The reality is finally sinking in:
According to the [Politico/ Morning Consult] poll, 57 percent believe it’s likely that Russia “has compromising information“ on Trump, compared to 31 percent who don't think it's likely.Following her curb stomping of Individual 1, Speaker Nancy Pelosi turned immediately to the question at hand:
What does Putin have on @realDonaldTrump, politically, personally or financially?— Nancy Pelosi (@SpeakerPelosi) January 26, 2019
Some of the kompromat is already in plain view (Putin knowing Individual 1 lied about his continuing to pursue a hotel deal in Moscow during the campaign, for example), some is just waiting to be exposed (his shady financial dealings with Russians going back decades), and some is only hinted at by the fact the FBI smelled enough smoke to open a counterintelligence operation on a sitting President in 2017.
Since Individual 1 is a) a moron and b) has never been held to account in his entire bottom- feeding life, he often hasn't bothered to cover his tracks. The indictments so far have been telling a story. The Special Counsel team's focus has largely been on the "what" of the connections between Individual 1 and Russia. The Southern District of New York team's parallel investigations have been focused largely on the "why" of Individual 1's affinity for Russia. Keep an eye on the investigations ripening quickly and for the actions of both teams to be coordinated in a flurry of indictments that will be the political equivalent of "shock and awe."
BONUS: Here's the Speaker's full statement on the arrest of Individual 1 partner in crime Roger Stone, and the question of Individual 1's being compromised by Putin.
