A former senior Soviet KGB spy chief has claimed that Donald Trump was recruited as a spy by Russian intelligence as early as 38 years ago by his department, and given the codename ‘Krasnov’.

In an extraordinary post on Facebook on 20 February, Alnur Mussayev – who used to run the successor to the Soviet-era KGB in Kazakhstan – claimed that he was personally aware of Trump’s recruitment by the agency in 1987.

The recruitment, he said, was undertaken by his own KGB department. One of the key roles of that department was to acquire intelligence through business leaders in Western countries.

    “Donald Trump is a Manchurian Candidate” is the thing you get to say when you’ve run out of other things to say. Its the thin edge of the grift for BlueMAGA. We’re going to get a big earful about how anyone who disagrees with Chuck Schumer is also compromised. Everyone who doesn’t toe the line on Israel is a double-agent. Anyone who says or does anything to denigrate the Democratic Party is a Wumao or a Bot or an evil Iranian Terrorist.

    The only thing that Liberals have learned from Trumpism is that you need to lie bigger and louder and more incredulously than the last guy.

    Nobody wants to accept that these corrupt policies are coming from inside the country. Thielism has compromised as many democrats as republicans. And the Network State is going to come for us all, whether we’re waving a rainbow flag or a thin blue line one.
