1. Motive, Trump and Jared were in financial difficulty and the Russians have been coming to their

Here, take a loan.

Now we own you. Don't even THINK of filing bankruptcy.

Here, launder some money for us.

Now we have you by the balls.

Let's work together to get you elected. We can be partners!

Now we really have you by the balls.

They own the President lock stock and barrel.

3. I don't think I would want to have...

6. I'm not sure about that. This was leaked in an anonymous letter to WaPo around Dec 10, but they had
