Max Boot, conservative commentator listing a few reasons why Trump looks suspiciously like a Russian asset:
Quote:Among the reasons Boot cites: $109 billion in all-cash purchases of Trump real estate properties by people in the former Soviet Union; Trump’s alleged attempts to build in Moscow during the campaign; Trump’s urging of Russians to hack Hillary Clinton’s e-mails on the campaign trail on the same day that Russia-linked hackers tried to do exactly that; dozens of contacts between the campaign and Russian operatives including the infamous Trump Tower meeting; his campaign manager Paul Manafort sharing poll data with a Russian intelligence operative while in debt to a Russian oligarch; his adviser Roger Stone’s alleged advance noticeof the Russia-linked WikiLeaks dump of the Podesta emails; Trump bragging to the Russian ambassador about how the Comey firing took pressure off of him in the Russia investigation; Trump’s refusal to consistently acknowledge Russian interference in the election and attacks on U.S. intelligence and law enforcement officials who offer evidence they did; Trump’s praise for Russian President Vladimir Putin and the right-wing puppet dictators he supports; Trump’s attacks on institutions like the European Union and NATO that challenge Putin’s power; Trump’s total servility to Putin at the Helsinki meeting; Trump’s support for Russian military aggression both past and present; and Trump’s pro-Russia foreign policy decisions like withdrawing from Syria..Conservative columnist: if Trump isn’t a Russian agent, ‘he is doing a pretty good imitation of one’ – Alternet.org
