Malcolm Nance was just on MSNBC describing intel terms of degrees of complicity. [View all]

First there are useful idiots whose own interests align with a foreign power's.

Then there are fellow travelers whose ideological interests align with the foreign power's.

There are also unwitting assets who are aware other forces may be affected by their complicity but don't care.

Witting assets are next on the hierarchy and they are well aware of who is pulling the strings and accept it.

And finally there are agents who have a contract working with a foreign power as a spy.

Nance describes trump as a whole-owned subsidiary of Russia, working with them to do the bidding of Putin because of his debt. Putin is also described as a well trained, known, spymaster who turns people into traitors.

Check the box on the poll of which of the above describes trump.
