Malcolm Nance: The Russians Compromised Trump as ‘Early as 1977’

Citing reporting by The Guardian:
Nance, former naval intel officer, said that there were indicators that Trump had been “under Russian intelligence surveillance for a very long time—as early as 1977 with his first wife, Ivana.”
Noting that Ivana was from Czechoslovakia, then part of the Eastern Bloc, Nance claimed that the country’s intelligence community at the time was monitoring her and thus gained access to Trump’s communications.

From there, the cable news pundit asserted that “Russia became very interested” in Trump during the mid-’80s as he first considered building a Trump Tower Moscow and began tossing around the idea of a presidential run.

“They had ten years of collection and then they brought him to Moscow for what he wanted, which is Trump Tower''.
“But from that moment on, an enormous dossier of information was collected on him and more importantly, how to exploit him and his simple exploit—as we call it in the intelligence community—and he is avaricious to a fault.
Trump wants money, they now own him. Modern Russia, with a former KGB director as president, they know how to exploit people, they know how to manipulate people, and they know how to buy people.”

“Putin and Russia never could have dreamed in the 1980s” that when they looked at Trump as an asset that he’d eventually be president.

According to Nance, “supervillain” Putin “took all the files of everyone he had ever flipped” during his Soviet days and “brought that into the business world when it became modern Russia,” claiming it was around 2014 they decided to move Trump from “useful idiot” to an “unwitting asset, where he’s being used and he doesn’t know it.”

“And then by 2014, it’s pretty clear that he knows it when they back Trump Tower Moscow 2.0, and then they put a set of rose-colored glasses on his face,” Nance concluded.
“Donald Trump sees the world only through Moscow’s point of view because he knows that is where an enormous quantity of money that he cannot access exists and will be made available to him.
Robert Mueller said; That Trump was well aware that he was going to benefit from Russia.”

That's like saying the Russians have been interested in me since I was born, cuz by great grandparents were born in Transylvania back in the early 1800's.

Since my great granddad worked for the Romanovs, no doubt he ate leftovers from their table while he was working on the castle roofs.

I'm sure you were trying to make a point, Temple - but I truly don't know what it is.
