Because Trump is the most openly vile, criminally minded person that has ever survived the political world, and that would mean that by now our intelligence agencies would have collected their own information to black mail him with.
Now, wouldn't that be a table turner, if we had white hats on our side that could use that information to blackmail Trump to nullify the blackmail from the other side? And i say that because, releasing the information to the public will do no good since the benchmark to be a malicious evil bastard is so skewed, that there will never be an upswell from the public to do anything about it.

Trump does what Putin wants anyway, because Trump reveres Putin and wants to be Putin when he grows up.
Putin wouldn't need to lift a finger or have anything on Trump for Trump to do whatever he wants, just by default.

The Orange Hellbeast is so stupid he doesn't even know he's being played by Putin, Kim, and his other strongman boyfriends. It would be funny if the situation wasn't so dire. 😱
