over the past several months. Being entangled with Team Trump obviously didn't agree with him.

With the bannon, flynn, trump crowd.

And it's very likely that trump picked him just because of the nick name.

If reporters from WAPO, Time, and NYT's have came across evidence that Trump's staff coordinated with Russia, I can't imagine what the CIA knows, maybe one of Woolsey's buddy's filled him in.

...the intelligence community: TRUMP IS AN ACTIVE ASSET FOR RUSSIA. I believe this with every fiber of my being. I believe Putin/Russia have bankrolled his extravagant lifestyle and provided needed cash-flow to maintain the illusion of affluence. Further, I believe Putin/KGB have profoundly incriminating evidence that Trump cannot allow to be made public. It would be the end of his "empire," and could possibly lead to prison.

I believe that Donald Trump really did NOT want to be POTUS, because he knew that he has too many skeletons in his closet, and that some of them could be revealed.

TRUMP. IS. DIRTY.

TRUMP. IS. A. RUSSIAN/KGB. ASSET.

Well, whatever the reason, this post right here makes 100% crystal clear perfect sense to me, and I'll be watching as this - this abomination plays out, keeping in mind your words - thank you, Raster.

And you've hit the nail squarely on the head: This President-elect and these circumstances ARE AN ABOMINATION to the concepts of freedom and liberty. There is nothing normal about Trump. I have no doubt in my mind we are watching a slow-motion Russian/KBG coup attempt with many Republican members of Congress acting as co-conspirators. Every American should be absolutely mortified AT THE ABOMINATION taking place in front of us. I fear for this Country.
