(6,207 posts)4. Kompromat. Sen. Lindsey Graham seems like a likely candidate.
In the early days, kompromat featured doctored photographs, planted drugs, grainy videos of liaisons with prostitutes hired by the KGB, and a wide range of other primitive entrapment techniques. More contemporary forms of kompromat appear as a form of cybercrime. One aspect of kompromat that stands the test of time is that the compromising information is often sexual in nature

And let's not forget the republicans favorite "enticer" MONEY....... Russian money!

They published the democratic emails and put the republican kompromat to good use.
