 <\/p>\n

You\u2019re darn right Donald Trump is a Russian spy<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

On the weekend of January 11-13 we learned that the FBI opened a counterintelligence investigation into Donald Trump a year and a half ago. This is different from collusion, or any other term that\u2019s entered the equation up to this point. Counterintelligence is treason stuff. It\u2019s spy stuff. This isn\u2019t about Trump working with the Kremlin; it\u2019s about Trump working\u00a0for<\/em>\u00a0the Kremlin, and being a part of the Kremlin. It\u2019s time we change our terminology.<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s no longer accurate to merely refer to Donald Trump as a Russian asset. The word \u201casset\u201d refers to anyone who has been targeted by a foreign government to do its bidding, sometimes with the kind of subterfuge involved that prevents the target from even knowing he\u2019s doing the foreign government\u2019s bidding. That does not at all describe the relationship between Donald Trump and the Kremlin.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

\nThis is a guy who publicly asked the Kremlin to illegally hack Hillary Clinton\u2019s emails, who publicly trashed the United States while standing next to Putin, and who met with the Russians in the White House to celebrate the firing of James Comey. These are just the things Trump has been comfortable doing in\u00a0public<\/em>. That\u2019s before getting to the Russian spy stuff he\u2019s done that\u2019s been so severe, he\u2019s felt compelled to do it in private.<\/h4>\n

\nJust because Donald Trump has done some of his Russian spy stuff out in the open, it doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019s not a spy. Maria Butina\u2019s Russian spy craft included taking selfies with the American politicians she was attempting to turn, and then posting them on social media for all to see. So yeah, some spy work is done in plain sight. We all agree that Butina is a Russian spy; in fact she pleaded guilty to it. Trump\u2019s instructions to take over the GOP on behalf of the Kremlin are really no different.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

The strangest argument out there right now is that Donald Trump is too incompetent and too stupid to be acting as a spy for the Russians. This seems to be based on the popular notion that people are only recruited to be spies if they\u2019re smart and good at it. But we\u2019ve seen it doesn\u2019t work that way. This is the same Kremlin that tried to recruit an idiot like Carter Page.<\/h4>\n

\nSo yeah, it\u2019s time to start referring to Donald Trump as a Russian spy, because that\u2019s what he is. You can call him an alleged Russian spy if you want to give him the benefit of the doubt, but that\u2019s not necessary, because he\u2019s already publicly confessed to being a Russian spy on more than one occasion. So let\u2019s stop fighting the terminology, and call it like it is: there\u2019s a Russian spy in the Oval Office. And soon he\u2019ll go to prison for it.<\/h4>\n
