a few days ago, a Rusiian opposition leader was jailed again AFTER potentially being poisoned by the Kremlin
On the same day, I think, the State Department finally announced the weakest of sanctions against Ruussia from a prior poisoning on English soil in 2018
On the same day (I think), Trump speaks with Putin about fires in Siberia, but never mentions this or Russian interference. Trump later mocks a question about Russian interference in 2020 as, essentially, a "hoax."

#LeningradLindsey (agon, took millions)
