Donald Trump’s Russian murders

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Since Donald Trump was declared the winner of the 2016 election, a startling number of prominent Russians have been murdered or died under suspicious circumstances. Russians fell out of windows and off roofs. Russians died of “heart attacks” but had severe head wounds. In fact there have been so many of these, Palmer Report eventually gave up tracking them all. Several of these suspiciously dead Russians had direct or indirect connections to the Trump-Russia scandal. Suddenly, those murders are newly relevant.

Donald Trump is fervently siding with the government of Saudi Arabia, even as it’s becoming more painfully clear by the day that its Crown Prince had American journalist Jamal Khashoggi murdered and dismembered in order to silence him. Trump is tacitly admitting what we already know: he’s so personally financially beholden to the Saudi royal family, he can’t dare speak up against them. At the least, Trump’s ongoing deference to the Saudis helped create the environment in which Khashoggi’s murder happened. At worst, for all we know, Trump could have been along for the ride.

This is why the Russian murders are more important than ever. For instance, in early 2017, the Russian government found out that one of its own intel officials had provided intel for the Trump-Russia dossier, and so it dragged him away with a bag over his head and then presumably murdered him. How did the Russians find out that this guy was working with western intel agents?

At the time, Palmer Report asked if Trump might have been the one who gave up the guy to Putin, in the hope of making the Trump-Russia scandal go away. Of course we acknowledged that there was no way for us to know the answer at the time. We still have no way of knowing. But if Trump is willing to fall this deeply in line with the Saudis over the Khashoggi murder, simply because he owes them a few bucks, how deeply in line might he have been with all these Russian government murders?
