19. We knew Trump was an ASSET before the election. Virtually no

Russian experts doubted that by the time he was sworn in, and certainly none could now.

"Agent," though, is like Natalia Veselnitskaya, employed, gets assignments, performs, gets paid.

So, what on earth is Russian state TV doing calling Trump an agent? Do they mean it? Russia saved Trump from bankruptcy in the late '80s-90s and has arranged funding ever since. Is that the "gets paid"? And only a trumpster could believe Russia couldn't have blackmailed, and apparently wooed, a man with decades of criminal history into obedience long ago.

Or are they just using that word to try to sow more mischief and chaos?
