“I don’t know that I would characterize it as [an] active, recruited, knowing asset in the way that people in the intelligence community think of that term," McCabe said. "But I do think that Donald Trump has given us many reasons to question his approach to the Russia problem in the United States, and I think his approach to interacting with Vladimir Putin, be it phone calls, face-to-face meetings, the things that he has said in public about Putin, all raise significant questions.”
“You have to have some very serious questions about, why is it that Donald Trump … has this fawning sort of admiration for Vladimir Putin in a way that no other American president, Republican or Democrat, ever has"
He is obviously not a recruited asset, but I think it’s fair to say he is so dense, dumb, self-unaware and transparently susceptible to simple flattery that he is almost having the same impact as one in practice.
Useful idiot is a recognized term…
I don’t know why he came just short of using it.
I think it’s that thing (actually professional) law enforcement does where if they can’t prove it they just talk around it and just imply it.
But I’m just not used to seeing law enforcement act professionally these days.
The feeling I got from reading the article was that he wasn’t a normal recruited asset but he also wasn’t a mere “useful idiot” but something else. Maybe something in-between the two.
I don’t think so. The dude went to Russia in the '80s and then the first thing he did after he got back was take out a big full page ad calling for the execution of the Central Park 5.
You mean to tell me that KGB did not tell him how to divide Americans and promise him something in exchange?
All the real estate Russians have bought from Trump and the massive loans, by itself, compromises his ability to be neutral on matters of national security. That makes him an asset to our enemy.
I don’t know, with his fragile ego and perpensity for doing stuff like “grabbing em by the pussy” and “changing room sexual assault” I’m confident that a country like Russia, that had some time to spend to get dirt on the guy has a nice file.
With the comment he made about shooting someone on 5th avenue, I would not be surprised if he has actually killed or ordered the murder of someone and they have it on tape.
So not a direct asset… I’m not sure.
He is obviously not a recruited asset
Why do you say that? Has ever taken any kind of illicit help from Russia? Who did Don Jr. and Manafort call in the middle of their meeting with a Russian agent, where they agreed to accept Russia’s help?
Oh wow, ya think? What a revelation
Tl;Dr
Trump,
s ex-FBI official: We have ‘many reasons’ to think,ex-president, is a Russian ‘asset’TLDR: FBI won’t do their job.
I seem to recall 2 or maybe 3 comments he made during the most recent debate which either directly complimented Putin or threatened the US on Putin’s behalf (one had to do with Russian nukes but I don’t remember the exact quote).
The point is, the fact that he’s arguably talking up a foreign power in a US presidential debate is absolutely insane.
Right, it’s not just a foreign power, it’s that it’s an enemy. All around the world Russia is literally attacking our allies. They attacked us by interfering in the 2016 election.
To go in front of the nation and bend the knee to an enemy who has attacked us and who is attacking our allies around the world should be immediately disqualifying.
Our alliances are what make us the world’s only superpower.
Too bad we have a conservative at the helm of the DOJ. It makes me wonder if he too is a Russian asset.
President Biden’s biggest mistake, by far, was appointing a conservative as head of the DOJ. If a normal person had been appointed instead, congress would not have needed to publicly shame the DOJ for 2.5 years before Trump was investigated for his extremely obvious crimes.
You don’t need to be an FBI agent to know that this is a fact.
No shirt shitlock
No puppet, no puppet, you’re the puppet!
<snif>
Whoa hold the fucking phone here - are you seriously telling me the guy running around town in the “I’m a Russian Asset” shirt might be a Russian asset???
The fucking fuzz with late breaking news ladies and gentlemen!
Police: points at conservative “We have ample evidence to support the theory that he’s been doing all of the crimes. All of them. Every last one in the book. Just crime after crime, every day, their entire adult lives.”
Civilian Bystander: “Wow, officer. That’s crazy. Do you plan on arresting him?”
Police: “No, and you’re under arrest for asking stupid questions. Now, where’s your dog so I can shoot it?”
Two wives given to him.
i used to think so, but now i realize its more likely that Putin is Trump’s Tyler Durden.
I don’t think so. I think Trump is Jack’s inflamed colon.
