http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/30/politics/russians-trump-campaign-information/index.htmlRussian government officials discussed having potentially "derogatory" information about then-presidential candidate Donald Trump and some of his top aides in conversations intercepted by US intelligence during the 2016 election, according to two former intelligence officials and a congressional source.
One source described the information as financial in nature and said the discussion centered on whether the Russians had leverage over Trump's inner circle. The source said the intercepted communications suggested to US intelligence that Russians believed "they had the ability to influence the administration through the derogatory information."

This may be a three or four flusher to get the job done.

(23,335 posts)5. "the derogatory information"
Would that be exclusive to finances, say the fact that tRump is a terrible businessman, doomed to failure and bankruptcy? Or does this also elude to golden showers in his dealings with the Russians while securing money laundering duties for their oligarchs?
Wish I was a fly on the wall in the IC.
