Suppose I'm Vladimir Putin. I'm definitely sending back channel signals to Trump that I will grant him and his extended family political asylum, protection, and a generous monthly allowance so they can all live like Russian oligarchs for the remainder of their lives in exchange for divulging American state secrets, right? Like this is almost certainly happening, right? And does anyone trust Trump enough not to commit treason over selfishly enriching himself?
Edit: I suppose the only reason why this wouldn't be a probable scenario is if Putin believes Trump is so stupid and ill-informed that he doesn't know any valuable intelligence worth sharing.
