    Well that reads as if the Putin part could be a joke. If you remember, it was a common theory online at the time (or was it later?) that Putin has some kind of video on Trump and that’s why he’s so pro-Russia. As of now I don’t think any such video has been released? But I could easily see them joking about Putin having photos or a video of something that happened for real on Jeffy E’s island.

      Or, it could be what they wrote in a private email exchange and the video pootin has is one of drumpf blowing bubba. If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it’s probably kompromat.

        It could very well be, I’m just saying this isn’t a smoking gun that Putin necessarily has the photos, but the thing having happened is implied more strongly.

        I don’t know any more than you do, but that’s just how it sounds to me: the thing likely happened, the existence of photos is implied too, but the Putin part could be meant either seriously or jokingly. That part sounds kinda iffy to me.
