Oh, they knew IQ45 would fall for this hook, line, and sinker, and that Cotton was the right person to bait the hook. Putin has been playing Trump as a virtuoso plays a Stradivarius (Trump is the Stradivarius of egotistical nitwits) for decades.
Putin and Russian intelligence must laugh themselves sick over the way they can manipulate Trump into doing anything they wish. Putin groomed the rich, spoiled, playboy since the 90s, and they've known from day one how Trump's ego was the biggest, fattest target on the planet.
They could make Trump do, or say, anything they wanted, and they manipulated him right into the White House, and beyond. Trump has payed enormous dividends for their relatively small investment they made in him.
