New York medical examiners investigating the mysterious death of a Russian diplomat are contradicting the police conclusions in the case.

Sergei Krivov, a 63-year-old security officer, was found dead on the morning of Election Day – November 8 – at the Russian Consulate in New York.

Initially, the New York Police Department ruled that the death was caused by a head wound, according to BuzzFeed.

But the city's medical examiner now says that Krivov died of internal bleeding related to a tumor.

'The medical examiner's findings do not include head trauma,' Julie Bolcer, a spokesperson for the Medical Examiner's office, told BuzzFeed when asked about the discrepancy.

'The medical examiner did not find that. That is not in the findings.'

The examiner's conclusions add another wrinkle to the odd case, which apparently also involved the FBI despite earlier denials.

The bureau helped the NYPD investigate Krivov's death, according to BuzzFeed.

A US intelligence official told BuzzFeed that the FBI failed to find anything suspicious in Krivov's death.

Neither the FBI or the NYPD was willing to comment on the BuzzFeed story.

Initially, there were reports that Krivov died after falling from the roof of the consulate.

But Russian officials then said that the cause of death was a heart attack that made him fall and hit his head.

The NYPD closed the case without specifying a cause of death.

Krivov was known to be in charge of a top-secret encryption program that encoded and decoded messages sent between the consulate and Moscow.

That means it was his responsibility to prevent US spy agencies from bugging the consulate.

Though he was believed to have resided in Manhattan, Krivov's name does not appear in public records.

The only address on file was a building that isn't even a residence.

The building at 11 East 90th Street is an office building owned by the Smithsonian to service its neighboring Cooper Hewitt design museum.

Krivov is the seventh Russian diplomat or top government official to die under less-than-clear circumstances since November, according to Axios.

On December 19, Russia's ambassador to Turkey, Andrei Karlov, was assassinated by a gun-wielding Turkish police officer at a photo exhibit in Ankara.

On the same day, another diplomat, Peter Polshikov, was shot dead in his Moscow apartment.

Polshikov was shot in the head by an assailant while he was home with his wife in the Balaklavsky Prospekt section of the Russian capital.

He was said to be a high-ranking diplomat who worked in the Latin American department of the Russian Foreign Ministry, according to the Mirror.

A week later, Oleg Erovinkin, the former head of the KGB, was found dead in the back of his car, according to The Telegraph.

Erovinkin, who was an aide to former deputy prime minister Igor Sechin, is suspected of helping former British spy Christopher Steele compile the now-infamous dossier that contained unconfirmed allegations against President Donald Trump.

The ministry gave no details on the circumstances of his death but offered condolences to his relatives and said the diplomat had died one day before his 65th birthday.

It declined to comment on reports that Churkin had been taken to a hospital shortly before his death.

A US government official, who was not authorized to speak publicly on the case, said that Churkin had died of an apparent heart attack.

3 things that are common threads in Trump circle/cabinet They are either racist, incompetent or adversarial to the position they hold.

So this is their way of avoiding the topic and placing the responsibility on someone else for the bullshit comments the president made based on a Breitbart article.

Press needs to figure out a way to back Trump against the wall on all his bullshit. Somehow expose the lunacy of his administration to his adamant supporters.

Conservative Republicans are beyond hope,reason,logic and common sense

All one has to do, is read the comment sections on Fox,Breitbart,the Daily Caller,theBlaze. etc,etc

 
So the guy who will be selling the US steel to build the Keystone Pipeline is a Russian oligarch who's really close with Putin......

Man either u see what's going on or you choose not to

Patrons Walk Out As Ala. Official Pushes Voter ID At Selma Anniversary Service

After Alabama’s Secretary of State John Merrill promoted the state's voter ID law at a church service held Sunday to commemorate the anniversary of a civil rights milestone in Selma, patrons walked out.

The service at Brown Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Alabama was held to commemorate the 52nd anniversary of the "Bloody Sunday" march that erupted in police violence on Selma's Edmund Pettus Bridge, according to a video posted to Rev. William Barber's Facebook page.

Barber, who is president and senior lecturer of Repairers of the Breach, and church patrons walked out after Merrill spoke in support of Alabama's voter ID law, according to the video's caption.

"We can't be polite about this. We can't be casual or cavalier," Barber told a reporter. "We have more voter suppression in recent years than we've seen since Jim Crow."

He said that Merrill's promotion of the voter ID law was "another lie."

"I don't care if you came as secretary of state, to stand up and tell another lie, to push the lie of voter ID and confuse people, normalize it, on a day when the nation is watching," Barber said. "You cannot come and stand in that pulpit and promote a voter suppression tactic and then we just sit there."

He said that "democracy is at stake."

"You cannot have a democracy where voter suppression is normalized, where people will politely let people say to them what they're doing, in their face and in their church, and it's okay," Barber said. "To respect injustice is to be a part of it."

"If you undermine voting," he added, "everything else falls apart."

In October 2015, Merrill insisted that the closure of 31 driver's license offices — many in majority black counties — would not prevent residents from obtaining the government-issued photo ID required to vote in Alabama.

Before the 2016 election, he went on to blast automatic voter registration, saying that it would "cheapen" the work of civil rights leaders.

"If you’re too sorry or lazy to get up off of your rear and to go register to vote, or to register electronically, and then to go vote, then you don’t deserve that privilege," Merrill said.


He then lashed out at criticism of Alabama's registration process and threatened to prosecute a filmmaker who described registering to vote in the state as "complex and complicated."

Merrill threatened to prosecute Brian Jenkins if he was registered in two states, even though Jenkins never claimed to be registered in Alabama.

Alabama's secretary of state is no stranger to controversial comments. In April 2016, Merrill criticized calls for the removal of Confederate symbols from government buildings. He called the symbols a monument to "a way of life that makes us special and unique."
 
So nobody close to him has the sense to say "hey maybe this is a bad idea"??? Bout the wiretapping idea??? Bunch of goddamn pussy ass yes men, he could call for an investigation into a monster in the basement and those jackasses would cosign it, i know its part of the job but damn at what point does he cross the line with these bullshit allegations?? Where his family at??? But Im gonna assume there isnt a line to cross wit him
