The same applies on the crucial issue of Saddam's biological & chemical weapons (WMD) (which he used against the Kurds) being trucked into Syria in December of 2002, with the assistance of Putin's weather satellites.
The leftist geared mass media continues lying saying there were 'no WMD in Iraq', when the White House could have countered their lies, but then there was the issue of direct Kremlin involvement, thus nothing was stated to avoid a greater issue (the enemy behind the enemy).
...can you point me to an article on the Russia connection?
