Compromised.
That’s the word of the day.
Compromised.
It describes exactly what Trump is right now. And has been for weeks and months.
He’s compromised.
The intel revelations about his sexual preferences and actions while in Russia are actually quite besides the point. It’s that the Russians were intent on exploiting Trump to their own benefit and would use these events to further their own interests at our expense.
Trump’s business dealings with Russia are shrouded in mystery, but we know he’s got significant business with Russians (courtesy of his own admission that they do).

On and on it goes - Trump surrounded himself with a bunch of people who were whispering pro-Russia/pro-Putin things in his ear. The GOP platform adopted a more pro-Russia position at Trump’s behest.
That’s why Trump’s compromised.
That it is true or not is already besides the point. Russia benefits from kneecapping Trump’s administration in the crib with these statements. Create chaos and uncertainty.
Meanwhile, the media’s handling of these revelations - included in the presidential briefings no less - compared to the Clinton email vaporware - is quite informative.
Come on. The difference in how this Trump revelation is being handled vs. how the Comey letter was handled is too hyperbolic to ignore. pic.twitter.com/NHY2qy7x4L

The media is responsible to a significant extent for what has happened with the election outcome. Pushing bogus stories as though they’re legitimate. Ignoring legitimate issues or otherwise burying the details on page A30 (as they’re again doing with Trump).
