Trump's ex-FBI official: We have 'many reasons' to think ex-president is a Russian 'asset' [View all]

Andrew McCabe appeared on the One Decision podcast co-hosted by former British intelligence agency chief Sir Richard Dearlove, who asked whether he thought it possible that Trump was a Russian asset, and he said, "I do, I do," reported The Guardian.

“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," McCabe said. "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.”

McCabe raised suspicions about Trump's attitude toward Ukraine and NATO in the face of Russian aggression and said he's had concerns about his admiration for Vladimir Putin since the ex-president fired him in March 2018, two days before he was due to retire, during the FBI's investigation of Kremlin interference in the 2016 election.

“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," McCabe said.

“Their desire to kind of wreak havoc or mischief in our political system is something that’s been going on for years, decades and decades and decades," McCabe said. “Their interest in just simply sowing chaos and division and polarization. If they can do that, it’s a win. If they can actually hurt a candidate they don’t like, or help one that they do like, that’s an even bigger win.”

Gee is anybody on DU surprised by this? And I read another article that some in the
FBI have suspicions that Trump might be using Viktor Orbán as a go between between
him and Putin. Btw in 2016 before the election the FBI was well aware of the connections
between the computer server @ Putin’s Alfa bank and a Trump campaign’s computer
server in Lititiz, PA and that the Russians had hacked into some states’ voter d-bases.



But James Comey and the FBI brought up the discredited HRC and her emails story
instead.

Do you have any doubts that Russia is trying to hack the 2024 elections?

The mother fucker is a traitor and should be in prison right now. I look for him to flee
the country after the election.
