Michael Sellers doesn't seem as nutbar on the surface as Jon Chait. But here he is, "ex"-spook and all, reviving the claim that Trump was "recruited," and not necessarily in the Gorbachev years, but with the Czechs leaning on Ivana's dad back in late Brezhnev times.
I said in a quote-tweet that, per Wikipedia with links (and Wiki usually has links, so you can trace its claims; in places where it doesn't, be more skeptical, that Yuri Shvets isn't that reliable. At a minimum, he's a blowhard who's made unsubstantiated claims about several things.
And, per Snopes, Alnur Mussayev is even less reliable with his "Krasnov" claims.
Sellers, who is presenting a whole set of Substack pieces with the — head fake, IMO — of "let us proceed cautiously with this," quoted my quote and doubled down on claims both have the straight skinny.
I have no doubt that there's plenty of other Michael Sellers people out there, and many others quoting him approvingly.
We've got 3 years, 10 months of tribalism left.
