Secretary of State Mike Pompeo acknowledged Wednesday that there is a “substantial chance” senior Russian officials were behind the poisoning of the Russian opposition figure Alexei Navalny.
“People all around the world see this kind of activity for what it is,” he said. “And when they see the effort to poison a dissident, and they recognize that there is a substantial chance that this actually came from senior Russian officials, I think this is not good for the Russian people. I think it’s not good for Russia.”
The Trump administration has been reluctant to assign blame for the attack against the 44-year-old anti-corruption activist. President Donald Trump called the episode “tragic” but said there was not enough proof to know exactly what happened. Pompeo condemned the poisoning in an Aug. 25 statement but did not directly point a finger at the Russian government.
Translation: Putin did it; but we won't say so, because he has peepee tapes of my boss.
Ya think ya 🍆
Boy the president is going to be pissed at you, you are never to say anything that is negative towards Russia. If you keep that up, Putin might not interfere in the election to get Trumped re-elected.
Ya think?
ingridkirschba3 Pompeo has to be careful of how he characterizes things with Russia. After all, they're paying his mortgage next month. VoteBlueToSaveAmerica
Substantial chance? Is that the same as 'a greater than zero chance'? And, 'senior Russian officials' - is that the same as saying, 'Vladimir Putin ordered the hit'?
Do tell. Please. Go on...
Putin ordered it....nothing happens without Putin’s approval.
Now do the Bonesaw and Trump’s UAE connection.
