FBI Horrified As Spy Says Russia Has Been Supporting And Cultivating Trump For Years

A "veteran" spy is alleging that Russia is cultivating, supporting and assisting Donald Trump and has been for at least five years. The spy said the response from the FBI was "shock and horror."

Eichenwald pointed out something vital and that is that the Russians have been hacking into American emails and then falsifying them in hopes of impacting the presidential election, “The Russians have been obtaining American emails and now are presenting complete misrepresentations of them—falsifying them—in hopes of setting off a cascade of events that might change the outcome of the presidential election. The big question, of course, is why are the Russians working so hard to damage Clinton and, in the process, aid Donald Trump?”

The answer to why Putin is trying so hard to defeat Clinton might be in multiple reports that he fears her. Unlike Donald Trump, Hillary Clinton is no pushover. According to former U.S. officials, Putin sees Clinton as a “forceful proponent of ‘regime change’ policies that the Russian leader considers a grave threat to his own survival.”

better word than scandal though.

Hopefully someone will think it's important enough to sacrifice their career to save the country from this scourge.

The "Manchurian Candidate" in popular culture is always presumed to be a left leaning candidate. But really, when you look at all the popularly elected dictators, they are extremely right wing and look to that side for support to get elected.

Putin wants Trump to win and I don't think it matters who he's running against. IMO Trump is part of a sinister plan to bring down the US.
