FBI official won't say that President Trump is not a Russian agent
A first for an American president.
Donald Trump's unprecedented actions as president are stacking up daily, but this is a truly new one: A top FBI official will not say whether the president is an "unwitting agent" who aided Russia during the 2016 presidential campaign.
Bill Priestap, the assistant director of the FBI's counterintelligence division, testified before the Senate Intelligence Committee yesterday. He said that Russia employed a multifaceted approach intended to undermine confidence in our democratic process, including efforts to discredit Hillary Clinton and help elect Trump.
Did Donald Trump become an unwitting agent of the Russians? asked Sen. Martin Heinrich, D-N.M.
After a long pause, Priestap said, I cant really comment on that."

If they have not used him it would only be because they have not found a good use for him.

(16,420 posts)5. I just reread your first reply.
Trying to do two things at a time doesn't make for great reading comprehension. Sorry about that.
