A former senior Soviet KGB spy chief has claimed that Donald Trump was recruited as a spy by Russian intelligence as early as 38 years ago by his department, and given the codename ‘Krasnov’.

In an extraordinary post on Facebook on 20 February, Alnur Mussayev – who used to run the successor to the Soviet-era KGB in Kazakhstan – claimed that he was personally aware of Trump’s recruitment by the agency in 1987.

The recruitment, he said, was undertaken by his own KGB department. One of the key roles of that department was to acquire intelligence through business leaders in Western countries.

      Yeah… I’ll bet.

      Man… It must be so lonely and frustrating for your to have to be the one to be right about everything all the time. There’s always people constantly calling you “smug” and, “arrogant” while all you’re doing is providing a much needed service! You’re just a simple person, trying to educate them and lift the veil of their willful ignorance! Right?

      Seriously, having to face a never-ending barrage of links that people dig up within a matter of minutes, proving you wrong in their weak and fragile little minds? I can’t imagine the sheer capacity one’s brain must have to deal with, contemplate, correct, admonish, lord over, and chastise soooo many ignorant subjects in a single day.

      My hat’s off to ya.

      The lord’s work my friend….The lord’s work.
