This is the first of a three-part series based on never-before-published training manuals for the KGB, the Soviet intelligence organization that Vladimir Putin served as an operative, and that shaped his view of the world. Its veterans still make up an important part of now-Russian President Vladimir Putin's power base. All were trained in the same dark arts, and these primers in tradecraft are essential to an understanding of the way they think and the way they operate.

    illegal dealings

    What makes dealings illegal? It's not that the dealing exists. You have to go beyond that to some violation of law, like constitutional violation of one of the emoluments clauses or respective legislative law. Merely having contacts with Russians doesn't count even if to obtain information about political opponents. My view is that if, for example, Trump paid for legit dirt on Clinton from the Russian government, that should be legal just as if the converse happened.
