For instance, in the NY neighborhood where I grew up, you might very well hear something like, "Oh, yeah, Frankie died of 'natural causes' - his heart stopped when the icepick entered it."

The hotel window thing draws too much attention.
My money is on "went out for cigarettes and never came back".

Gotta admit, I've found myself musing about that, regarding trump, if the "Russia thing" gets too hot for him, how low might he want to or try to go - to get rid of his accusers if he can't silence them, to make it all go away?
Glad to be here! Yes, indeed, this Russia thing might be getting to a bit much for Trump...

Page, and even Kushner are on Putin's to see list.

(253 posts)Thanks for posting this non-video link. It gives more background detail than the video. IMO, most likely, the Russians and/or Trump considered Misfud a threat. I hope he is alive but I fear the worst. He is not the first to disappear and likely won't be the last.

(58,785 posts)Newsweek: "Within two weeks of joining Donald Trumps presidential campaign, George Papadopoulos met a professor while traveling in Italy. Their encounter took place on March 14, 2016, after Trump had named Papadopoulos a foreign policy adviser earlier that month. The London-based professor apparently told Papadopoulos he had ties to Russian officials, and over the next weeks and months, the adviser spoke with campaign leaders about arranging a meeting with those officials."
But if what this suggests is true, the East River's okay.
