US embassy hires security firm of former Russian spy who worked with Putin

Trump & Tillerson gave a no-bid Moscow embassy security contract to a close ally of Putin. All of this is impeachment worthy. If is was President Hillary Clinton it would be death penalty worthy, and yet it barely gets a mention in the maelstrom of fucked up shit that is the Trump administration.

The US embassy in Moscow is to be guarded by a company owned by a former head of KGB counter-intelligence who worked with British double agent Kim Philby and young Vladimir Putin, after cuts to US staff demanded by Russia.

Elite Security Holdings was awarded a $2.83 million contract to provide “local guard services for US mission Russia,” which includes the Moscow embassy and consulates in St Petersburg, Yekaterinburg and Vladivostok, according to a post on a US state procurement website.

The contract and background of the firm came to light in a Kommersant newspaper report on Friday.
