Ed Schultz, 64, former anchor of an MSNBC show called THE ED SHOW, just died of a heart attack. THE ED SHOW was cancelled in 2015 as "part of a wave of programmatic tinkering at the network."

But, who knew he was working at RT, the Kremlin-owned network?

💥🔥🔥🔥According to this STUNNING article by Maxwell Tani of the @dailybeast, Schultz "defended Vladimir Putin" and said his previous remarks about Putin "might have been overboard."

💥This seems diametrically opposed to Ed Schultz' liberal values during his six years @ MSNBC.

🔥I'm not alone in this thinking this is suspicious.

Finding this article from the @dailybeast STUNNING!

🔥Here's an article from May of 2017 about a string of mysterious deaths of enemies of Vladimir Putin.

10/38 died of "natural causes."

💥Nikita Kamayev, a former head of the anti-doping agency, lifelong athlete and relatively young at 52 years old, died mysteriously of a heart attack in 2016.

💥Another article from @axios, Russian Diplomats Keep Dying Unexpectedly:

⚡️From the article: Note that a few deaths have been labeled "heart attacks" or "brief illnesses."

💥💥In the @axios article by Shannon Vavra posted above, 6 out of the 10 deaths highlighted involved mysterious circumstances, heart attacks or "natural causes."

🔗Here’s a link to a December 2016 @washingtonpost article that tries to explain why Ed Schultz transitions from a liberal @MSNBC anchor to an Russian Television anchor, based in Washington D.C. 👇

🔐Seems like a piece of the puzzle is missing. 🇷🇺

📣And after agreeing to another @washingtonpost interview, the reporter was intercepted by an RT representative who cancelled with no explanation.

😱And then Schultz agreed to be interviewed a second time. RT cancelled again. Same treatment to other media outlets.

🔅Another clue from columnist Brent Budowsky: Ed Schultz is “a good man in a difficult spot.”

💰Peddling propaganda gave him enough money to buy Arnold Palmer’s old jet.

⁉️Call me naive but I had no idea that RT (Russian Television) had studios in Washington D.C. since 2010!

‼️RT has broad internet distribution, some cable channels and claimed in 2016 to have 8 million U.S. viewers a week!

📺RT used to be called Russia Today.

🔬I never understood why it didn’t seem to be a big deal when Sarah Sanders started getting her hair done by a former employee of Russia Today!

⁉️Schultz showed up at CPAC in February 2017 and couldn’t understand why people thought it was confusing to people.

📣Schultz criticized the House and Senate investigations into Russian meddling in the 2016 election and said Dianne Feinstein “should be ashamed of her ignorance.”

🤪And the RT station is carried by Spectrum, which is just Time Warner Cable rebranded.
