it could be a revenue generating opportunity. Selling them to the highest bidder? Based on his performance over the last 4 years, it does not seem like that would be beneath him.

Made up entirely by the DOJ and then have an FBI agent offer him a ton of money for access.

GOPers acquit him during Senate trial? Once he bites on the offer of money for info, and he will...

BOOM, Trump is arrested and removed from polite society anyway.

My take is that since it's so plainly logical no one would believe Trump could have anything to do with it. It's not like Trump to "plan" stuff.
Those channels are probably already worn out from overuse anyway. Let's look in and see.......
Russian spies in their proletarian hideout, "Natasha, it's Trump again. You wanna take his call this time?" "Good griefskis, will that troll never stop? No Boris, you take it. I can't stand to talk with heem again." "You don't wanna hear about his crowds or his stolen election problems again, my darlink?" "Not today, Boris, I have a splitting headache. Must be the AmWay wine he tried to bribe us with."

He was matter-of-fact, stated an awkward truth plainly, and yet also managed to be a bit cautious. It's the kind of response I'd describe as worthy of the office of the presidency. It's been a long time since we've seen that. Thank goodness Joe's in the Oval Office.
