"We have a Russian asset sitting in the Oval Office. There is no fathomable explanation for why the president said these things. Letting Russia off the hook for bullying smaller countries and then blaming Obama for it? It's directly out of the Putin playbook." former senior Justice Department official
No question that Trump is behaving like a spy for the Russians. The evidence is so overwhelming that in my 35 years in intelligence, I have never seen anything so certain." Glenn Carle, former CIA covert operative
"I think what's going on right now is an Occam's razor scenario. Trump wants to do deals with Russia when he leaves the presidency. We already know he was interested in building a Trump Tower in Moscow before and during the election. The best way of doing a deal with Putin is to be nice to him, so I think what Trump is doing is currying favor." Robert Deitz, former lawyer at the CIA and the National Security Agency

.... Ryan and McConnell were well aware of what Russia was doing and said nothing. As per DU
knowing about Trump and Russia I was all over it when right after Trump moved into the White
House he invited in Lavrov and Kislyak into the Oval Office and gave 'em top secret intel.
