    Stop looking for a goddamned pee tape as the "kompromat" file on Trump. The kompromat file is all the receipts of Trump willingly conspiring with Russia to get elected. https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/08/02/lawfare-missing-the-kompromat-for-the-pee-glee/ …

        I think they own him financially. All of the sudden, Trump started paying cash for properties, like Turnberry.

        Seems like there's an even simpler level here: the Trump team denied contacts with Russians. Russians knew all along, obvs, that contacts had taken place. That in itself was politically explosive info that gave them leverage. So, zero doubt that kompromat exists. Right?

        Eh. I think there's a formal aspect to the way the Russians ensured they made Trump affirm his support that goes beyond his denials.

        There are sticks too. Those are the ones I'm most worried about, bc all the controversy abt the carrots have meant no one is preparing for the sticks. https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/07/14/vladimir-putin-manages-trump-with-both-carrots-and-sticks/ …

        When does this all come crashing down? For all their liability, Jr and Kushner especially seem to be extraordinarily calm.

        Are you saying that “report” is going to be an indictment for Trump simply given to congress?

        I think there will be an indictment that at least makes Trump's role clear.

        This “pee tape” thing...ffs. As IF that would be problematic AT ALL for his sycophants. The majority of “kompromat” tapes will be much worse. The reality is money laundering, bribes, blackmail, tax evasion, conspiracy, treason, etc. in our faces. Crickets.
