spies are taught to target / cultivate rubes who can further an agenda.
a rube furthering that agenda is called an asset.
no one is saying that every 3rd full moon, a bag full of rubles is deposited under a fake rock 30 paces south of the bridge over the creek in a given park for tulsi to pick up and squirrel away.
what is being said, by everyone in the intelligence community, is that tulsi is jill stein 2.0.
