MSNBC’s Nance: Trump Went from ‘Useful Idiot’ to ‘Witting Asset’ of Russia

EXCERPT:

NANCE: "No, he’s not an agent of the Russian government. Because that's an actual technical term that's used in the intelligence community. I believe that he started out as a useful idiot, a person who had alignment with their philosophy, but was doing it for his own purposes. Then he became an unwitting asset, which is a person who is working with them but doesn’t understand that the strings are on him. But I’ll tell you, July 27th, 2016, when he said, 'Russia, if you’re listening and you want to release Hillary Clinton’s 30,000 e-mails,' he became known, and what we say in the community, as a witting asset. He knew people were working to benefit him and he has been working with them because they are now part of his base. He will never betray Vladimir Putin. He will never betray Russia."
