Huge Mob boss Cortese flips in Italy and within hours Putin’s party offices are on fire. I’m sure it’s just an accident and a total coincidence.

And hours later the United Russian offices are on fire. That Putin’s political party offices.

Russians have been known to burn evidence.

From what is being reported, the building on fire is an apartment building that was under constriction/repair.
I haven't seen anything suggesting that United Russia offices were in that building, other than the tweet (from whoever that is).

So people find it coincidental that Putin’s political party’s offices caught on fire just a bit later. Especially since we’ve seen that happen before.

has his hands in most EVERY large criminal network in and out of governments.

Putin’s Russian mobs were establishing roots in US cities in the 80s. The nightclubs were filled with women and drugs. Real estate was their easiest way to launder cash.

Just throwing it out there. Global crime networks have been pretty much consolidated under a Putin over the last 3 decades, which is why Trump views Putin as the wealthiest, most powerful person in the world.

Italy would not be able to enter Russia to do a search regardless of what some mafia boss said or didn't say.
