PENDING COUP AGAINST PUTIN?

Ukraine's spy chief claims pending Russian coup is underway.

Speaking to Sky News in an article published Saturday, Major General Kyrylo Budanova said he was optimistic about Russia's defeat, suggesting that the loss would lead to Putin being removed from power. And it's thought that the war will likely to be over by the end of the year.

It will eventually lead to the change of leadership of the Russian Federation. This process has already been launched.

Meanwhile, Gordon B. Davis Jr., former deputy assistant secretary-general of NATO's defense investment division dismissed the idea, thinking a coup will be in the near future is not likely. Despite this, Budanova appeared more optimistic.

During the interview, Budanov also claimed that Putin is currently in “a very bad psychological and physical condition, and he is very sick." In recent years, there has been considerable speculation about Putin’s alleged ill-health. And an oligarch close to Putin had claimed the Kremlin leader is “very ill with blood cancer.”

The breaking point will be in the second part of August. Most of the active combat actions will have finished by the end of this year. As a result, we will renew Ukrainian power in all our territories that we have lost, including Donbas and the Crimea.

DURAM WANTS ex-TIMES REPORTER
TO ANSWER ALL HIS QUESTIONS

Former New York Times Reporter requests certain questions to be off-limits

Special Council John Durham requested that controversial former NY Times Reporter, Eric Lichtblau be forced to answer all questions posed to him during the Sussmann trial despite request to limit the scope of inquiries.

If Lichtblau takes the witness stand at trial, the Court should require him to answer all relevant questions posed to him that fall within the scope of his direct testimony, the criminal charge, or his credibility and reliability.

During the court case against Michael Sussman, former FBI General Counsel James Baker testified this Thursday that Sussmann warned Baker in 2016 that a major news outlet would be publishing a story on the Trump-Russia story. Baker then testified that days later, he and Sussmann spoke by phone trying to divine the identity of the reporter.  After which, Baker identified that Lichtblau was the reporter who agreed to delay the publication of the story.

Sussmann's own legal team have subpoenaed Lichtblau to testify, the reporter afterwards having sought to have a 'protective order restricting the government's ability to cross-examine him and reporter's privilege.'  Lichtblau, a two-times Pulitzer Prize winner earned one of his awards for publishing a piece tying Russia to the Trump campaign, Special Council Robert Mueller later finding that there was no evidence collusion ever existed.
