“When he was unmasked as the unnamed “overseas professor” cited in the documents filed in October by Trump–Russia special counsel Robert Mueller, Mifsud led a three-year degree course in political science and international relations, according to a bio then on the website of the Link Campus University in Rome. The Maltese academic was also listed as an overseas professor on the LCU’s faculty pages, archived versions of the website show.

The bio now leads to a 404 error page, while Mifsud’s name no longer appears on the LCU’s faculty pages….

Also now missing from the LCU faculty pages is Nagi Idris, director of the London Centre of International Law Practice, an organization with which both Mifsud and Papadopoulos claimed to have been affiliated in the past. Idris was previously listed as an overseas professor on the faculty pages, according to archived versions of the website. And in an online bio he describes himself as a visiting professor at the university.”

Link University is a small, for-profit university that was associated with the U. of Malta and split off. It offers something like 6 degrees.

But he is still a player and one of the connecting dots

At this point I trust no one and believe all are suspect until proven otherwise.

More of Kremlin's Opponents are Ending Up Dead.

Muckraking journalists, rights advocates, opposition politicians, government whistle-blowers and other Russians who threaten that image are treated harshly — imprisoned on trumped-up charges, smeared in the news media and, with increasing frequency, killed.

Political murders, particularly those accomplished with poisons, are nothing new in Russia, going back five centuries. Nor are they particularly subtle. While typically not traceable to any individuals and plausibly denied by government officials, poisonings leave little doubt of the state’s involvement — which may be precisely the point.

Anyone who could compromise the Kremlin or who doesn't totally permit it control, can be poisoned. And it happens.

BTW, the 2nd season of Fargo story line was how borrowing money from "Russians" gave the mob control of your business, they used it for money laundering but kept the owner on as the "Front Man", would not let the owner pay back the debt, and eventually they killed everyone who tried to stop them (including the owner). It was pretty scary and probably quite real.
I think this is the Trump situation. He owes them money, they control him, if he doesn't permit them to do what they want, they will kill him (probably by poison).

I imagine he's scared about that.

IF the ruskies (putin) REALLY, REALLY wanted to get the big, fat, tReasonous orange turd that they laugh @ and call their useful idiot, they could. And, it wouldn't have anything to do with Big Macs, Fries, Fish sandwiches or the shakes that the hog scarfs down at an alarming rate.

and appreciate your (and others) efforts to keep us informed.

They may very well become 45's "Nixon tapes." and we know what happened with those.....

most definitely dead...or not?
