What could he possibly be blackmailed for at this point? There are zero consequences to anything he says or does.


child abuse


That evidence is already available. Nothing has changed.


Having proof on video of trump sexually assaulting a minor would still be significant, I think. Such footage probably exists and would make great leverage.


The Epstein files identify a pretty horrific incident involving Trump and a 14 year old girl, but it doesn't seem to have changed much so far. I suppose a video would be more compelling, but of course there'd be denials saying it was AI, etc.


I think that's their go to for damage control. I specifically remember in 2019 when Epstein was arrested, the MSM was running parallel stories talking about the rise of deep fakes. They were already setting the stage in case the kompromat was released. A few months ago with "Obama getting arrested" posted on Trump's account, I think this is a strategic reference to deep fakes. They'll say "that's not trump blowing Clinton, it's a deep fake like I posted of Obama, silly!"


There are written allegations, kind of a stretch to call it evidence. Blackmail is much more damning than a handwritten account.


Fair.
