• President Donald Trump is the "perfect target" for Russian intelligence. That's what the retired US Army Col. Lt. Ralph Peters asserted during a CNN interview on Wednesday night.
• Peters said Trump's acquiescence to Russia and its leader, Vladimir Putin, suggests to him that Putin has "some sort of grip on Trump."
• The former Fox News military analyst said the Steele dossier, a collection of memos and opposition research on Trump compiled by a former British intelligence agent, "rang true" to him, because, as he put it, Trump "has no self-control, a sense of sexual entitlement, and intermittent financial crises."
• "That's made-to-order for seduction by Russian intelligence," Peters said.
