Donald Trump can be seen as a Russian asset, though not in the traditional sense of an active agent or a recruited resource, an ex-FBI deputy director who worked under the former US president said.
Asked on a podcast if he thought it possible Trump was a Russian asset, Andrew McCabe, who Trump fired as FBI deputy director in 2018, said: “I do, I do.”
He added: “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. 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.”
…
Speaking to One Decision, McCabe said: “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.
That conclusion is exceedingly obvious to anyone with a functional mind.
It's cowardice.
If they know for a fact he's a busted flush, they'll all come out of the woodwork gunning for him, but they're all such complete cowards that nobody will stand up if there's any chance he might be able to hit back.
Also:
It's all most comical how easily manipulated he would be.
"Oh hey DJT, old mate vlad here. I saw your bigly crowd at that thing. Now do you think you could throw Ukraine under the bus for me? That would be rad"
He refused to commit to saying who should win in Ukraine during the debate. I don't think any more need to be said.
Stalin used to use the term 'useful idiots' for Westerners who would help advance his interests. Sometimes they were sincere progressives who thought that Stalin was a trusted ally, and others were blatant opportunists.
Or as Khrushchev said, 'when the time comes to hang the West an American businessman will sell us the rope.'
What McCabe should have said, probably wanted to say and would be correct in saying was that Drumph is a "Useful Idiot" to Putin

No shit? Gee thanks corporate news. Hey can you also let us know how the 2017 Superbowl worked out? We’re all on fuckingpins and needles over here.
Trump is a Putin fanboi.
Fucboi
Weird
You know so often these things say fired but (from wikipedia):
"As part of the settlement, the government agreed to "rescind and vacate" McCabe's termination, correct its records"
But undecided voters need to think of their pocketbooks tho
