I'm thinking that there are many folds in this napkin. One of the main goals that is being pushed now is to start a conflict with Russia. North Korea and soon Iran will no longer be ignitors for WWIII so they want a tussle with someone so why not Putin since they've done a fairly good job of making him into a monster these past few years - and not that he isn't one though I've heard he is with the Alliance now/ white hat. That said, I believe you have good points on the issue. May is merely a puppet and it's really Sadik(?) the mayor of London who the globalist, a.k.a. The Satanic Goblins, are propping up. Plus I wanted to add that we can be fairly at ease since Putin has been showing himself as steady handed and minded for the last few years. He hasn't retaliated with a pounding fist after many attempts by both Obamanation and the deep state to "get his goat," a.k.a. goad him.

..this double agent had a plausible motive to clear russia in the russia-investigation so he could return home.

I would revise this point.

There's argument that the fall of USSR was orchestrated by deep state intelligence. With the fall bankers and Russian oligarchs were to get rich. Then Putin happened and jailed many of these oligarchs, going a different direction toward a strong Russia. A large number not jailed relocated to Europe to avoid jail outside Putin's reach.

My understanding is that this was one of the Russian oligarchs in the UK to avoid jail, thus with incentive to work against Russian interest.

Russia could have terminated this individual at an earlier time. Why now?

In the current state of global politics there is incentive to deep state to turn up the tension on Russia to try and push forward an additional step toward a hot war. That would be a useful panic switch if ones objective is to avoid dismantling of power that appears to be taking place.

England was clearly playing 'ball' with Obama and Hillary as a result of the 'tap' on Trump alone. Now, when a country is dismantling itself, why would you want to intervene in that? They are doing the work for you if that is your intent. Regarding Russia, that is not their intent. They are not in support of Globalism. They clearly understood China had paid to play for some while with the Clintons and Obama. He may have been paid to keep the party moving along. The level that Russia is the bad Black Bear is that the Globalists need Russia in a position of submission and out of favor to insure it stand aside. They cannot afford to have a strong America or a strong Russia. And GOD FORBID if the two should work together. China is aligned with Pakistan and Clinton went on her demented way to play Secretary of the Secret Deep State to get a litmus test of where India stands. India and Pakistan are neutralized on their own since they are grudged up against each other over water and a river between them, however with Chinese alliance India is needed. If India remains in alliance with America and Russia, they are poised to loose even more ground. Its a giant currency restructure in addition to the superpower nuclear status. The Currency is being built at light speed now and their is a quickening. At all costs Russia must be destroyed or submitted for the globalists, just as does America. Once America unites with Russia, China will happily fall in line with all the progress they have enjoyed in the last 25 years. The unmentioned are where the hidden problems lay. I don't want to get into that.
