New attacks on Donald Trump surfaced claiming that the Russian government may be using compromising information which it has on the President Elect to blackmail him. In defending himself, Trump compared the situation to Nazi Germany.
Intelligence agencies should never have allowed this fake news to "leak" into the public. One last shot at me.Are we living in Nazi Germany?

It is not clear to any educated person just how any such rumors, no matter how baseless they may be, could in any way have anything to do with what the Germans did during World War II. While neither the truth nor accuracy have ever stopped Donald Trump before, one might have thought that given his daughter Ivanka Trump is a convert to Judaism, he may have held back from playing the Nazi card.
Donald Trump asked on Twitter, “Are we living in Nazi Germany?” No we are not Mr. Trump. But what does Nazi Germany have to do with anything. Maybe a comparison to McCarthyism would have been acceptable, but not this.
Russia has never tried to use leverage over me. I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH RUSSIA – NO DEALS, NO LOANS, NO NOTHING!

We will not repeat certain specifics which were reported and have not been verified by any credible news agencies. But rumors that the Russians had dirt on Republicans as well as Democrats from their hacking of Americans have been circulating for months.
Russian government spokesman Dmitry Peskov also rejected the claims saying, “The Kremlin does not have compromising information about Trump. It’s a total hoax, absolute fabrication and utter nonsense. The Kremlin does not collect compromising information.”
Russia just said the unverified report paid for by political opponents is "A COMPLETE AND TOTAL FABRICATION, UTTER NONSENSE." Very unfair!
