The entire West is reporting Alexei Navalny was ordered to be killed by Putin in jail to sabotage a prisoner swap in which Navalny would have been exchanged for a convicted hitman jailed in Germany.

So a CIA-backed Ukrainian intel official is now telling us that, actually, Navalny died of natural causes. You’ve got to wonder what’s going on here. It’s pretty obvious.
