This out? well, let me start by saying that max is absolutely right, there are way more questions than answers. but what this appears to be is going down that road of beginning to build a public case legally, of course that is kind of weird because, in moscow and russia there is no rule of law. but they are building a public case against him, with regard to criminality and corruption. but here s the problem. the problem is that was on television on tonight s go saying, by the way all, that wagner stuff that you heard about. they are paid by the state. we are the ones who funded them. putin said this publicly to all russians who happened to be watching television at that time. so the russians already know that if there is any corruption, all the money that they find, all the stuff they find in his apartment, if you put two and two together it is from the kremlin. so how they are going to square the circle and hope that the propaganda works, it is often doesn t russia, they are just
