This appears to be a hurried-up CYA operation by the Mueller/Rosenstein/Wray trifecta to help bail out the FBI’s latest screw up that came to light last Friday the one that cost 17 people their lives.
They probably had this old Russian business magazine article tucked away, knowing that with the dopers and loafers at work in the Obama era intel agencies, the day would come when they would need to quickly pull something out of their *** to deflect attention. That was last Friday.
BINGO!!!!!!! Thrown out on Friday to take all the attention away from their TOTAL SCREW UP in the SCHOOL SHOOTING of 17 DEAD PEOPLE!
Mueller knows he can churn out garbage and the CNN/MSNBC mob will not only cover for him but sing his praises, and the critics will be ignored. It would dignify it to call it political theater.
