There's a long history of the Kremlin using kompromat.

"Putin's spokesman said Wednesday that the Russian government does not gather compromising material, or kompromat, on political rivals, despite a well-documented history of such behavior." (the rest of the article is worth the read)

"There is also apparent confirmation that the Kremlin possesses kompromat, or potentially compromising material, on the future president, collected – the document says – from Trump’s earlier 'non-official visits to Russian Federation territory'."

About the same leak and also worth reading

I’m not saying this never occurs. I studied russia/easten Europe for years and am very familiar with the kremlin’s history. Of course it happens. It’s one of their bread and butter tactics.

I’m saying that the string of events this person is theorizing is cut whole cloth from speculation. I think we can both acknowledge that.

Just because something “makes sense” doesn’t mean it’s true.
