That's what Trump fears, too. The Russian mafia is an arm of the FSB...so much so that there is little distinction from the perspective of the IC. There are no rules. They have and will kill who they please. That's what everybody involved here is truly scared of. Just sayin...

(348 posts)That's the true underbelly of all this for Trump... The Russian crime $ that has backed him and that he has cleaned for decades. This is part of what the Southern District of New York case will be about, and the amount of rocks being turned over will send profound reverberations throughout the criminal underworld of NYC and many other large metropolitan hubs for the Russians. Heads will roll in all this chaos. It's a top-down shake-down of a huge fucking sector of entrenched financial concerns. There are a lot of people and operations that will all go down because of Trump. Many of them may already want him gone. This is why he fears assassination. He knows what his stupid reality show is gonna eventually cost.
