Business Insider: US spies say Trump's G7 performance suggests he's either a 'Russian asset' or a 'useful idiot' for Putin
* Current and former spies are floored by President Donald Trump's fervent defense of Russia at this year's G7 summit in Biarritz, France.
* "It's hard to see the bar anymore since it's been pushed so far down the last few years, but President Trump's behavior over the weekend was a new low," one FBI agent who works in counterintelligence told Insider.
* 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.
* One former senior Justice Department official, who worked closely with the former special counsel Robert Mueller when he was the FBI director, told Insider Trump's behavior was "directly out of the Putin playbook. We have a Russian asset sitting in the Oval Office."
* 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's hard to see the bar anymore since it's been pushed so far down the last few years, but President Trump's behavior over the weekend was a new low."
That was the assessment an FBI agent who works in counterintelligence gave Insider of President Donald Trump's performance at this year's G7 summit in Biarritz, France. The agent requested anonymity because they feared that speaking publicly on the matter would jeopardize their job.
Trump's attendance at the G7 summit was peppered with controversy, but none was more notable than his fervent defense of Russia's military and cyber aggression around the world, and its violation of international law in Ukraine.

WNU Editor: Here we go again. Russian collusion. Russian collusion. Russian collusion. And talk about timing. All of this coming out on the day when the Inspector General releases a report that the former FBI Director essentially weaponized the FBI to pursue his political agenda. Including pushing this Russian narrative.

Other current and former spies are no doubt saying (or would like to say) how nice it is to not have to work for Globalism, Inc. anymore (aka Obama and Hillary).
Lol such nonsense
- 200 Russian troops wiped out who tried to storm US Base in what was the largest post cold war confrontation
- armed Ukraine
- added space force just yesterday!
- increased military spending
- strengthened NATO and was accredited for the 100bn spending increase
- sold f35s to Japan which has become a vital partner for US
- addresses China and north Korea - something Obama painfully failed at. Don't forget that Obama's inactions brought us the militarisation and artificial islands in the south china sea
- grew the economy by several trillion
Yeah right. .what a terrible performance. Then by the same logic all our spies are Russian assets because THEY brought us 9/11..wtf
9/11? are you fully nuts?
Trump meets with Putin> no one allowed to know what said
Trump has never said a bad word about Putin/Russia
Trump has not wanted sanctions against Russia
Trump denies our intel and cites Putin for "truth"
Trump stopped China in island building?
Trump allowed Russia to gain hold in Iran and in Vemnezuela and in Cuba
Iran building nukes
N.Korea building nukes
It's a negotiating issue.
Spies blast Trump actions at G7 summit, call him 'Russian asset' - Business Insider
Panting!
Panting!
Given the general lack of competence of US (un) intelligence, I would tend not to put much credibility in what they say. While we cannot "know" what is going on without inside information that is in real time, based upon the track records I would tend to put more credence in the judgment of Trump and his team than I would put in our spies.
