US spies say Trump's G7 performance suggests he's either a 'Russian asset' or a 'useful idiot' for Putin

At the summit, Trump aggressively lobbied for Russia to be readmitted into the G7, refused to hold it accountable for violating international law, blamed former President Barack Obama for Russia's annexation of Crimea, and expressed sympathy for Russian President Vladimir Putin.

A former CIA operative told Insider the evidence is "overwhelming" that Trump is a Russian agent, but another CIA and NSA veteran said it was more likely Trump was currying favor with Putin for future business deals.

Meanwhile, a recently retired FBI special agent told Insider that Trump's freewheeling and often unfounded statements make it more likely that he's a "useful idiot" for the Russians. But "it would not surprise me in the least if the Russians had at least one asset in Trump's inner circle."
 

It will be fine

I can’t imagine why people are interested in Trump’s finances. I’m sure there’s nothing in his dealings with the bank constantly cited for laundering Russian mob money. It’s all on the up and up, that’s why he’s so intent on hiding the records.

Where were Obama's academic records again?

It's really not that complicated.

There's no reason for him to hide all his tax and financial records if there wasn't something seriously bad for him in there.

That’s a reasonable comparison. A Harvard law professor’s undergrad records compared to potential financial ties to a foreign adversary. Jesus Christ.
A lot of people would have liked to have seen Obama's school papers to gauge where he stood politically. Trump's financial ties to foreign adversaries on the other hand is a concocted narrative by political enemies. What they really wanted was to find anything that might embarrass Trump.

Then he should release his financial records and put an end to the speculation. Unless he is hiding something embarrassing.....

Exactly.
It would be very embarrassing if it came out that he has ties to foreign oligarchs that might put his true motivations in question.

Sure, Jan. First, there’s no chance you would actually read any academic papers. Second, he could have written Atlas Shrugged and you would have still called him a socialist. Obama had been in government, that’s a good place to start on where he stood politically.

Embarrassing is not the word I would use. Trump is constantly an embarrassment. The question is why does he do everything Putin wants him to do?
