A stunning update on Friday afternoon from the Associated Press said the Pentagon is investigating possible Russian participationin the Syrian regime’s chemical weapons attack.
These officials also supported the dire suspicion that nearby hospitals were attacked to cover up evidence of the WMD deployment:
The officials say Russia has failed to control the Syrian government’s use of chemical weapons. They say a drone belonging either to Russia or Syria was seen hovering over the site of the chemical weapons attack Tuesday after it happened. The drone returned late in the day as citizens were going to a nearby hospital for treatment. Shortly afterward, officials say the hospital was bombed.
The officials say they believe the hospital attack may have been an effort to cover up evidence of the attack. The officials weren’t authorized to speak publicly on the matter and demanded anonymity. They say they’re still reviewing evidence.
According to CNN, the Pentagon is particularly interested in whether a Russian warplane actually conducted the bombing run on the Khan Sheikhoun hospital where victims were receiving treatment within hours of the attack, “with the aim of destroying evidence.”
There have been conflicting reports about whether any Russian personnel or aircraft, particularly helicopters, were present at the Sharyat airbase.
However, the Fox News report also quotes U.S. officials who said “between 12 and 100 Russian military personnel” were present at the base, complete with their own barracks, which the U.S. “took pains” to avoid blowing up. If the chemical weapons attack on Idlib province was indeed conducted from the base, it would be very difficult for the Russians to argue they were unaware a war crime was in progress under their noses.

Why are these officials talking about an ongoing investigation?
I think this is just more propaganda that Russia is evil, and Russia and Trump are friends.
We have LIVE 24/7 Satellite Video of the Entire Region, just show us the Attack.
Breit Bart is jumping to conclusions.....the Pentegone investigating all parties in Syria over the use of gas is just standard.....trying to frame any until the facts are in is just “political framework for a personal agenda”.
We’ve been through this already.
An investigation is not proof of anything.
MSNBC was pondering whether Putin and Trump conspired the whole thing together so the world won’t think they’re friends, LOL. I say LOL but it is really sad.
Blown to shreds by indiscriminate bombing = acceptable
Killed by chemical weapons = unacceptable
Quite the moral distinction the West makes.
My other shoe is missing..!
CUZ RUSSIA..!
It’s like communicating with the Russkies b4 the election-the seriousness of the charge.
I just find it almost unbelievable the Ruskies would participate in a chemical attack. Way too much negative fallout if it was discovered and for what gain? I’m thinking BS or worse 3rd party disinformation to cause a shitload of trouble.
I know. I just posted it so folks will know what the deep state and media are up to now. MSNBC even suggested Putin and Trump planned it together!
Doubtful.
...These officials also supported the dire suspicion that nearby hospitals were attacked...
You would think this would be Front Page news if it happened.
McCain, Graham, Rubio and Hillary still want that war with Russia.
Breitbart is no longer reliable. Although perhaps their excuse is that they’re just reporting AP lies.
Article states....” the hospital attack ‘may’ have been an effort to cover up evidence of the attack.”.....
The Dr. at the hospital all over the press showing and revealing treating the people....was a terrorist....according to artical in Mail on line.....they often use hospitals to store armament and utilize as their bases of operations.
It’s the optics.
Why would Breitbart quote CNN????
I doubt it too, I’m just reporting it.
