After admitting to notable differences with President Trump during a press conference with Japanese PM Abe, German Chancellor Angela Merkel poured some cold water on the neocon narrative as she appeared to offer an olive branch to Russia - hardly painting Putin as the enemy of all and destroyer of worlds.
Today at 10am, the directors of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and National Security Agency will break their public silence and give keenly await testimony about their investigations into possible links between Russia and President Donald Trump's campaign at a rare open congressional intelligence committee hearing. They will also be grilled on Trump's explosive allegation that he was wiretapped by his predecessor Barack Obama.
Congress has concluded that Donald Trump’s campaign is “not guilty” of colluding with Russia in order to win the 2016 presidential election. A congressional panel found “zero evidence” that Trump worked with Russia, its chairman announced [...]
Ahead of the FBI director's testimony in front of Congress this week, House Intelligence Committee Chairman, Devin Nunes, confirmed that there weren't any links between "The Russians" and The Trump campaign. But that isn't news and many on the right are applauding this 'revelation' as if it somehow vindicates Trump from a crime he never even committed.
More to that end, Nunes is suggesting there was Russian meddling in the elections -- a fact that has never, ever, been confirmed. Moreover, there are no links that can be proven between Wikileaks and Russia.
Since the day of Donald Trump's election, high-ranking Russian officials have been dropping like flies and today's reports that a top official of Russia's space agency has been found dead brings the total to eight.
As we noted previously, six Russian diplomats have died in the last 3 months - all but one died on foreign soil. Some were shot, while other causes of death are unknown. Note that a few deaths have been labeled "heart attacks" or "brief illnesses."
