I just heard this listening to Thom Hartmann who stole this from Daily Kos. Some of the responses were hilarious.
Lyndsey Graham's balls.
Tiffany.
Pictures of Ivanka.
Letter to Putin asking the price for the nuclear codes.
My favorite, think about this, Incriminating pictures of Mar-el-loco guests to be used for blackmail. Just like Putin did to Trump in Russia.

Look at what he was ready to do to Mike Pence.
Does MTG really think he'd hesitate to do the same to her? For some other perceived slight.

Even when they have seen the mob boss deep six their colleagues.

(5,844 posts)But he didn't do anything to him, did he? If he had blackmail information regarding Pence you can bet he would have used it to make him help him steal 2020. But Pence still looks pretty clean right now. And that leads me to speculate that Pence really didn't get his hands dirty even though it appears he was a silent witness to the criminality (and that makes him an accessory even if he didn't participate directly).
Pence stood up to him, maybe because he didn't have anything to lose. However, I wonder if the orange fuck really does have blackmail goods on McConnell, Jordan, Greene, etc. and that is why they are having an utter shitfit.
What WAS in that safe? Maybe it was evidence of the criminality of the rest of the cabal? Can you imagine??
TigressDem
(5,125 posts)IF SOME of the Secret Service were so loyal to tRump they would hurt some of Pence's family, that information might be somewhere.
Not that Pence DID anything wrong, but what kind of threats were held over Pence's head.
MTG is such a weirdo, there may be lots of stuff in there about her.

(5,844 posts)He wasn't getting into the car because he knew of the plan to not certify the election if he was whisked away, not because he felt he was in physical danger. He was in more danger from the seditionists.
But to me, it doesn't look like he was being blackmailed because I think he's just not as corrupt as the rest of them. Hence, doing the right thing and certifying the election. Don't get me wrong - I despise everything about Pence. But maybe he was just too much of a wimp to participate in the criminality. Too boring. Mother would disapprove.
However, I can imagine there's all sorts of dirt on the rest of the corrupt motherfuckers who are today absolutely losing their shit over the fact that the FBI grabbed the contents of that safe and those contents are in the hands of the DOJ now.

(5,125 posts)I bet they took his tax documents. See if they match the ones sent to IRS.

(47,131 posts)Something embarrassing and damaging to the US or elite he might leak if busted.

(5,125 posts)What to do with it is the question.
How to hold tRump accountable without bringing down the country.
Sigh.
I guess that is why some documents become classified in the first place.
I wonder sometimes if he had something to do with Ivana falling down the stairs. He's using her grave as a tax shelter.
Irish_Dem
(47,131 posts)He is a ruthless sociopath and has been playing with the dangerous Russians.
Anything incriminating Trump would have destroyed long ago.
Ivana was with him on his first trip to Russia.
She knew where the bodies are buried.
You probably meant Ivana. Ivanka was the daughter. Confusing names.

(8,053 posts)Well, I've often wondered why so many have stood behind him no matter what.
Are the Grahams', Devin Nunes', Kevin McCarthy's, etc. being blackmailed? Maybe the list of where the bodies are buried were in that safe....
Novara
(5,844 posts)Pure speculation, but imagine if he was blackmailing them with evidence of their crimes. It would explain how McCarthy was denouncing the insurrection until he went to Mar a Lardo and kissed the rancid orange ass and came back to Washington singing a different tune. I always wondered how he could so forcefully denounce the insurrection and after one trip to kiss the orange ass he flipped 180 degrees.
Now, play the tape forward. What if - pure speculation - the FBI and the DOJ now has its hands on criminality perpetuated by McConnell, Jordan, Greene, McCarthy, etc.? Could one search warrant produce evidence that might take them all down?
A girl can dream.

The former president called the search an assault and complained that the authorities had broken into a safe. The news appeared to come as a surprise to top aides at the White House.

She's talking about how when folks speak and spoke out against him (examples: Kevin McCarthy) right after 1/6 and then they go to Mar-A-Lago and completely do an about face.
WHAT DOES HE HAVE ON THESE PEOPLE ?????????????
