    What would Russia want with him at this point? They have bigger fish to fry, like the war they’re losing in Ukraine.

      Well if I were them I would set him up in a mansion and give him a microphone. He could go scream about how he is the government in exile and the US government would be in the awkward position of not only having to pay him a pension and bodyguards, within Russia, but not be able to silence him or extradite him.

      It’s not like he has anything Russia wants but he could be useful as a ego attack on the US. Sorta like Snowden or that WikiLeaks guy.
