There is no full translation available yet of this appearance on Russian TV by Maria Zakharova today:

Link to tweet

Spokeswoman of #Russia's MFA re: Trump's recent closure of RF facilities: "Not all US Presidents were able to complete their term in office"

Link to tweet

Stunned host of #Russia's state TV asks whether she is predicting impeachment, she says it's NOT about impeachment.

Link to tweet

Zakharova specifies she does not mean impeachment, says to "look at U.S. history"—implying assassinations? Just wow.

Link to tweet

Perhaps she's implying Trump is going after #Russia only because he's afraid of being taken out by the "deep state."

I'll post the source of these statements below.

There's been lots of speculation in the responses to Davis's tweets. Some people see this as a Russian warning to Trump -- which really shouldn't be necessary, since I doubt Trump is unfamiliar with what's happened to so many of the people Putin viewed as enemies or opponents. Others even suggest that if the Russians decide to get rid of Trump, they'd want to make it look as though his opponents here in America did it.



I don't speak Russian. I'd be curious about what anyone here who's fluent in Russian gets from Zakharova's comments (YouTube link below).

I've been searching for anything else about this, haven't found anything yet. I found Davis's tweets through a retweet by John Schindler.

1. Choices

Impeachment, resigning, indicted, pee tapes. So many possibilities.

[Orrex]

2. We're talking Russia here, so polonium is also on the menu

Can't see them engaging in such an overt act of war, but a year ago I wouldn't have thought that they'd buy a candidate and fuck with the election, either.

3. Trump better watch what he puts in his mouth

[delisen]

4. Polonium Tic-Tacs?

7. Wouldn't be at all surprised if Putin already has those on a list of possible ways

to get rid of Trump, if he decides he wants or needs to.

[Blindingly apparent]

10. Agree

The moment Trump is no longer a useful idiot, Putin will take him out-- physically or politically I don't know but certainly one of them

[Orrex]

5. In that picture...

he looks exactly like the crazy homeless guy who used to hang out at the 24/7 Hardee's where I worked in the early 90s.

That guy wore a similar cap, and he wore it better.

6. LOL

yeah, and this was Trump at his finest at Bedminster during the Women's Open

What a loser he is!

[smirkymonkey]

9. God, he's disgusting.

Such a national embarrassment.

8. Palmer Report on these comments of Zakharova's:

http://www.palmerreport.com/politics/kremlin-finish-trump/4709/

There are a number of ways in which Russia could finish off Donald Trump. The most salacious would be to release the long fabled “Pee Pee Tape.” But the Kremlin could just as easily leak documents proving that Trump illegally borrowed money from Russian banks, as has long been suspected. Now we see whether Russia really is ready to finish off Trump and cut its losses.

This is always a possibility, too.

Though Zakharova's "look at US history" comment doesn't mesh very well with the possibility of the Russians releasing kompromat.
