“Ukrainian rebels may have tampered with the crash site of the Malaysian airliner MH17, it has been alleged, with black boxes removed from the crash site and sent to Moscow, and the leader of the separatists pictured at the scene.
It comes as Ukraine’s security services released three intercepted phone calls purportedly involving rebel fighters, where they appear to admit downing the jet.
The self-proclaimed “Prime Minister” of the pro-Russian separatist militant group “Donetsk People’s Republic” Alexander Borodai, arrived near the town of Shaktarsk where the downed plane carrying 298 people from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur crashed. He came surrounded by camouflage-wearing bodyguards, holding rifles.”* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur, Ben Mankiewicz (Turner Classic Movies), Michael Shure, and John Iadarola (TYT University) break it down.

Guys,
I’m a native Russian speaker. I realize that’s not the end all and be all but the tape sounds totally genuine to me. He’s reporting his findings in a kind of frank military tone typical or Russian armed forces, just an honest assessment of what he sees. The guys in the beginning are still holding out hope that it’s not a civilian plane and their tone changes once it’s confirmed.
The media questions here are typical and full of attempts at blaming the US for SOMETHING. The “reporter” with the black hair and the woman have questions that make them sound very naive and ignorant as well.
