There’s something else at work here with Scott Ritter. I don’t like the guy, but recognize that something could be wrong with the entire set-up to which Ritter has been subjected.
I’m not sure his criminal convictions are bonafide. Here’s someone allegedly caught twice on-line with underaged girls, and you have Judge Napolitano still welcoming him to his program? Not that Napolitano is the guiding light, but remembering this is the man who pushed Trump to reveal the JFK documents. Trump replying that if Napolitano had seen what’s in them, he wouldn’t reveal them either. I think Napolitano is a pretty ‘clean’ guy, and partially because of his association with Trump, it tells me that there’s something amiss with what’s happening with and to Scott Ritter.
Ritter’s convictions, which have been publicly broadcasted to no end, is free and on the streets; no jail time at all that I know of. His passport in hand, until it was confiscated on a flight about to depart for Moscow. His home now raided by FBI; shades of Trump/Mar-a-lago on this one! Ritter still a welcome guest on Judge Napolitano’s program? Ritter knows something that TPTB don’t want revealed.
In peeling this onion, I’m finding Ritter, a man with a family. A big mouth, like Trump. Ritter criminally convicted, FBI raid, and still running his mouth (just like Trump). It would not surprise me if Ritter did not actually commit any crimes, and is now a target for assassination, just as Trump was, and still is targeted. The Trump/Ritter comparison is different, for obvious reasons, but have similarities that shouldn’t be ignored. I think people have made this too complicated with regard to both men and with Ritter, have swallowed the narrative bait in one gulp.
The classic tactics used by powers in such cases is #1 Threaten the lives of family members, #2 Create legal stumbling blocks that are difficult, sometimes impossible to overcome, #3 A final warning (varies) before assassination (FBI raids on both mens’ homes). It doesn’t get any more classic ‘gangland’ than this! Just as fire, floods, inflation, and over-taxing works, so do tried-and-true gang tactics. TPTB do not change what works! Why would they?
I’m not saying Ritter is a nice guy, with no history; neither is Trump, but they’re after both, IMO. Ritter knows something. His wife & daughter are the big leverage, so if they’re killed, Ritter’s a loose cannon. In Trumps’ case, he has more extended family to work with; direct family is treated differently.
Will Ritter be killed in some way? How about a sudden heart attack (like Robert Trump), an accident (like Ivana Trump), or street attack (Seth Rich), or shot outright. Ritter knows something. Why a trip to Russia? Was he delivering some kind of message? IDK. Will just have to watch and see what unfolds.
