After the Helsinki summit, Fox News anchor Chris Wallace was sitting down with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and Fox News opinion host Sean Hannity was sitting down with President Trump. (Host Tucker Carlson’s interview with Trump is to air Tuesday night.) Folks who saw the result of both Monday sessions might ask: Do these fellows work for the same company?

True to the reputation he has built over the decades — lately on “Fox News Sunday” — Wallace treated Putin to a civil, cerebral and almost brutal interrogation about his record, his methods, his hostility to the United States, the U.S. indictment of Russians on suspicion of election interference, the killing of political foes, the bombing of civilians in Syria and other important topics. Here was a key moment:

WALLACE: You say nothing happened to you, but I need to ask you, domestically — not internationally, domestically, inside Russia — why is it that so many of the people that oppose Vladimir Putin end up dead or close to it? Former Russian spy and double-agent Sergei Skripal, the victim of a nerve agent attack in England. Boris Nemtsov, a political opponent, gunned down near the Kremlin. Investigative reporter Anna Politkovskaya, murdered in an apartment building. Why is it that so many people who were political enemies of Vladimir Putin are attacked?

PUTIN: Well, first of all, all of us have plenty of political rivals. I’m pretty sure President Trump has plenty of political rivals.

WALLACE: But they don’t end up dead.

PUTIN: Well, not always — well, haven’t presidents been killed in the United States? Have you forgotten about — well, has Kennedy been killed in Russia or in the United States? Or Mr. King?

In a bit of a stunt, Wallace attempted to hand to Putin a copy of the recent indictment of the 12 Russians accused of participating in election-oriented hacking. Putin steadfastly refused to make tactile contact with the document, gesturing to Wallace to leave it on a table. It may well have been the first time on Monday in Helsinki that anyone got in the face of the Russian president.

Politkovskaya -- killed by Chechens

The faggots in London -- traitors killed by the KGB and they all deserved it.

Nothing to apologize for.

just 6 years ago I was an Obama voter.

I'm more suspicious of anybody that *didn't* change their stripes after O 2nd term

we can't go down this road of tacitly supporting killing rando journalists and political opponents, etc. it's already clear that the Clintons/Deep State have likely had people killed. our civilization is hanging by a thread. we don't want to live this way.

we need to preserve the anglo-saxon civil society. 'Nationalism' doesn't have to mean brutish totalitarianism.

That said, they still have far greater freedom to speak on issues of immigration and who is raping/killing their fellow citizens.

The journalist, Maksim Borodin, 32, was hospitalized in a coma after he was found sprawled out below his balcony in the city’s Kirov district on Thursday, according to New Day, the local news agency where he had worked. On Sunday morning, he died.

Investigators summoned to the scene had found the door to his apartment locked from the inside, a police spokesman, Valery Gorelykh, told the local E1 news agency. “Those facts suggest that no one left the apartment and that there were probably no strangers there,” he said.

While police are still investigating Borodin’s death, it is not being treated as suspicious, Russia’s Investigative Committee said in a statement.

Yet in a country where opposition activists and muckraking journalists are routinely attacked and sometimes killed in connection with their work, that assertion was met with derision in some quarters. The doubters pointed to a telephone call Borodin made the day before he fell.

In the call early Wednesday, he told a friend, Vyacheslav Bashkov, that there was a man with a gun on his balcony, and that several others in masks and camouflage clothing were lurking in the stairwell leading to his apartment. In an interview, Bashkov said that Borodin had called back an hour later and said he had been mistaken and that he thought the armed men were probably taking part in a training exercise.

Around the same time, Borodin reached out to another friend, Yulia Fedotova, about the armed men surrounding his apartment. But in a telephone interview, Fedotova urged caution about assigning blame for his death.

“Let’s switch on our logic here,” she said. “Why would someone break into his apartment in broad daylight and throw him off his balcony? Even if some serious people wanted him dead, they would know that a person can survive such a fall.”
