I know you are making fun of this situation but...
Law officials met with a Russian in Berlin who wanted a million for it

Part of that effort, the officials said, appears to be trying to spread information that hews closely to unsubstantiated reports about Mr. Trump’s dealings in Russia, including the purported video, whose existence Mr. Trump has repeatedly dismissed.
Rumors that Russian intelligence possesses the video surfaced more than a year ago in an explosive and unverified dossier compiled by a former British spy and paid for by Democrats. Since then, at least four Russians with espionage and underworld connections have appeared in Central and Eastern Europe, offering to sell kompromat to American political operatives, private investigators and spies that would corroborate the dossier, American and European intelligence officials said.
I am but I'm not.
There was always this argument that went "why would Trump care about a pee tape enough to be compromised? Nothing else has tanked him, and he seems to not give a shit about anything." Which Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal getting paid off by Trump toadies throws a bit of cold water on that. It was always a question of whether Trump considered these things to be damaging for his image, damaging enough to try and take steps to prevent their release, not whether they actually are damaging in reality, and clearly he was worried about these things more than a lot of contrarians thought. Heck, more than I thought.
But honestly, if there is a working relationship, or an attempt at one, it probably had little to do with a pee tape. Trump fell into financial trouble after a slew of bankruptcies and was having a difficult time securing loans, which led him to seek out alternative funding. He was seemingly bailed out by a number of places that all seem to have something in common. From Deutsche Bank, that loaned him 100's of millions of dollars around the same time they got caught laundering billions for the Russians, Bayrock, that helped develop Trump SoHo, which it was alleged a lot of money laundering occurred with from whistle blowers, and oligarchs in Russia that bought property well above market rates to clean their money with as Trump looked the other way and went on to eventually pay for his Miss Universe in Moscow to the tune of tens of millions. The same Miss Universe pageant Trump held hour long meetings with higher up members of the Kremlin and Kremlin tied oligarchs:
D. TRUMP: I really loved my weekend. I called it my weekend in Moscow. But I was with the top-level people, both oligarchs and generals and top-of-the-government people. I can't go further than that, but I will tell you that I met the top people.
Meetings which were later confirmed by people like Agalarov on Russian TV, that they spent a lot of time discussing political matters with Trump. So yeah, for me it’s enough to not handwave this coordination stuff as fever dreams.
