Originally, Trump pursued validation for his Biden conspiracy theory from the Ukrainian Government. He got caught and didn’t get it. So now Lindsey Graham is using his Senate office to provide it. This is dangerous “spirit of party” of which George Washington warned.https://twitter.com/LindseyGrahamSC/status/1197629617999425543 …
“Asset” actually has a specific intelligence meaning and that isn’t it. We should be more careful with words like this. Using them incorrectly is counterproductive.

In the everyday world, "asset" means something that you can count on to help you reach your goals. Lindsey is an asset to Russia. You want to parse words and normalize that, your choice.

If you’re accusing me of normalizing Graham’s behavior, that’s silly. When you accuse someone of being a “Russian asset” you’re saying that they’re a recruited agent of Russian intelligence. That’s what that actually means. Using that term loosely hurts more than it helps.
