but first some “juicy details” from Daily Beast:
A salacious 35-page document, a summary of which was presented to President Barack Obama and President-elect Trump last week, included allegations that Russian operatives claim to possess “compromising personal and financial information” on Trump, CNN first reported, citing multiple U.S. officials.
The full document, which has been circulating in media and government circles for months, was published by BuzzFeed on Tuesday night. It claims that Russian authorities sought to “exploit Trump’s personal obsessions and sexual perversion” to gain compromising material on him.
The most explosive allegation from a source was that Trump employed a “number of prostitutes to perform a ‘golden showers’ [sic] (urination) show in front of him. The hotel was known to be under FSB [Russian intelligence] control with microphones and concealed cameras in all the main rooms to record anything they wanted to.” Daily Beast
We already have good evidence that Trump has one paraphilia, frotteurism. That happens t be illegal. Even Jeff Sessions owned up to that today. Now it seems might have yet another one, urolagnia. (I sometimes can’t resist being the shrink.)
In case you weren’t watching MSNBC waiting for President Obama’s farewell speech here’s a summary of the breaking news from HuffPo.
Here’s my original story:
On MSNBC and Bloomberg's With All Due Respect hosted by Mark Halperin and John Heilemann they didn’t seem to think these Russia stories about Trump would be game changers prior to the election. But the public loves sexy stories, and they don’t necessarily have to involve sex; but Russia’s notoriously effective and sometimes very dangerous FSB would have been negligent if they didn’t try to compromise billionaire Donald Trump when he was in Moscow for his 2013 Miss Universe pageant. This part of the Russia story could also involve sex.
This morning I wrote about how the FSB might have lured Trump into a classic spy honey trap and have videos of him in sexually compromising activities with a minor, or for that matter since he was married, with an adult woman.
This is what I wrote this morning:
The Russians may have blackmail material they can, or already have, used on Donald Trump.
Since the time immemorial, spy agencies have set honey traps to lure susceptible men (and women) into sexual liaisons or relationships which they later could use either to blackmail foreigners or force them to betray their own countries.
With Trump they easily could have found a 15 year old to come on to him and play on Trump’s sexual proclivities. Of course they would have videos of everything he did.
Considering that Putin is a former KGB agent I would be surprised if he didn’t order FSB (the new KGB) to get something he could use against someone like Trump who he might need in his pocket in the future.
If he did this when Trump was nominated he must have broke out the Stolichnaya Gold vodka, Beluga caviar, and Piramides Edicion Limitada 2008 Cuban cigars to celebrate his spymaster prescience.
Are honey traps real? You bet!
Oh, they're real. Honey traps, also called "honey pots," have been a favorite spying tactic as long as sex and espionage have existed—in other words, forever. Perhaps the earliest honey trap on record was the betrayal of Samson by Delilah, who revealed Samson's weakness (his hair) to the Philistines in exchange for 1,100 pieces of silver, as described in the book of Judges. The practice continued into the 20th century and became a staple of Cold War spy craft. Governments around the world set up honey traps to this day, but it's an especially common practice in Russia and China. The Central Intelligence Agency doesn't comment on whether its agents use their sexuality to obtain information, but current and former intelligence officials say it does happen occasionally.

The old line, “caught with a dead girl or a live boy” might apply to Trump with his supporters. In fact the dead girl part might not count. They know he's a sick piece of work and they seem to like it.
Okay, you brought of dead girls… and the FSB could have pulled that off too… Not to dwell on the most tawdry aspect of what a video might show… oh hell… consider that it might show that Trump’s sexual appetite is something most people or at least most women would find offensive, weird, or at least on the fringes. Either that or the videos show him in dire need of Viagra.

Best comment:
During the Cold War, US service members stationed in Germany were explicitly warned about not falling for women in certain bars that were known to be hotspots for KGB honey traps.
The typical scenario, and it happened plenty of times, was: married service member picks up or gets picked up by attractive woman at bar. She takes him to “her room.” Shortly after, another KGB agent shows him the photos or videos of his performance: “You wouldn’t want your wife to see these, would you?”, and then asks him to “help out" by providing “some information.”
Once the hapless guy provides his first tidbit of information, he’s hooked: now they can report him for espionage if he doesn’t keep “producing.” Very quickly he’s in so deep that there is no getting out. And eventually he gets caught, with the result of a destroyed career, destroyed marriage, and long prison term.
Prediction:
Russia gets what it wants from Trump, something irreversible such as an annexation, and then releases the goodies at an opportune moment. Trump gets hounded out of office, leaving us with the arch theocrat dominionist Pence and a discredited regime that limps along ineffectually for the remaining two years. I would guess that the “opportune moment” will be shortly after the 2018 election, so the backlash won’t help our efforts to replace Republicans in Congress with Democrats.
Alternately, Russia helps him win a 2nd term (aaaacckkkk!) and then drops the goodies shortly after he's sworn in, in 2021. Trump gets hounded out of office, Pence takes over, four more years of accelerating decline & fall.
