QOTD: Russia's "Manchurian Candidate"



Former FBI official counterintelligence Peter Strzok, who has been attacked relentlessly and falsely by con man and Russian asset Donald "Tovarich" Trump, has a new book, "Compromised," in which he explains the compelling reasons that the FBI launched a counterintelligence investigation into Trump's unusual affection for the Russian Federation. An excerpt:
"We certainly had evidence that this was the case: that Trump, while gleefully wreaking havoc on America’s political institutions and norms, was pulling his punches when it came to our historic adversary, Russia. Given what we knew or had cause to suspect about Trump’s compromising behavior in the weeks, months, and years leading up to the election, moreover, it also seemed conceivable, if unlikely, that Moscow had indeed pulled off the most stunning intelligence achievement in human history: secretly controlling the president of the United States — a Manchurian candidate elected.”  (our emphasis)
Trump's latest abomination involving Russia is his refusal to hold Russia to account for placing bounties on the heads of American soldiers fighting in Afghanistan. In every way, from Trump's undermining of NATO, to his betrayal of our Kurdish allies in Syria to give Russia full sway there, to his obsession with bringing Russia back in to the G-8, as Speaker Nancy Pelosi has said, "all roads lead to Putin" for Trump.
