Scrutable

This story about Navalny getting his attempted assassin to confess over the phone is something. And followed up with a CNN reporter doorstepping another one of the assassins.

CNN wrote:the FSB toxins team of about six to 10 agents trailed Navalny for more than three years.

I wonder if they were trying to find some way of poisoning just Navalny instead of a whole load of people, and at last they thought of his undies, being unlikely to get handled by other innocent people.

The Russians don't seem to care about *plausible* deniability. But they do have useful idiots claiming it's all a false flag.

The Russian Government hasn't cared about plausibility of their lies for some time. See also the Salisbury cathedral tourists or the "aid convoy" to Eastern Ukraine.

It certainly says something about how closely the assassination secrets are held that one of the assassins agreed to talk about it on an unsecured line. That seems like *such* a no-brainer.

Also, how ice-cold is Navalny? Just a bit of gentle interrogation of the man who tried to kill you and landed you in ICU for a month.

Edit for swypoes.
