Intel Expert: 'I Believe Trump...Is Actively Betraying Our Country'

Intelligence expert and former Fox News pundit Lt. Col. Ralph Peters:

After expressing his outrage about Trump "slobbering over Putin" and worrying over the damage done behind closed doors, Peters launched into his informed reasoning behind why he thinks Trump is compromised.

"I believe that Trump is subject to blackmail, certainly financially," Peters said. "Here's a guy with four bankruptcies and a lot of murky business behind him. And that would have been the initial thing that attracted the Russians."

Snip.....

He noted that the Russians didn't actively support Trump until he won the nomination because they never thought he'd win the primaries. Peters emphasized the finances again.

"I believe they've got financial grips on Trump, a list of things he did, but also the Russians always try to get you two ways if they can," he explained.

"Donald Trump was in Moscow. We know there were murmurings about prostitutes. But from what you know of Donald Trump's character, can you believe that at midnight two stunningly gorgeous Russian hookers showed up to his door and said we got a gift from your friend, that Donald Trump would have said, 'Young ladies, go home to your mothers and I shall pray for you?'"

"I mean, this is a man who is a perfect target for Russian intelligence. He has a sense of sexual entitlement. No self-restraint whatsoever. And he's got those tangled financial dealings," he reminded.
