If you take the words and literally translate them into English like the media has done, it sounds bad. When you listen in Russian it sounds like a staged routine.
I don't know a single Russian who thinks this whole poisoning thing is legitimate.
If it is not a trick it sounds like he was talking to a forensic expert examined the scene. The Russian word ‘washed’ they say the guy did to Navalny’s underwear is a forensic slang for taking sample of biological traces or contaminant from the object.
Also there is no technology to completely destroy whatever contaminant by actual washing.
Another funny thing is how Navalny’s staffer Sobol committed a violent home invasion while stalking the poisoner.
He literally assaulted his mother in law and broken into house, then admitted home invasion on live stream while the cops extracted her from the car.
The next day all the media and Sobol screamed that the charges are fake and no home invasion took place. ‘Arrested for ringing the killer’s bell!’.
Then the cops searched her apartment and seized her phone. The stupid little thing filmed herself while committing the crime, including assaulting an old woman and breaking into flat. It is all over YouTube now.
I take everything this bunch says with a grain of salt at this point. You know they are lying whenever their lips move.
If I’d be a federal prosecutor I’d charge them with treason at this point. The entire circus is to create pretext for new sanctions on NSII.
