    As if it wasn’t fucking obvious to everyone and anyone that has been paying attention for the last ten years. This really isn’t “news” as much as it is another conformation from US official saying what we all already know. Still its nice to see it and i want more people to stand up ant tell us all they know!

      This is not a US official:

      Alnur Mussayev, 71, a former Kazakh intelligence chief, made the explosive claim in a Facebook post on Thursday. He claimed that he served in the 6th Directorate of the KGB in Moscow, which was responsible for counter-intelligence support within the economy. One of its key objectives, he claimed, was “recruiting businessmen from capitalist countries.”

      The allegation revives claims which Trump has denounced as “the Russia hoax,” and which dogged his first term in the White House.

      Mussayev wrote that in 1987 “our directorate recruited Donald Trump, a 40-year-old American businessman, under the pseudonym Krasnov.”
