“Cody Shearer, an American political operative with ties to the Democratic Party, has been crisscrossing Eastern Europe for more than six months to secure the purported kompromat from a different Russian”
This doesn’t surprise me. Dem Senators trying to do the same thing ==> Mission Impossible since it doesn’t exist!
Maybe it’s an effort to incorporate ‘kompromat’ into the American language before people stop to wonder why their congresscritter Adam Schiff is so familiar with it he uses it lie a native.
