"Imagine Bill Clinton having the Outlaw’s Motorcycle Gang as supporters and strongarms."

Sounds like present day Venezuela.

Found very close to the Kremlin.
On a bridge.
Alone...
Very late at night.

Something stinks, IMO.

DETAILS: An investigative committee spokesman said that seven shots were fired

“Anti-Putin march, tomorrow.”

yep...
And if you wanted to create an anti-Putin sh**storm, what better way than to kill one his most outspoken opponents, right outside of the Kremlin, just hours before a big march?

Yeah, I’m reading about it now. There’s no way this won’t be construed as a Putin hit.

Without even having to red about it, I would say that Putin’s hands are all over this.

This must be important....

#Nemtsov has passed #dressgate to be #2 on Twitter worldwide, but is still behind #LeonardNimoy

That's a reasonable argument. Stalin never killed anyone. All of Stalin's victims were killed by his enemies, who were trying to smear the Great Leader.

“He was just in the news a couple of days ago for something.
I’ll look it up.”

I remember now.
He was rasing hell recently about corruption involving the Sochi Olympics, and was threatening to name names.

Nemtsov was planning to lead a march against the war in Ukraine on Sunday.

It’s Russia...

Intrigue upon layer of intrigue upon layers of intrigue is pretty much the norm.
