Question: What leverage does Putin have to blackmail Trump?

Probably a great deal.

Let’s see:

  1. Russia, unlike the United States, doesn’t have laws which prevent it from wiretapping and eavesdropping on people without warrants being obtained. - Given T****’s general stupidity and his propensity to use insecure wireless and online devices, it’s likely that the Russians have reams of data demonstrating him committing acts for which he could still be prosecuted, criminally.
  2. Russia likely has information related to T****’ business dealings overseas for which he could theoretically be prosecuted there or have assets overseas seized by tax departments.
  3. Russia likely has recordings which would violate the agreements that T**** seems to have between himself and the current Mrs. T**** - If we hearken back to T****’s NY State criminal trial, he was unconcerned that he was essentially admitting to criminal acts, but was exceptionally concerned that Ms. Daniels claim that he engaged in sexual relations with her be challenged. It seems probable that as part of his marital agreement with his current wife that adultery would come with a hefty price tag, and perhaps the Russians have evidence of that.
  4. Russia has visual or auditory evidence of T**** using drugs or alcohol (or both) - One of T****’s most consistent claims (read: Lies) is that he doesn’t drink, nor use illegal drugs. Despite rumors from his Apprentice days of his abuse of the prescription stimulant Adderall and claims of his use of cocaine for decades, no one has yet gone on record as having seen T**** using/abusing drugs. Perhaps the Russians have videos and the receipts for his actions.
  5. The Russians have video or audio (or both) of T**** having one or more sexual encounters with a same sex partner or partners, or a transgender partner or partners. - Given the decades that he spent haunting New York City’s nightspots and his longtime business relationship with the late attorney Roy Cohn, T****’s intolerance of the LGBTQ community is quite odd. Its explanation may be that T**** is bisexual and that the Russians have evidence of that fact. Given that the US media doesn’t to have it (it would have leaked by now) it may have been the result of one or more “honey traps” (See below) set for him by the Russians during his travels to Europe or to Russia itself.

Whatever the Russians have, they are clearly in a position where T**** will only confront them obliquely and whee he will not challenge its leader, Vladimir Putin, directly.

The above may be the likely reasons for this.
