I would say a witting Russian tool?!!
The former director of national intelligence said it was “a really painful thing to say.”
Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper said he agreed with former acting FBI Director Andrew McCabe’s assessment that President Donald Trump could be a Russian asset.
McCabe told CNN’s Anderson Cooper on Tuesday that the possibility of Trump being a Russian asset was why the FBI signed off on special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election and possible Trump campaign collusion.
“I completely agree with the way Andy characterized it, you know, that it is a possibility,” Clapper commented on Tuesday’s “CNN Tonight.”
“And I will add to that caveat, that whether witting or unwitting,” he told anchor Don Lemon.

‘Unwitting’ Russian asset is such a useless category.
To be an ‘unwitting’ Russian asset a person only needs be useful to Russia in some sense. And that includes an awful lot of people lol.
One could argue Mullet is a ‘Russian asset’ since the investigation has increased political discord in the country and that is one of Putin’s objectives.
It’s a long list.

Clapper always uses that term when he's lying;And I will add to that caveat, that whether witting or unwitting,” he told anchor Don Lemon.

Trump is a tool, no matter if he’s witting or unwitting.

"Throughout the campaign, Trump has been dismissive of calls for supporting the Ukraine government as it fights an ongoing Russian-led intervention. Trump’s campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, worked as a lobbyist for the Russian-backed former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych for more than a decade."

How pundits got key part of Trump-Russia story all wrong
https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/b...tory-all-wrong
much of the reporting and commentary appears to spring from a single story, published in the Washington Post on July 18, 2016, with the headline "Trump campaign guts GOP's anti-Russia stance on Ukraine." The piece reported that the Trump team "orchestrated a set of events" to change the platform in a pro-Russian direction.
Missing from all the talk is what the Republican platform actually said before it was allegedly "gutted" by Trump. What did the original draft of the platform say about Russia and Ukraine? Was it, in fact, changed? If so, how?
As it turns out, a look at the original draft of the platform — which has never been released publicly — shows that it always had tough language on Russian aggression in Ukraine. And not only did that language stay in the final platform — nothing was taken out — it was actually strengthened, not weakened, as a result of events at the convention.
