    Yeah, I don’t put any trust in this news for two reasons.

    First, it could just be bullshit. It doesn’t seem verifiable.

    Second, it’s exactly what Russia would do. They want to sow division.

    However, I still believe he’s a Russian agent, or something just as useful, because of the way he acts. I don’t need further evidence than that. He couldn’t act more like a Russian agent if he tried.

      But that is the tragedy of the situation. There are so many awful things Trump does with incontrovertible evidence, but they are drowned out in conjectures, hyperboles and outright lies.
