Nancy Pelosi has suggested that Vladimir Putin probably has financial leverage over Donald Trump in damning allegations against the former president who failed to condemn the Russian leader following Alexei Navalny’s mysterious death in a Siberian prison.

“What does he have on Donald Trump that he has to constantly be catering to Putin?” the former speaker asked as she appeared on MSNBC on Monday night after returning from Munich in Germany where she met Navalny’s wife.

Navalny was a fierce Russian critic and opposition leader who died under mysterious circumstances in a brutal Arctic penal colony where he was serving a sentence. “I don’t know what he has on him, but I think it’s probably financial,” she said. “Or something on the come – something that he expects to get,” she said, explaining Mr Trump’s refusal to denounce Mr Putin whom the majority of world leaders have blamed for Navalny’s death.

The former president avoided mentioning Mr Putin in his post on Monday and compared his legal challenges in the country to Russia. "The sudden death of Alexei Navalny has made me more and more aware of what is happening in our Country," he wrote on Truth Social.

1. And pictures. Maybe videos...

[Aristus]

15. I have long ago come to the realization that if there were any

Presumably compromising photos of Trump out there, and they were published, his supporters would download them, print them out, and send them as Christmas cards.

They’ll never abandon him.

2. Oh, good grief. Couldn't they come up

with something better than this? That's just pathetic.

[Walleye]

3. I guess Trump has faith that Putin will pay his $350 million fine for him

Trump is a chump

[NCDem47]

4. GO THERE Nancy!!

Often.

Pundits on these opinion/"news" shows are scared to bring this up.

[jvill]

5. Trump comparing himself to someone who dies in a Russian gulag...

... is kinda funny.

Make it so, Number One!

[ificandream]

6. Where's that pee tape?

[Lulu KC]

7. I was thinking the same thing

[gopiscrap]

20. same here

[Martin68]

9. The pee tape will be kept in reserve until Trump betrays Putin. So far, Dump has proved faithful to his spymaster

and is still a valuable asset.

10. Pee tape wouldn't even crack the top 100 of trump scandals

14. Unless 'pee tape' is short for "pee-dophile" tape as it is pronounced in UK... that might turn a few heads in the (R)s

I have always thought that the "pee' tape referred to pee-dophilia tapes from the Epstein compound that show TFG with seriously underage girls 12-16 rather than urine.

There is of course all the money laundering through Deutsche Back as well for financials. BUt the underage tapes are likely what have many (R)'s towing the line. The remnants of the KGB and the students of those oligarchs likely have tapes of nearly every capitulating (R) in congress, the courts, and the donor pool.

18. I don't doubt there is a tape of that sort but...

I guarantee you it's more about him selling our state secrets to Putin. He didn't take those classified documents for light reading in his retirement years.

19. My Thoughts Exactly!

Maybe Nancy Pelosi felt constrained to stick to stuff for general audiences only so that her remarks wouldn't be censored, but never underestimate the power of the Pee-Pee Tape!!!

[Martin68]

8. Nancy knows what motivates Trump.

[Native]

11. Nailed it.

[republianmushroom]

12. I do believe she has nailed it.

[Marthe48]

13. If anything, traitor probably thinks

he's got the goods on putin. Traitor got away with crime his whole life. He puts himself at the same level or higher than putin, kim and others. If there is a pee tape, traitor might think there could be a tape of putin offering to set it up. Or something like that. Traitor could feel like he's holding all the cards and can afford to flatter putin. I can't see traitor thinking he's 2nd best in any of his dealings. His self-image wouldn't go there.

16. Probably? Dumpy the Clown is likely on the hook to Putie's Blowfish

for something on the order of $300 million.

You've heard of the phrase "A fool and his money are soon parted" ?

Well, in Dumpster Fire world, it goes like "A MAGAt and his money are soon parted".

[William769]

17. She's right on the money,

No pun intended.
