He accepts the fact that this particular case was entities in Russia, so that's not the issue

 

I didn't see anything saying Putin or the Russian government was responsible, only that "entities" did it. That could literally be anything, and it honestly just seems like an attempt to leave the door open just in case they actually did it.

 

Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see anything where they blamed the government.
