Putin to press Biden on human rights
Not something I had imagined I would ever see...
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said alleged rioters are being “persecuted” and that Putin will turn the tables on Biden over US support for Russian dissidents, such as jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who last year survived poisoning attempts.
“We are ready to talk, we have no taboo topics. We will discuss whatever we think is necessary. We will be ready to answer the questions that the American side will raise. This also applies to human rights,” Lavrov reportedly said at a press conference Monday in Moscow.
“For example, we are following with interest the persecution of those persons who are accused of the riots on January 6 this year,” Lavrov said.

You Americans. You boast and brag about your freedom and liberty. But vee en Russia have same tings.
For example ...you Americans boast about freedom of speech, and that you can go to Vashington, and you can go to Vite House, and you can go to Oval Office, and you can go right up to President Biden, and you can say to him "YOU...Mr. Biden are SON OF b***h!". And that no consequence happens to you!
Is no big ting. Here in Russia is same ting.
I can go to Moscow, I can go to Kremlin, I can go to office of head of Russian Republic, and I can say to him "MR. PUTIN!...Mr Biden...he is SON OF b***h!". And no consequence happens to me either!
This probably won't help Mr Biden's cause, considering how long it took to happen (over 4 months) - particularly as most, if not all, those arrested have been held in custody and denied bail since their arrests:
Christopher Kelly of New York is the first among more than 450 people charged in the Capitol attack to have the Justice Department withdraw the case.
Mr. Kelly, who was arrested two weeks after the riot, was charged with unlawful entry, obstruction of an official proceeding, and other offenses.

But...What possible reason could there be to drop the charges against him?

Putin would have had Russians acting like the Jan 6th terrorists machine gunned by Spesnatz so he has nothing worth listening to to say on this topic.
Putin is relying on the old Soviet trick of responding to valid human rights criticisms with but in America they lynch blacks.
