Most conspiracy theories aren't very useful, but this one might have legs. People have speculated for years that Putin must have Kompromat on Trump, and have generally focused on the so-called "pee tapes". The recent revelation that Jeffrey Epstein used primarily Russian banks to finance his trafficking suggests that Putin has access to Kompromat not just on Trump, but many more people besides.
Very handy!:If Russian banks processed those transactions, one can assume that they have corresponding bank account info on all the related parties to those transactions. Given his very close relationship with Epstein and his obvious propensity to abuse women, Trump’s own account info may be in there. But, perhaps of even greater interest would be learning of all the others doing ‘business’ with Epstein.
If that information exists at all, Putin would have it, it would certainly be big-time Kompromat. Just threatening to expose it, even without actually having it, would have similar effect because it would be so plausible. This is true both for what Putin might have on Trump and, probably just as bad for Trump, what Putin may have on many of Trump’s political, business and international associates.
