Trump Russia ties: Kremlin says it has no 'compromising' information

Source: BBC

Dmitry Peskov, President Vladimir Putin's spokesman, said the allegations were "pulp fiction" and a "clear attempt to damage relations".

The unsubstantiated claims say his presidential campaign secretly communicated with Moscow. They also say Russia has information about the US president-elect involving prostitutes.

Mr Trump has condemned the reports.

The president-elect tweeted: "FAKE NEWS - A TOTAL POLITICAL WITCH HUNT!"

Later on Wednesday, he went on to write: "Russia has never tried to use leverage over me. I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH RUSSIA - NO DEALS, NO LOANS, NO NOTHING!"

all one has to do is type in Financial Times and see what this serial pathological liar has done:

http://time.com/4629308/donald-trump-business-deals-world-map/




His modis operandi has been one that he thinks that he can and has gotten away with sexually harassing woman, and other feats of self gratification on his sexual prowess, just look at what he did with one Marla Maples, pretty blatant, and if this hypocrite likes to see people perform the "golden shower", all this does is reinforce that this fascists has no business being in government, he can be blackmailed, and I think he is already being blackmailed

The ReTrumplican Party has taken sides with Russia and Vlad Putin over President Obama!

Their hatred for President Obama knows no bounds. This is a dangerous and scary time for our country.

"Yeah we have intel in the incoming US Presidents with hookers." I'm sure that would be an oddball conversation.

And always a good investment potential. Of course it's no good for blackmail if it gets out.

But then again, why blackmail when your mark is happy to help you out anyway?

Maybe it was for insurance.

Find the women who were supposed to be involved, or have they already been killed? I guess no one would believe the word of prostitutes anyway, but I would think it would help.
