Wouldn't be hard to believe that the kompromat was shared or uncovered by other nations too - too much (particularly in Trump first term) lead to indicate he was also used extensively by Russia, IMO. Or maybe it was a joined thing, or negotiated between the nations (Taiwan for Ukraine for Gaza, idk).
"Operation Xiao Kosher Pierogi is a go, I repeat..." sounds as plausible as anything else happened these days :-/
It’s worth looking into in a serious manner. But don’t forget Occam’s razor with Russia - Trump failed at so many business ventures and repeatedly went bankrupt so many times, that no western bank would even do business with him. That’s when he went to the Russian oligarchs, who laundered money through trump properties (eg, NY tower penthouse suites, etc.) These constitute at least some of the “financial crimes” which Mueller outlined in the 2nd half of his report, and Congress chose to totally ignore it during impeachment to instead focus on the more difficult to prove Russian conspiracy charges. Mueller, a Republican mind you, practically begged Congress to go for the slam dunk on financial crimes and unshackle him from doing a full investigation there, but they outright refused.
To me, this is actually further evidence of the Trump-Epstein coverup, and the fact that many prominent political figures on both sides of the aisle are implicated in the child rape blackmail operation.
Meh, while Trump wasn't as gung-ho as Blinken later was under Biden, he also wasn't particularly helpful to Russia either in anything but saying the quiet parts loud.
He was impeached first time for trying to make weapons he was sending to Ukraine conditional on digging up dirt on Biden, for example - but he was also sending more weapons than under Obama.
Russiagate was much more a phenomena of the Dem aligned media finding a topic that they could use against Trump while NOT also challenging their leadership. So that left out any economic fights (that was for bitter BernieBros), Epstein, and even emoluments. Russiagate was mostly conspiracy theories done by Rachel Maddow, but it did have the main effect of not bothering Democratic leadership. We even saw them weaponizing it against the left, as for example when Bernie was leading in Nevada in 2020.
Frankly, I'm beginning to think Russiagate was, in fact, the original distraction from the Epstein files.
