Is Putin about to add to his collection of Americans occupying high office?

Those wise in the ways of the Russian GRU (nee' KGB) regularly opine that Donald Trump is the exemplar of the person the GRU would target.  This exposure is due to Trump's known sexual misadventures and financial difficulties following his multiple bankruptcies.

Brett Kavanaugh, the nominee of the Manchurian President (or should that be the Siberian President?) to the US Supreme Court outdoes Trump when it comes to fracture seams Putin could lever open.  He had debts that were mysteriously paid off just before his confirmation hearing.  As for sexual misadventures, as of today, he has one actual accusation of attempted rape come out of his closet and several murmurings of more.  He has a history of alcohol abuse.  And an apparent gambling addiction.

It would be hard to think of someone who could tick more of Vlad's boxes.  Which brings a question to mind.  Trump made a big deal during the election of  a list from which he would draw Supreme Court nominees.  Kavanaugh wasn't on this list.  Much is made of Kavanaugh's strange view that the US President is above the law and that this is the primary reason for his nomination.  Didn't the Kennedy resignation and the Kavanaugh nomination get started in motion after the Helsinki Summit?    Kavanaugh only has one vote and that is a pretty thin shield for Trump to stand behind.What if this nomination is Putin's play to get a seat on the US Supreme Court?

A couple of years ago this suggestion might seem out of left field.  Perhaps it will be today.  But the 2016 election should have taught us that the previously implausible might be the most likely

It worked with Trump, Putin would be stupid not to try it again.

Does anyone here keep up with some reasoned analysis about Russia, say Patrick Armstrong from Ottawa? Or is just it pull it out of your left earhole time?
