Trump's former spy chief has 'deep suspicions' that Putin has blackmail on Trump, according to Bob Woodward's new book

Dan Coats, the top intelligence official under President Donald Trump from January 2017 to July 2019, harbored a "secret belief" that Russian President Vladimir Putin had kompromat on Trump, the veteran journalist Bob Woodward wrote in his book, "Rage."

The book is set to be released next Tuesday, but CNN obtained an early copy and published excerpts this week.

According to CNN, Woodward wrote that Coats "continued to harbor the secret belief, one that had grown rather than lessened, although unsupported by intelligence proof, that Putin had something on Trump."

"How else to explain the president's behavior?" Woodward wrote. "Coats could see no other explanation."

Coats and senior staffers in his office "examined the intelligence as carefully as possible," Woodward wrote. But Coats was still uneasy about Trump and Putin's relationship.

4. No kidding, Lisa!

2. duh

no one is surprised

5. Yep

All of us on here feel exactly the same way. My guess,
amongst other things, is that Trump was involved in money laundering all the money that the oligarchs stole from the Russian people when the Russians threw out the communists.

14. AND that's why they haven't cashed in his overdue debt. /nt

6. Something is up, that's for sure.

7. I believe most Republicans thought similarly right after General Flynn was caught.

They believed that Trump had "something" going on with the Russians, but they did not know what?

They changed over the last three years. They may still believe it but they don't express it.

8. My bet is that he damn well KNOWS it or he wouldn't say it (nt)

15. this

9. Trump is wholly owned by Putin.

[Buckeyeblue]

11. Given that his base doesn't care, why wouldn't Trump throw it out there

He could be free of Putin. He might even be able to claim that whatever Putin has on him is fake.

13. That's for Woodward's next book.

12. What could it possibly be?

His idiot supporters will apparently not abandon him for any reason. Their reasons.....?
He was with hookers in Moscow doing all kinds of kinky stuff? So what. Locker-room talk, remember? Boys will be boys.
Dirty money? The guy's a financial genius, besides we got conservative ideologues judges everywhere now!
He's a Russian agent? So what's so bad about having Russia as our ally? Isn't this a good thing?

I don't know what the fuc what ever happpened to this country, but this is the country we live in now. Walking f^$#* zombies among us.

16. I'm thinking it's underage girls - pedo stuff

Otherwise Chump would laugh off just about anything else.
