Tulsi Gabbard Russian asset!

Gabbard has made some comments and taken some positions that the Russians like.  Those comments and positions are assets that the Russians can use even if Gabbard does not really want then to.  So those would be "assets" to the Russians.

But I don't think Gabbard is being "groomed" because I don't think the Russians really control her.  In fact I don't think the Russians really even support her.  They can just use her comments and positions to sow discord among the Democrats and divide them.

Hillary is just hyper-sensitive to Russian meddling because she was the victim last time.  If she really thought that Tulsi was working with the Russians she should have talked to her first instead of bring this out in the media.

To give a really late response: You might be right, this is not my prime language after all. To me, being an "asset" contains being willfully on team Russia. Getting groomed would mean (to me) they might support her, but she does not ask for it.

As for Hillary, claiming the left is obsessed with her seems odd. Republicans allegedly asked Taylor about her emails and not much else, and they pretty much asked every witness about Hillary and her emails and her Fusion GPS connection in the open sessions I saw. Kavanaugh claimed the allegations against him are revenge on behalf of the Clintons. Trump's favorite outlet Breitbart has a Hillary article every other day. Now that is what I'd consider an obsession.
