ivan Pavlov, the lawyer for one of the defendants. So far, the counterintelligence raid is targeting computer security professionals — men once trusted with Russian government secrets about hacking operations. The crackdown comes shortly after the U.S. intelligence officials in October officially accused Russia of using hackers to try steering the presidential election to Donald Trump. American officials have never stated that Russian government insiders gave them information that led to that accusation…

However, other media reports in Russia, also quoting unnamed sources, claim these men have been arrested for taking part in a hacking ring that targeted Russian officials.
