U.S. Spies Warn Trump and GOP: Russia Could Get You Next - Daily Beast

The Russians helped Republicans this time around, but the GOP—and Donald Trump—won’t always be so lucky.

A salacious 35-page document, a summary of which was presented to President Barack Obama and President-elect Trump last week, included allegations that Russian operatives claim to possess “compromising personal and financial information” on Trump, CNN first reported, citing multiple U.S. officials.

The most explosive allegation from a source was that Trump employed a “number of prostitutes to perform a ‘golden showers’ [sic] (urination) show in front of him. The hotel was known to be under FSB [Russian intelligence] control with microphones and concealed cameras in all the main rooms to record anything they wanted to.”

In addition, Russian operatives also allegedly fed "valuable intelligence" on Hillary Clinton for "several years." The Daily Beast has been unable to verify those claims.

Furthermore, in what could precipitate a separate FBI investigation, Cohen is alleged to have met with Russian representatives and “associated operators/hackers” in Prague in August or September of 2016 for the purpose of learning how to “process deniable cash payments to operatives; contingency plans for covering up operations; and action in [the] event of a Clinton election victory.” - The Daily Beast

Collaborating with our nation's enemies is a crime, if I'm not mistaken.
