Hmmm...on the "plausible" side is the clear fact that even the most true-believing, rabid Soviet asset could not have caused more damage to the USA or been a bigger suck up to Putin. On the other side...it's just doesn't seem that plausible. Trump simply doesn't DO others' bidding. His goldfish brain couldn't stick with a anything for very long, much less a decades-long conspiracy. It's certainly likely he was involved w KGB without being aware, and likely that they used him for money laundering, but nothing like "Now, Danila, we need you to do X and say Y." He's too much of a loose cannon for any good agent handler to get too connected with.

Have you ever looked at Trump's old talk show interviews and such from the 1980s and 90s? He was a totally different person back then with a broad vocabulary and able to speak coherently in complete sentences. Not the bumbling gangster wanna be with the 4th grade speech patterns who can't keep his mouth shut he is today. He did not used to be a "loose cannon". But even as he is today, if you carefully set up the environment that you want that loose cannon to roll around in, you can still get it to destroy what you want it to. No doubt Russia got several good decades out of him as a controlled asset earlier on and now they just fling him down the alley like a bowling ball toward the pins they want him to knock over with the knowledge that he will hit some and not others and they take what they can get with him.

The FACT that is absolutely indisputable is that Putin could not ask for a better ‘friend’ in the WH. To explain this by personal affinity alone seems really far-fetched. Look not at what Trump says but at what he does; it has Krasnov stamped all over it.

Except that he is ultra receptive to praise whether true, close to true, or not at all!

He gave information willingly, did not wait to be asked, according to the Facebook post. He was making money off them. Highly plausible report. Need more info.

He’s not an AGENT; he’s an ASSET. There’s a distinct difference

Clinton was out because of a little hanky panky. Trump is re-elected after J6, 34 felony convictions, adjudicated rape conviction, fraud and fake university and more, he’s still making our lives miserable.

Also check out Craig Ungers book House of Trump, House of Putin as well as the writings of Michael Sellers, a former CIA officer in Moscow during the 80s, who has been writing about this on SubStack.

I’ve been beating this drum for years: we’ve been in WW3 since 2014; just the shape of the war was different so we didn’t see it. P has played a very long game.
