LONDON — A high-profile British inquiry into the poisoning of Alexander V. Litvinenko, a former K.G.B. officer turned critic of the Kremlin, concluded in a report released on Thursday that his murder “was probably approved†by President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia and the head of the country’s spy service.
The finding by Robert Owen, a retired High Court judge, in a 328-page report, represented by far the most damning official link between Mr. Litvinenko’s death on Nov. 23, 2006, and the highest levels of the Kremlin.

Damn Puin!
“Probably”? Who’s running this. Roger Goodell?
I’ve always believed it.
Oh, I see this was already reported:

I would not have posted it a 2nd time.
‘Again, he kills journalists that don’t agree with him,’ Scarborough said.
‘Well, I think our country does plenty of killing also, Joe, so, you know,’ Trump said. ‘There’s a lot of stupidity going on in the world right now, Joe. Lot of killing going on, a lot of stupidity, and that’s the way it is.’
But how could the British High Court Judge and the author possibly know that?
Darrell Issel with Trey Gowdy assisting.
He can say that it was a Muslim video.
“Judge Owen did not provide any direct evidence linking Mr. Putin or any other high-level Russian officials to the killing, and he acknowledged that he had based his findings on “strong circumstantial evidence of Russian state responsibility.””
In other words, whoever is pleased by a death, must have caused it. British justice. This is the same kind of British court who wanted a USAF pilot arrested for homicide for a friendly fire accident in desert storm.
There are dozens who could have benefited from his death, the Russian government, mafia, and the oligarch billionaire gangsters who would simply kill him to be able to blame it on Putin and then gain control of 1/6 of the earth surface with his removal.
The British government is even quite capable of it for numerous reasons.
For a judge to say someone “probably” committed a crime means there is no evidence, only supposition. “Perhaps” Putin did, but then again “perhaps” not. Shame on the judge. “Perhaps” the spy was done in by a jealous husband.
Had he been to Ft. Macy Park?
Lol. Wonder if Hillary made it to that funeral as well?
This wasn't a court, it was a Public Inquiry chaired by a judge. Its findings therefore have no legal status, they simply represent the Inquiry's considered opinion of the probabilities.
