Pet theory… Richard Russell never existed. AI-generated face. Plane was flown remotely by wizards & warlocks, explaining the random ability to do a barrel roll at precise altitude to barely clear the water. Name chosen for either the racist democrat, or the sub named after him - not sure.
When RR said, "I have lots of people who care about me…" that was Q tossing a hot potato to the press, who would need to explain why they couldn't locate ONE of those many people. I envision wizard/warlocks laughing uncontrollably in background when "RR" uttered that phrase.
Now watch RR "family" presser again… https://hooktube.com/watch?v=h5fFJgdhBm4
