The question you should ask is: who are the Chechens afraid of pissing off if they coddled the family?
Obama?, Hillary?, the Socialist DemoRats?, the American people?
The Republicans?, the American Conservative Right?
...
or Putin and the Russian Nationalists?
I hadn’t given it any thought.
Perhaps they’re crooks there, too.
You’re right. The US taxpayers are probably assisting their “American lawyers” in some way. And why do they need American lawyers if they’re not charged with anything (yet)?
I would have thought Putin would be getting tired of mama but they went from Chechnya to Dagestan so that’s a head scratcher.
