Anti-Trump Harvard Professor Floats Fake Claim That Dossier Source Died In Russia Plane Crash
[Daily Caller] A Harvard law professor and member of the anti-Trump "Resistance" floated the false rumor Monday that a source for the unverified Steele dossier was killed in a plane crash in Russia over the weekend.

Laurence Tribe claimed on Twitter that Sergei Millian, a Belarus-born businessman alleged to be a dossier source, was killed Sunday when a Saratov Airlines plane crashed near Moscow. All 71 passengers died.

"Among those killed in the tragic plane crash yesterday: Sergei Millian, a Papadopoulis friend who had emailed Kushner and is said to be behind one of the most salacious claims in the dossier on Trump’s involvement with Russia," wrote Tribe, who has been described as Barack Obama’s legal mentor from the former president’s days at Harvard Law School.

#1 Leaving aside for the moment that a) Sergei wasn't on the plane and B) isn't dead, you have to admit it is pretty suspicious.

Harvard seems to be way over-rated judging from some of their near-recent alumni.

#8  Saratov Airline Flight 703 , wiki

If you go down to the bottom of the wiki page, there is a passenger list to click on.

I've got to say that it looks like a complete loss of power or an explosion looking at the loss of altitude plot. The plane sank like a stone.

#10 Just watched American Made with Tom Cruise on a flight back from Central America... getting bored with TC, but had a pretty creative final sequence where he politely asks strangers to take their conversations away from his car when he starts it. Wonder if some spy vs spy craftwork explains this event where the cause of the crash is always painfully obvious- gravity.
