Russia's Investigative Committee
Yeah, that's about as a reliable a source as WTF this news site is.
- I don't have a study to cite on long term bias, but Scripps used to be newsy which used to be at least serviceable for what amounted to AP syndication.
  I didn't have a clue they were still around till just this instant, but at least the foundation is not something that sprung up yesterday as a Russian puppet.

Good. Now someone book a flight for Putler.
- He's too scared to fly anywhere outside Russia.
  
  Now that's is not very alpha Male of him.
- Not saying he booked this one for prigozhin
Confirmed by Russia. So really, no new information.
this guy scared the SHIT out of Putin
- What doesn't? At this point I'd guess most people want him dead.
- this guy acted as a cover for putin and got all power from him. now that this plausible deniability is not needed because no one will believe it anyway, he can be discarded
  
  none of that makes any sense.. it must be the way Putin sees things..
I'm convinced this guy is still alive in a Russian basement somewhere, with electrodes hooked up to his balls
- pfft, Putin couldn't get anywhere near this guy.. the only way was a couple of cowardly missiles up the ass of his civilian jet.. the cowardly way.. Putin's way..
  
  He was surrounded by Wagner officers at all times. That's who was on the plane with him. They took out a bunch of the Wagner upper echelon. I don't think that will be as wise a choice as they believe, but we'll see.
He was confirmed dead when Putin offered condolences.
Damn, those open windows are getting out of hand
