I would say just the opposite.

They're trying to create evidence of Pizzagate?

LOL! No, what I meant is that, given their legislative record and public remarks by Putin and his officials, it's far more likely Russian Federation is doing its best to end child trafficking, first with Russian orphans and in the Ukraine and internationally.

The closure and subsequent FBI search of the San Francisco Embassy is very intriguing. I have the distinct impression that the FBI was looking for evidence of someone having been hidden in the embassy. Attic and closets were ransacked, floors ripped up, dogs brought in. I wonder if they were looking for evidence of Seth Rich having been there. Remember, Eric Braverman was last seen going into the Russian Embassy in DC. Perhaps Seth also sought asylum with the Russians. Nobody would ever think of him going to San Francisco.

Just a thought.

you don't believe this do you? If so why?

The rumors abound and persist and Eric has never appeared to deny them. Edward Snowden, of course, also applied for asylum to Russia.

Rumors abound? That's it? That's your reason? I think you also want to believe those rumors.

Eric has never appeared to deny them.

on a scale of 1-10 how strong do you think this evidence is? Can you think of reasons why he wouldn't bother to deny them?

Also I just discovered a couple of amusing coincidences. Given all our talk about tunnels. Eric Braverman tweeted about this

and this just happened.

Park Avenue neurosurgeon arrested for sexually assaulting patient

A Park Avenue neurosurgeon was arrested for sexually assaulting a patient in his exam room, authorities said.

The victim told authorities the assault happened July 20 when Dr. Eric Braverman ushered her into his office, gave her a massage, and then inserted his fingers inside her.

Braverman, 59, who was busted on Halloween, had “no legitimate purpose” to touch the woman other than “for the purpose of degrading and abusing her,” according to his criminal complaint.

Alright, I'm open to being wrong. It just seemed too convenient to happen twice and I may have jumped to a conclusion.

Gilderoy ago

I might be wrong, too. Hard to know anything for certain in the present environment of smoke and mirrors.

The_Savant ago

Pfff, that fucking guy! He's only here at the climax of the story to make you doubt yourself, don't listen to him. I think we can agree that whichever side Russia is on, they may have had some evidence that someone COULD possibly want to destroy - whether it is just one rat on the inside or a malicious attack from an outsider can be theorized upon I guess.

To say the least the timing is very convenient.

Thanks for the intervention, but AreWeSure and I go back a long way and always have a good time hitting the ball back and forth. I appreciate his/her questions and comments, and in this case he/she is correct, and my attempt to validate were pathetic. I don't have a reliable source for the claim that Eric Braverman sought asylum at the Russian Embassy in NY except for George Webb's videos where I heard it originally, and some secondary news sources.

As for Russians burning evidence of human trafficking---this is their response: "The staff were given two days to shut down operations forced employees to burn sensitive documents containing personal information of Americans and Russians used in the processing of passports and visas. “We didn’t have time to pack them all. We had to destroy them,” he said. Acrid black smoke could be seen billowing out of the consulate’s chimney on Friday, prompting a visit from the Fire Department."

Sounds plausible. The US govt also rummaged through the Russian archives:

"Following the seizure of our Consulate General by the American authorities, some of our archives have been inspected, re-packed and moved without any consultation with the Russian party by a private haulage company." https://us16.campaign-archive.com/?u=06900cfd3e8fcaaf074d90e64&id=acb174fb78
