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.
I’m sorry, I have trouble believing anyone would hire that retard for any kind of intelligence work.
What if he spent years desperately calling Putin and finally Putin picked up. Trump literally begging to be included.
You hire all kinds of retards for that work because anyone with enough sense isn’t going to be retarded enough to do your dirty work…
It’s like, why hire a professional hitman when you can give a crackhead fifty bucks and a burner gun?
I mean he’s probably pretty easy to manipulate if you are powerful and can make him feel important
Yeah, but he likes to tell everyone…well, everything.
True. But I’m sure someone good at manipulation could get him to do shit without him being fully aware of who he’s working for
