Trump Vulnerable to Blackmail By Russians
 
"Classified documents presented last week to President Obama and President-elect Trump included allegations that Russian operatives claim to have compromising personal and financial information about Mr. Trump, multiple US officials with direct knowledge of the briefings tell CNN."

What would the Russians gain by exposing the information? Trump's supporters already know about bankruptcies and grabbing and . . .

How much worse can the dirt get? At some point, which seems to have passed, his supporters will shrug off bad press as merely cumulative.

Putin likely has information that will estrange Trump from his sycophants in Congress. He can hold this info over his head, knowing that its release would cause impeachment or at least mass disruption. Putin is playing chess and Trump is still trying to figure out checkers.

It seems that a significant number of people are starting to question the Trump campaign's ties to Mother Russia.

If there is a story here it seems to me that it would take a long time to tell in the US, and that makes it boring.

Americans also have a lot of stories hiding in their closets. If Putin has just one more then he would do better by telling why he hates keeping them.

One thing Ed is that there is one thing Trump is always solid as a rock on: Putin.
Maybe this is why.

Donald J. Trump, Putin's puppet.

Sheesh, what a joke. :(

Trump may have engaged in perverted sexual acts? I'm not feeling the story. Who doesn't like what goes on behind closed doors?

The article reeks more of an engineer trying to find out whether she needs to demonstrate her invention to be considered for a promotion.

Yes, Putin has billions courtesy (embezzled) of the good people of Russia's blood, sweat, and tears and rules the country. Paying someone to do dirt on something or anything is chump change to him. Everything to gain and cannot lose.
Trump is in way over his head dealing with Pootin.

Sadly, trump supporters don't care what he's done. No matter how heinous. As Trup himself said, he could stand in times square and gun down children and his supporters would still support him.

Says a lot about his supporters huh?

Many folks would find the idea of "golden anointment" as more perverse than gunning down children who might be spawn of Democrats. :rolleyes:
