Rep. Will Hurd (R-TX)
DON'T MISS STORIES. FOLLOW RAW STORY!


In a New York Times op-ed published Friday, Rep. Will Hurd (R-TX), a former undercover CIA officer, bluntly lays out the case that President Donald Trump is being manipulated by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“Over the course of my career as an undercover officer in the C.I.A., I saw Russian intelligence manipulate many people. I never thought I would see the day when an American president would be one of them,” Hurd writes.

He explains why this is dangerous.

“By playing into Vladimir Putin’s hands, the leader of the free world actively participated in a Russian disinformation campaign that legitimized Russian denial and weakened the credibility of the United States to both our friends and foes abroad,” Hurd says.

He reiterates the fact that the intelligence community’s conclusion about Russian meddling in the 2016 election are certain.

“Our intelligence community has concluded with high confidence that President Putin personally ordered his security services to undertake an influence campaign aimed at undermining confidence in American democracy to sow chaos in our electoral system,” he writes.

Hurd then outlines the tools Congress can use to counter Russian disinformation and meddling around the world....

Yeah...I've seen this guy interviewed.

He comes across as knowledgeable...informed...and genuine (for a politician.)

This entire administration is farce...being played out on a very large stage.

“Over the course of my career as an undercover officer in the C.I.A., I saw Russian intelligence manipulate many people. I never thought I would see the day when an American president would be one of them,” Congressman Will Hurd (R-Texas) writes.

These Trumpian times we are living in are truly remarkable.

Other than the remaining dead-enders who leap at every opportunity to lick Trump's boots, I am astounded by the scale at which the rest of humanity - including many Republicans - are shocked to the core at the incompetence, duplicity, and recklessness of this incoherent Orange Pig.

I'm sure Rep. Hurd (R-TX) is an unAmerican RINO. As is everyone who speaks out against the tiny-fingered, Cheeto-stained, ferret-wearing shitgibbon.

Wish I could remember where it was.... the other day I read another intelligence professional's comment that Trump during that Helsinki debacle had every appearance of a hostage reading a prepared-for-him-by-his-captors statement.

Don't know about you guys, but I like Presidents who weren't captured by the Russians.

shows you that even Republicans can be wrong......

It's All Coming Apart ...

I'm making a prediction. The TRUMP ORGANIZATION is going to be rife with CRIMINAL activities and FINANCIAL transactions start to finish. Acquisitions, financing, bribes, payoffs, dark money, despotic connections and shit I haven't even considered in THIS and of course OTHER COUNTRIES!

Take it to the bank (pun intended).

shows you that ever Republicans can be wrong......

Everyone that voted for traitor Trump
