American Kompromat, House of Trump/House of Putin, House of Bush/House of Saud and the upcoming Den of Spies author Craig Unger will be our very special guest Sunday, July 14 at 4 pm PT for our monthly Founder’s Day event — my way to give back to all of you who subscribe to Bette Dangerous at the premium level!
More than any investigative reporter of our time, Unger has proven that Trump was cultivated by the KGB in the ‘80s and questioned what that meant for our national security.
RadPod did a blockbuster interview with Unger today, in advance of his October ‘surprise’ — Den of Spies: Reagan, Carter, and the Secret History of the Treason That Stole the White House — which you can preorder here.
Here are some quotes from Unger from his previous visit with RadPod, where we discussed his book, American Kompromat:
“Donald Trump was a Russian asset, and he was cultivated by the KGB going way back to the 80s… Russia really owns him, and the myth of Trump, as a great businessman is really ridiculous. He had bankruptcy after bankruptcy after bankruptcy when he over-expanded into Atlantic City. And he was bailed out again and again by the Russians.
“Russian mafia is part of Russian intelligence. They're not at odds with it. They are an instrument of Russian intelligence.”
“Is it okay for the president of the United States to have made a fortune laundering money for the Russian mafia? Shouldn't that be a scandal? Doesn't that compromise you? And it certainly does in terms of national security. And that's what counterintelligence is about, and the FBI failed miserably.”
Learn more about his books, American Kompromat and House of Trump, House of Putin, and check out RadPod’s previous interview with him here.
I will share today’s RadPod interview as soon as it is edited.
