> a Russian KGB asset who has been compromised and being blackmailed

I miss the days when only half the country was consumed with insane conspiracy theories.

the conspiracy goes back to the 1980s, with corroborated witnesses from both American and Russian elements.

The watergate journalist wrote a book on him. The guy who prosecuted watergate is looking at finances, money laundering specifically.

I'm not saying this is a 100% thing but it's a more of a case of 99.99999% that current president has been laundering money for the Russian mob since Taj Mahal days. We also see a curious case of a man who was so broke no bank in the world would give him relief....except Russian banks....controlled by the Russian _____ .

I will leave that as a blank for you to complete as an easy exercise.

That was obviously tongue in cheek. But if you still don't think there is a very clear and almost assuredly illegal connection between Trump and Russia I struggle to believe you're exposing yourself to a variety of media sources or following the Mueller investigation at all. The mere fact he refused to enact bilateral sanctions was enough cause for serious concern.
