Russian Agent in the Oval Office?

 

Pretty hard to believe, given the decades of anti-Soviet, Red-Scare crap that came out of the US, but the question is being asked, and recent comments from the main characters aren't very reassuring.

This all goes back quite a few years, close to 40, to be exact.  For example, The Guardian had this story, written in 2021.

'The perfect target": Russia cultivated Trump as an asset for 40 years - ex-KGB spy

During tЯump's first term as President, there was this exchange (Trump sides with Russia against FBI at Helsinki summit) 

"At a news conference after the summit, President tЯump was asked if he believed his own intelligence agencies or the Russian president when it came to the allegations of meddling in the elections.

"President Putin says it's not Russia. I don't see any reason why it would be," he replied.

US intelligence agencies concluded in 2016 that Russia was behind an effort to tip the scale of the US election against Hillary Clinton, with a state-authorised campaign of cyber attacks and fake news stories planted on social media."

tЯump has also parroted Russian nonsense about the war, claiming that Ukraine started it.

Even more recently (basically yesterday, in the United Nations) the US sided with Russia on two different resolutions.

So the question has to be asked.... is there a Russian Agent in the Oval Office?

More to come, I'm sure.
