(That&#8217;s part of how they do business.) And       when his credit landed in the toilet and no US bank would touch       him, their opening got ripe. He needed cash and there were plenty       of oligarchs wanting to launder money into the US.<\/p>\n<p>So do the Russians have him for &#8220;money laundering&#8221;? No, too       simple. They laid a treasonous path, and he walked down it. They       reeled him in, bit by bit, and as he thinks back, he&#8217;s not sure       what all they have over him, but he knows they have plenty.<\/p>\n<p>At this point I think Putin keeps his distance, never giving       Trump the warm reassurance he craves. Rather, I think Putin takes       pleasure in occasionally yanking Trump&#8217;s chain, torturing him,       making him nervous as hell. Putin has no respect for Trump, but he       still likes groveling from anyone, particularly from a US       President.<\/p>\n<p>-kb<\/p>\n<p>\u00a92018 Kent Borg<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have wondered what Putin has on Trump to get such deference.
