19. Okay...WHY WOULD THEY EVEN CONSIDER A RUSSIAN?
Wed Nov 21, 2018, 02:04 PM
Nov 2018

After Russia, with approval at the highest levels, systematically cheated doping police during Sochi

After Russia, illegally annexed Crimea and invaded the Ukraine.

After Russia was caught interfering in Germany's and France's election

After Russia was caught interfering with the USA elections?


They are the Russian Mafia, led by a "Don" that has stolen money from his competitors in the billions, murdered journalists, and imprisoned political rivals on 'trumped up' charges.

The idea that Interpol would have been led by a Putin stooge, that we even came close to that, is frightening.
