      The Steele Dossier said as much and that was what, 5 or 6 years ago?

      Trump is well known to have been a Russian asset going as far back as 1987:

      —————— There are a lot of other key things not mentioned anywhere since this story keeps getting buried. Ivana’s father was a known informer for Czech intelligence (see: basically a subsidiary of the KGB).

      Even moreso when you look at a brief timeline of events:

      • 1977: Trump marries Ivana; KGB file allegedly opened on Trump. • Autum 1986: Trump meets Yuri Dubinin; referred to KGB state travel agency. Source: The Art of the Deal • July 4, 1987: Trump visits Moscow and meets with Soviet leader Gorbachev. Trip paid for and organized by KGB travel agency. Stays in hotel physically connected to KGB travel agency (i.e., every part of that hotel was likely bugged). Alleged time of recruitment by KGB. Source. • July 1987: Trump registers as a Republican • September 1987: Trump’s first indication of interest in the Presidency via 3 full-page ads in the NY Times, Washington Post, and Boston Globe with language such as “America should stop paying to defend countries that can afford to defend themselves.” • December 1987: Trump and Gorbachev meet at a State Dinner at the White House • 1988: Gorbachev planned to meet Trump at Trump Tower. • February 1989: FBI Counterintelligence opens investigation into Trump and Ivana. This goes on for at least 2 years.

      Everything above, besides the “allegedly” part, is fact with direct evidence. One final, more conspiracy theory-oriented thing: Ivana died from falling down stairs the day before the Trumps were to give depositions. They said she had “declining health” in the weeks prior, except she had gone out to a restaurant the day prior. The restaurant owner stated she appeared of normal health like anyone else. There’s a ton more stuff I’ve been putting together, but that’s the easy stuff that anyone can verify in 5 minutes or less. It’d be quite nice if there was some actual investigative journalist to put this together rather than just some random guy on Reddit (see: myself). Edit: Added sources, Gorbachev’s 1988 visit to Trump Tower, and Dec. 1987 meeting.

      Source was on reddit, by kaptainkeel, he posted references to all the bullet points.

      If they’re saying it out loud they’re certain and they consider it expedient to make it common knowledge.
