Trump has been courting Putin to pay off his loans.
All those calls, all the kissing ass, all the ignoring of Russia's malfeasance is for one thing: hoping Putin will have arrange to pay off the 421 million dollar debt that is soon coming due.
Putin hasn't done it so far because he wanted to hold something over him in his second term.
What the hell else is he talking to Putin about with all the secrecy surrounding their contacts?
So we needn't expect to see Russia's financial support to Trump in the past. But Putin will press an oligarch to pay off Trump's debts in the future. Trump is worried because thinks Putin's word might be as valueless as his own.

She knows. Democrats should press harder for Trump' Bank records over the past 20 years. THAT is where the bodies are buried and the truth lies.
