Do you understand the spy terms of a cutout and a dangle?

She was both a cutout and a dangle. She was not there with a basketful of priceless Faberge eggs from the Hermitage. She was there with a little bauble to judge Team Trump's reaction, to see how thirsty they were and to provide some plausible deniability. She doesn't work for the government after all. Putin was not going on a blind date. He wanted to know if Team Trump was going to get into bed with him before he got dressed for the day.

This is the beginning. Later on they bring out the big guns like Kislyak and Gorkov. This is where it starts and it later includes Kushner asking Kislyak if he could use Russian communication tools so Team Trump can speak to him in secret.
