Abramson: What if the intel dossier DT recieved was kompromat on him, and not HRC?
Seth Abramson has a theory to consider re: the Russian kompromat--that it's actually kompromat about TRUMP, not Clinton, that the Trump's received at that meeting with Junior in June 2016, in exchange for quid pro quo with Russia.
Edited to add the subsequent thread:
(1) The New York Times now reports that the intel dossier left with Don (that he now can't recall) came from the king of Russian kompromat.
(2) No less than Fox News has noted that if the Trumps received *top-shelf* Clinton kompromat, they would have used it during the campaign.
(3) We know from the Manafort-Priebus call a week before the inauguration that the Kremlin's kompromat on Clinton involves Ukrainian money.
(4) The Trump campaign clearly *had* that kompromat—which is why Manafort told Priebus to release it—but never used it during the campaign.
(5) Don Jr. received a dossier of intel just *two days* after the Russians were certain the general election would be Trump versus Clinton.
(6) Don Jr. is now lying—per participants in the meeting—about the existence of any such dossier, and POTUS seems to be lying about it too.
(7) It's not clear why Don would go out of his way to hide that the campaign received negative intel about Clinton. POTUS already admits it.
(8) The month of the meeting is the month Chris Steele began investigating the Russian operation to compromise Trump via Kremlin kompromat.
(9) We know Don Jr. lied not just about receiving a dossier, but also about its contents—which he (falsely) said were "vague and ambiguous."
(10) If Steele is right—the Kremlin is blackmailing Trump—at some point Putin had to have confronted Trump with a copy of Kremlin kompromat.
(11) The Russian attendees to the June 9th, 2016 meeting are such Russia and Putin loyalists they could be trusted to carry Trump kompromat.
(12) I am neither saying I *know* this is true or even that I necessarily *believe* this is true. But it *must* be one investigatory theory.
(13) It *would* explain the need to hold such a risky general-election meeting at a place controlled—and secured—by the Trumps themselves.
(14) What I'll say is this: *all indications* are that Trump received a dossier of kompromat, never disclosed it, and is lying about it now.
(15) And the need for such ongoing and spectacular public deceit only makes *sense* if the dossier was damaging to Trump, not Clinton. {end}
(PS) And as I have noted in multiple threads, the two men who set up the meeting—Aras and Emin Agalarov—are known and proven Kremlin agents.
(PS2) And these known and proven Kremlin agents *sent a representative to the meeting* to make sure everything went well and to report back.
(PS3) If the meeting was just to dump a dossier on the Trump campaign—not to *discuss* anything in the dossier—it could just be *delivered*.
(PS4) Somehow the Kremlin felt there had to be a gaggle of Putin loyalists *in the room* when Jr, Kushner and Manafort received the dossier.
(PS5) To be clear: perhaps the dossier was *both* files: Trump *and* Clinton kompromat. But some Trump kompromat being included makes sense.
