NY Mag writer: Trump may have been a Russian asset all along
What if Donald Trump has been a Russian asset this whole time? That was the question Taegan Goddard asked after reading a haunting New York Magazine piece Sunday.
“The media has treated the notion that Russia has personally compromised the president of the United States as something close to a kook theory,” New York Magazine writer Jonathan Chait.
The text comes as a score of Democrats and some Republicans have tried to caution that the United States has been compromised not only in terms of the election but also the U.S. power grid as well as other critical infrastructure. The security of the nation, however, has fallen by the wayside as the GOP has been able to score legislative and judicial victories they feared they’d lost.
“A minority of analysts, mostly but not exclusively on the right, have promoted aggressively exculpatory interpretations of the known facts, in which every suspicious piece of evidence turns out to have a surprisingly innocent explanation,” Chait continued. “And it is possible, though unlikely, that every trail between Trump Tower and the Kremlin extends no farther than its point of current visibility.”

You just found out Trump has been a Russian/Soviet asset from Day One?!
= new reply since forum marked as read
The only thing that would surprise me at this point would be to find out he wasn't a Russian asset all along.

so where do people think he got the funds to develop of all his "properties" for the last decade? His paycheck from "The Apprentice?" His spawn outed them all in 2007-08 with these quotes:

Traitor Tot is scared shitless of Putin because he knows that he can--and will--ruin him financially if he doesn't toe the line. And he's probably worried about being slipped a Polonium-laced diet Coke if he doesn't do everything in his power to get the sanctions lifted. Pee tape, hell. I'm sure Putin has evidence of at least a decade of money laundering for Russia through Trump Organization "properties." His allegiance has been and always will be with Russia, and not with the United States.
Bright move, boy geniuses. Well done! 
Trump owes Russian interests tons of money from real estate and project deals and lots of money most likely has been laundered. During all those years of secret dealings, it's almost a certainty they have a sizable collection of highly immoral kompromat that will put the Stormy scandal to shame. Trump is not known for maintaining careful security in his use of communications, so they surely have recorded many of his calls and probably had agents watching him for years.
So, it's not surprise he acts so "pro-Russia" since they own him completely.......
My bet is this trip to Russia is to pump up his base on how wonderful he feels Russia and Putin is, but we know it's all a ruse. He'll come home and be on Faux's big couch shows and probably hold some more rallies just for that purpose - to normalize the public's perception of Russia, our long-time adversary.
I think it was posted here elsewhere, but just in case you missed it, here's Malcolm Nance's interview with Salon that gives a professional's view of the big picture - and it's frightening as hell:

What's just as frightening as Trump's being compromised is the quantity of money and power that's behind him - political support, financial support, media support, corporate support, criminal MOB support and of course his loyal base.
"Hot 'n' cold-running Russians" LOL - let's hope we can run them off into the Pacific. We must persist and stay positive!...
this paragraph caught my attention.
Yes, McConnell knew big time.
And if you’re Putin, embarking upon a coveted summit with the most Russophilic president since World War II, who is taking a crowbar to the alliance of your enemies, why wouldn’t you help him in 2018 and 2020? Ever since the fall of 2016, when Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell privately turned down an Obama-administration proposal for a bipartisan warning to Russia not to interfere in the election, the underlying dynamic has been set: Most Republicans would rather win an election with Putin’s help than lose one without it. The Democrats, brimming with rage, threaten to investigate Russian activity if they win a chamber of Congress this November. For Putin to redouble his attack — by hacking into voting machines or some other method — would be both strategic and in keeping with his personality. Why stop now?
they should throw them all in prison.
