[jmc1969]

FBI agents say they are assisting police in suburban Washington who are investigating the shooting of a Russian expert

[Netizen]

The Russians make the Clintons look like pikers.

Ha! Line of the day!

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Putin's hit squads are definitely out and about...

[TASMANIANRED]

Lead poisoning.

[Candor7]

If I had any bets to make , I would say it was a contract hit gone bad, done by the Russian Mafia.

If it was KGB, our good man would be deader than an old blind country road killed skunk.

[WorkingClassFilth]

He may have been. The KGB has used poisoned projectiles before. Nothing like insurance.

[Alter Kaker]

This is surprising, even during the Cold War shooting people on the streets of DC was the stuff of John Lecarre' books.

In the late 70s, Chile's Augusto Pinochet blew up a Chilean dissident (Orlando Letellier) with a car bomb on Sheridan Circle, no more than a mile from the White House. Bush league stuff.

Re Orlando Letelier. He was a KGB/DGI (Cuban secret police) paid agent. The contents of his briefcase detailed his connections on the Hill and with communist groups in the U.S., including the red-funded Institute for Policy Studies. (See Steven Powell's "Cover Cadre" masterpiece on IPS and its staff/operations, including working with KGB agents and fronts).

I would not have wanted him killed, only exposed but the Washington Post covered up his real identity and has refused to investigate what was found in his briefcase.

Iranian American Black Muslim agents killed Iranian dissident Ali Tabatabai in Silver Spring (the killer is a major movie star in Iran). An Israeli military attache' named Allon was assassinated in or near Silver Spring.

The KGB killed Soviet defector Walter Krivitsky right here in DC in the 1940's, and a number of other people have been assassinated in the US by various leftist/Arab groups over the years. You just don't see their stories in the papers.

Several law enforcement officers and volunteer informants have been stabbed, shot at, or firebombed by American communists since the 1960's, not to mention the assassinations carried out by the Black Panthers and their successors, the Black Liberation Army, etc.

Welcome to the real world!

True, but that wasn't a KGB/SVD thing, i notice that the Brit reporter got dead, and the American "expert" was merely "sent a message".

"Street Crime"? So that is why they will not release his condition or give any details about what may have been taken from him during the Street Crime in quite suburban Maryland?

And the cow ran away with the spoon, I gave up on fairy tales along time ago....

This sort of thing isn't the best way to persuade people that Putin didn't order Litvinenko's poisoning.

[Dick Vomer]

dead men tell no tales

[grey_whiskers]

I'll see you and raise you one.

Cheers!

Are these guys taking lessons from the Clinton Crime Syndicate?

[daybreakcoming]

I deleted part of my previous post - got too wordy - but I would not be surprised if the KGB and Russian Mafia are not intertwined. By that I don't think we can discount the tentacles of the Mafia within the KGB. I even wonder if Putin is nothing much more than a figurehead these days. Although the attempted assassination is intended to frighten into silence certain people - has the KGB ever been so brazen to publicly assassinate an American on US soil before?

Just an uneducated opinion.

That quote was definitely not a high point for George IMHO.

The Russian mobsters are fast becoming as effective as Bill Clinton.
