1. Putin probably recorded the meeting with Trump.

2. Russia could at some point release or leak a portion for its own advantage.

3. Russia could at some point release or leak a *doctored* portion for its own advantage.

4. Trump would not be able to refute either.

Trump is a WILLING co-conspirator with Putin and Russia... they have no more need to have leverage on him.

...Donnie is already so far under Putin's thumb that it's hard see how he could be farther under.

They could doctor recordings of him to say ANYTHING and the dolt in chief wanders into the room like some confused Alzheimer's patient with an ill-fitting suit and bad tie like a modern incarnation of Mr. Magoo.

Please Vladimir, be very unhappy with the job performance Trump has provided you for your assistance and slip HIM the nerve agent you keep deploying in Britain...I swear, the USA won't hold you accountable...half of us are in hock to you for campaign cash and the other half are simply waiting to party when the shit gibbon stops wasting oxygen. You have a hall pass to do as you please, so please do...

...and embarrassed Trump with the release of transcript from WH meeting of Russians with Trump. If we get any information at all about what happened, it will likely come from the Russian side. What a sad commentary.

Being outplayed by a master manipulator.

The US is doomed. Putin needs our Nuclear arsenal, our Natural resources, our powerful economy, in order to reconquer what was once the Soviet Union.

... Russia's help in rigging our elections.

In Russian politics, kompromat, short for "compromising material" (компрометирующий материал , is damaging information about a politician or other public figure used to create negative publicity, for blackmail, or for ensuring loyalty.

We will have to go hard on him and reveal his complicity in order to denounce every promise that he is alleged to have made.
