Donald Trump a de facto Russian asset, FBI official he fired suggests
The Guardian ^ | September 12, 2024 | Martin Pengelly

Donald Trump can be seen as a Russian asset, though not in the traditional sense of an active agent or a recruited resource, an ex-FBI deputy director who worked under the former US president said.

Asked on a podcast if he thought it possible Trump was a Russian asset, Andrew McCabe, who Trump fired as FBI deputy director in 2018, said: “I do, I do.”

He added: “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. 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.”

Kamala won the debate... But they need to bring out McCabe with his phony Russia meanderings... Just in case. The desperation is palatable.

Ex FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe is an actual Chinese Communist and WEF paid operative.

Exactly, the only Russian asset was Hitlery and her failed campaign.

Why hasn’t this traitor been hanged in public in DC, yet? Because those who have the authority to indict and try him are themselves traitors.

“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.””

Treasonous piece of shit. The FBI thinks it sits in an oversight position of the president, and his policies must meet their approval? They better wake up and realize the people are having significant questions about them. And we outnumber them about a million to one.

There once was a time that the Stasi, Gestapo and SS never dreamed that normal people would be looking through their records. But they did. And it’ll happen to the amateurs at the FBI too. They should remember that.

Trump should chalkenge him to a dual, with box cutters. I mean like in person.

How’s that Andy? Putin endorsed Kamala Harris.

“de facto Moscow agent McCabe tells all”

And he made these remarks on a podcast hosted by the former leader on MI-6. A damned Brit. It’s a remarkable disconnect.
