1. It's more likely they've got dirt about stuff he actually did.

Which isn't to say he does not enjoy kiddie porn (his comments about young girls make you wonder), but I don't think they need to plant any fake dirt on him. There's bound to be real dirt out there - involvement with the mob, for example. I have no doubt Trump is about as crooked as they come and is capable of any kind of crime to make a buck and protect his brand - who knows whether he's even used mob goons to get people killed? These days computer forensics can determine whether something has been planted. If the Russians are blackmailing Trump it's for something he really did.
