More than that happens and more people than you would know, especially the wealthier and more powerful they are. But I don't care about that part. I would focus on who provides the reports - Steele, a well-respected veteran of the spy world, and the context behind them. Putin is a 3-D chess player schooled in the Cold War days as a KGB agent. To me this is a classical case of recruitment, and sexually compromising information has always been a pillar of that kind of spycraft. But the focus should be on the financial ties and collusion. Putin has clear motives for recruiting trump and for interferring in our democracy. It's in the report.
