I spent some time trying to tie Pitcock, to Lugar. So far nothing.

Thanks for that data, Cats PJs.
In addition, as noted by bitt in her post 1378 -

it appears that Obama and Lugar had their passports confiscated and were held by the FSB (the new iteration of the KGB) when they went to Russia AS SENATORS TOGETHER - they were apparently snooping where they had ought not to have been snooping.
Now observe what happened only a mere 9 years later in 2013:

Legendary Republican Senator Dies
GOP Presidential Staff April 29, 2019 Politics
Former Republican Indiana Sen. Richard Lugar passed away Sunday morning at the age of 87.
LUGAR SERVED SIX TERMS IN THE U.S. SENATE AND WAS PERHAPS BEST KNOWN FOR HIS BIPARTISANSHIP. LUGAR WAS AWARDED THE PRESIDENTIAL MEDAL OF FREEDOM IN 2013 BY PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA, LESS THAN A YEAR AFTER LEAVING OFFICE.
Tributes poured in for Lugar almost immediately after news of his death began to circulate with conservative Republicans and liberal Democrats alike praising the Senate icon....
What good buddies Obama and Lugar were! They must have bonded while they were in FSB hands.
