The Beat - does Putin have something on Trump?

Former CIA officer from Russia - Jon Cipher makes point that what Trump has already done is bad enough - need political solution - almost can’t wait for legal solution (because of what Trump could do until that time).

Nick Ackerman from Watergate time - simple what is going on here — quid pro quo - this is about removing sanctions for Putin. Putin put Trump in Office and in exchange, Trump and GOP agreed to remove sanctions.

Jess McIntosh- spoke to money laundering allegations - need to see tax returns to allow airing of where money came from.

there is a pee tape, etc -- anything as interesting as that.

What would fuck-up fear more than anything?

His credibility in business.

Russia bailed him out after he couldn't get any support from banks/lenders in the US and he would have gone completely under (no big-time lawyers could have gotten him out). They then used that to blackmail and wash. I really think it's that simple.

But I don't think that's what he's afraid of. It would probably just amuse his insane base anyway.
