that maybe Putin was smart enough to organize a non-committal conspiracy with a man who's weaknesses he knew well? Because if I can get a guy to help me out at every turn because he sees me as a friend, I don't need tacit communication or written confirmation which at best is not needed,and if things don't work out is more likely to become evidence against my actions.
