We’re getting closer to the moment when he chooses which way he goes and you can sense the hard liners manoeuvring to pounce if it’s not the way they want, but with Pelosi’s Irish statement and now the developing situation in the US they look increasingly marginalised.

@IAPonomarenko It suggests they were being made to talk by their Russian captors, so possibly some were even tortured into making false statements. As with all misinformation more truths are to be found in in what isn’t being said than in what is. So potentially a Russian cover up.
