25. Someone may have solid information of Rat-fucking the elections for Republicans.

Money isn’t the only leverage with these people. It’s knowledge of deeds. Trump now has all the Intel gathered as President. And, he has what Putin and other countries have provided him for blackmail on politicians and others for deal making.

Some thoughts on what the leverage could be:

On Trump:
Underage girls, human trafficking
Drug trafficking
Shady deals

On Trump as President:
Payoffs to terrorists and drug lords
Shady deals to include arms sales

On Republicans:
Proof of shady deals
Rat-fucking of prior elections
Emails hacked with highly embarrassing info

Rich Republican movers and shakers don’t want the country to enjoy the good life of what a Democratic President can deliver lest we figure out their way is total crap. These rich donors don’t care what happens just as long as the country doesn’t go liberal. Happy people vote Democratic and the scared, unhappy people vote Republican. So, they will pour money into what and whoever helps them stay rich and the country stay miserable.

At this pivotal point in time Trump controls the civilian “muscle” of their Party. Republicans now have to decide how to control that muscle. Trump still owns them. Republicans who care about the country are in a helluva bind. Trump needs a talkin’ to with a heap of leverage on him. They need to get him out.
