Yes. I have said before. I don't think he shares the typical view of whether a person is good or bad, black or white but instead sees people as useful. Can he move this person/piece into this position to serve a temporary purpose? This is independent of whether the person knows they are being useful or not and whether deep state will catch him doing it. You don't have to like or admire a playing piece on the chess board in order to move it into a position that works in your favor.
