The Russians sure do love them some poison.

Don’t count out the Clintons — maybe these two were involved with the WikiLeaks emails. Poison instead of a shot behind the ear isn’t their style, but they are devious enough to try throwing off the scent. Wasn’t Christopher Steele handling Litvinov at the time he drank the plutonium tea?

Only one thing more deadly than that, and it’s origins are from Little Rock.

Wet works seems to be more a Clinton modus operandi...

Must have been the defining moment when he joined Putin to plot against Westerners...

Col Skripal, a retired Russian military intelligence officer, was jailed for 13 years by Russia in 2006.

He was convicted of passing the identities of Russian intelligence agents working undercover in Europe to the UK’s Secret Intelligence Service, MI6.

In July 2010, he was one of four prisoners released by Moscow in exchange for 10 Russian spies arrested by the FBI as part of a swap. He was later flown to the UK.

Or would that be “Putincide”?

Putin likes to kill political opponents. And lots of other people. It’s for fun.
