I mean if the Daily Mail found it then you can be sure that foreign intelligence found it way earlier. There's a reason you're supposed to do background checks and vetting for high level government officials. Since Trump doesn't give a shit about all that I wouldn't be surprised if more of his cronies aren't actively being blackmailed.

Also possible that Daily Mail found it out *from* foreign intelligence, maybe even as a consequence of Noem losing her value as a source.

Donvict is more worried about how they look - he is more concerned that they look like they came out of "central casting". The stupid dumbass thinks this is Hollywood.

Background checks are more to find actual wrongdoing like criminal activity. It's more a problem of current American society that this is considered blackmail material at all.
