As the KGB Putin butt kissing MUTT you are, I wouldn't be surprised.
Mikhail Lesin, co-founder of the Russian government-controlled news outlet "Russia Today" (RT), which the FR Putinistas often link to in their threads, died mysteriously in a Wash DC hotel this past November (2015).
Word is he was about to become an informer, a 'snitch'. Putin's Russia is very much like the Mafia.

Nov 2015...
Vladimir Putin's media Svengali who was found dead in DC hotel was 'murdered for being an FBI informant'
"Nicknamed the 'Bulldozer', Lesin was one of the key props of the Putin presidency, personally masterminding a wide-ranging media crackdown which has left the vast majority of Russian TV stations and newspapers obedient to the Kremlin."

The following article is from last December (2014)
"Mikhail Lesin has stepped down as head of major state-controlled media holding Gazprom-Media, the company said late last week.
Gazprom-Media, whose holdings include independent radio station Ekho Moskvy, said Lesin's resignation was due to family reasons, Russian media reports said Friday.
The holding's board of directors will finalize his resignation at an upcoming meeting, Gazprom-Media was cited by Ekho Moskvy as saying. No replacement has been named.
Earlier, a flurry of reports of Lesin's imminent resignation appeared on Russian news wires, all based on undisclosed sources and giving divergent accounts of the motive.
Forbes Russia cited sources in the media and government as confirming the resignation, with one of the individuals claiming that the decision was made personally by President Vladimir Putin."
I see by your tagline you're an avid Cruz supporter. I am as well, but if this is your standard mode of conduct in discussing things, then I can see why we Cruz supporters are having such a difficult time dealing with Trump supporters.
Frankly, you're argumentative skills suck. You lash out with epithets when you can't think of a logical response.
Further, if you'd even bothered to look beyond some initial post that pissed you off and seen my later posts where I said I didn't disagree with the report findings - only the reliance on the 'judge' thing, you might have thought differently. That's gross incompleteness and indicative of a rush-to-judgment mentality. You should know better. In the end, you can post all the impulsive crap you want - I won't be listening. I've got better things to do to try and help Cruz.
“Probably” and “Likely” are what I see. Sounds political.
Russia's Director of Military Intelligence Dies Unexpectedly
The Wall Street Journal ^ | Jan. 4, 2016 | Paul Sonne

___________________________________________
MOSCOW-The director of Russia's military intelligence agency has died unexpectedly, according to a short statement released Monday on the Kremlin website, which didn't specify the cause of his death.
Col. Gen. Igor Sergun had run the Main Intelligence Directorate of Russia's General Staff, known as the GRU, since late 2011. He was 58 years old.
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, in a statement released to the Interfax news agency, said Col. Gen. Sergun died suddenly on Sunday. Mr. Shoigu's statement offered no additional details.
The military intelligence chief joined the Soviet military in 1973 and became director of the secretive GRU and deputy chief of Russia's general staff in 2011, according to his official biography on the Russian Defense Ministry website. He served in military intelligence since 1984, according to the biography.
Last year, the U.S. and European Union sanctioned Col. Gen. Sergun after Russia annexed Crimea and backed a rebel uprising in east Ukraine.
Western and Ukrainian officials have accused the GRU, one of the most important parts of Russia's foreign intelligence apparatus, of playing a sizable role in the conflict in Ukraine.
Russian President Vladimir Putin praised the military intelligence chief for dedicating his life to the motherland in a message to his friends and relatives that the Kremlin press service released to Russian newswires on Monday.
"His colleagues and subordinates knew him as a real military officer, and experienced and competent commander, a person of great courage and a true patriot," Mr. Putin said. "They respected him for his professionalism, strength of character, honesty and integrity."

He probably won’t be the last one.
Did you know that chronic obsessive compulsive behavior, like repeatedly posting the same anti-Russian rhetoric over and over for years, is actually a sign of declining mental health?
Did you know that I think you pro-Putin, pro-Russia defenders and apologists suck? You did know? Good.
When someone instinctively reacts to defend Putin, it raises a red flag for me. Trump supporters are far more likely to be trusting of Putin. Most if not all of the genuine Putinistas on FR are supporting Trump. Cruz gets it on Putin and Russia. Trump, at best, is dangerously naive on the subject. And at worst in cahoots with Putin and his scheme to bring back the Soviet Union, or something not too different from it. Only this time it will include positions in the militarily strategic, resource-rich Middle East.
Did you know I recently saw a thread that was seven or eight years old in which you were posting the exact same anti-Russian cut-and-paste rhetoric?
That means you’ve been doing the exact same thing here day in and day out for seven or eight YEARS!
Get some professional help buddy...
That is in part because SOBs like you are allowed to remain on this site all of these years pushing your pro-Russian/anti-American BS on young and/or unsuspecting FReepers. The stuff I repeatedly post is critically important events and statements having to do with your buddies in Moscow and their ‘new international order’ agenda. Things that are not commonly mentioned in the news, even on conservative media. And even when they are, there is typically a bunch of vital information left out. Sean Hannity, for example, basically knows or understands nothing about Russia, or the ChiComs for that matter. Rush, also, rarely ever goes there.
This from a defender of the Kleptocracy and Putinista?
That’s funny.
Just another way Kleptocrats try to shut down debate.
So Livenko showed the Russian Govt. may have bombed those apartments which weren’t directly blamed on Putin actually.
This is why, you have to question if ISIS is somewhat aided in the early days by Assad, as Assad has attacked the other rebels more than ISIS, at least as of 2 years ago.
But no, we always hear the mickey mouse explanations.
Unbelievable, it’s taken so long to get a probable. T’would be easier to impeach Soetero or at least melt down his pen and a phone for a prison shiv..polonium tequila mix anyone?
