‘The perfect target’: Russia cultivated Trump as asset for 40 years – ex-KGB spy
The KGB ‘played the game as if they were immensely impressed by his personality’, Yuri Shvets, a key source for a new book, tells the Guardian
A New Report Adds Evidence That Trump Was a Russian Asset
He helped Putin manipulate the U.S. election in 2020, as he did in 2016.
Is Trump a Russian Agent?: Explaining Terms of Art and Examining the Facts
Former member of CIA's Senior Intelligence Service writes that Donald Trump "clearly crossed a line."
www.justsecurity.org
Just pulled from the first page of googling "Trump Russian asset". Yes, it wasn't as widespread on this forum (although a quick glance of a forum search of the same term found six posters say that he was, and in both cases that's without checking for people saying "agent" or what have you in its place).
Anyway, he clearly wasn't Putin's asset nor his pawn by the sheer fact that he took an aggressive and hostile stance to Russian interests time and again. Biden so far has acted in a more conciliatory way towards Russia. And this is a good thing about Biden! Needless hostility is reckless, and a warmer relations between the two countries should be welcomed. There were those in the intelligence community who wanted to lead the world into aggression and militarism, and just as in 2003 they found a corporate media happy to play ball and demand more and more action.

Arizona State Legislature - Wikipedia

Have you forgotten all the Rachael Maddow clips that were posted on here about russia/trump collusion??
2016/2017 was insane.
Your link didn’t say that.
Arizona 'audit' becomes far-right campaign stop, fuels conspiracy that election can be overturned
Politicians have been trekking to Phoenix to visit the election "audit" in Arizona. Experts said they are perpetuating a disinformation campaign. <ol>
yes, never saw him described as an ‘asset’.
not a fan of Maddow.
Because the republicans need some bs excuse to disenfranchise the black voters of , Phoenix Atlanta , Philadelphia Pittsburgh Detriot and Milwaukee Who voted for Biden and got him up to win . This circus will move to Georgia , Pennsylvania Michigan and Wisconsin and the counties Where the cities I mentioned will be targeted . As its been mentioned before the republican states are passing laws to make it harder for minorities to vote . Some fraudit investigation that will show alleged mass fraud will be the excuse they need for those laws .
Not just Arizona: Republicans push more partisan election inquiries
"We truly are in uncharted waters," one expert said, calling the efforts more than six months after the 2020 election "unsustainable" for U.S. democracy.

No matter which way you want to spin it, the Republican controlled senate is part of the state legislature..You are wrong.

the court case was between the state legislative body and Maricopa County, as they didn’t believe the county followed the laws of the state when holding the election…
and yes the whole Russian narrative, collision/asset/pawn is fictitious nonsense..
Everything is above board. Now the brilliant talented Hunter Biden has evolved from sitting on the boards of "companies" in the Ukraine and China and is now an artist, who's works are immediately in huge demand selling to "anonymous" " buyers" at 6 figures a pop.

Its lucky for Chief that Trump didnt go after him because of what was posted on BF
If you know the background, why are you trying to argue semantics in a message board 120 characters at a time..
Nice to know the offical court case is now forth known as the republican controlled senate vs Maricopa County..
Get a grip.. and come back to reality.
The Arizona legislature clearly has the power to investigate and examine election reform matters. Accordingly, the Senators have the power to subpoena material as part of an inquiry into election reform measures," the judge said in his review.
All the offical documentation refers to ‘Arizona legislature’ in part of their review..
Maricopa County judge finds GOP Senate subpoenas of election materials are 'legal and enforceable'
The Superior Court of Maricopa County, Arizona, found that the state’s Senate Republicans’ subpoenas of election materials and equipment are “legal and enforceable.” “The Court finds that Subpoenas are legal and enforceable. There is no question that the Senators have the power to issue...

Here’s an elected Republican, writing in the conservative National Review, on Arizona’s “audit”.

I mean, you're both kinda right.
It is indeed the 'Arizona legislature', but the only reason the audit is happening in the first place is coz that legislature is GOP controlled.
Great article. Interesting that at least one reputable company applied to do the audit, was rejected, and they went with a company largely unknown in this space who didn't even formally apply. Tells you all you need to know really.
Quite a few Republicans coming out against the audit in the last month or so. All lower levels or non-elected mind you, but thats to be expected - we know what happens to anyone in the GOP looking to make an actual top level career in politics if you go against Lord Trump.
If its dodgy better check all the people elected
But the Arizona Senate didn’t feel comfortable with that conclusion and is now conducting its own audit. For an unknown reason, Maricopa County is the only county of Arizona’s 15 counties being audited, and only the top two contests on the ballot — the presidential, in which Joe Biden (D) defeated incumbent Donald Trump (R), and the Senate race, in which Mark Kelly (D) defeated incumbent Martha McSally (R) — are being audited. Down-ballot, Republicans held the state legislature and won five of the six countywide seats.
A michigan committee led by republicans have found no fraud in a county but will still push to change to make it harder for blacks to voteBecause the republicans need some bs excuse to disenfranchise the black voters of , Phoenix Atlanta , Philadelphia Pittsburgh Detriot and Milwaukee Who voted for Biden and got him up to win .
