15 second story about the Russian asset staying jail [View all]
Saw on MSNBC this morning. The hearing was this morning, so it was live, breaking news but still seemed to garnish very brief coverage. Maybe a few sentences and the guy on MSNBC was almost dismissive in his attitude. Although a judge, who I assume is in possession of the facts, thinks he's a flight risk and should stay in jail, the reporter said that Smirnov is basically a big talker. Tried to make it seem like it was all much ado about nothing.
Still no photo, mugshot or otherwise, of the guy. Corporate media is scared to death of this story or sees it as not helpful to their "narrative"
