THE LETTER IN THE BLACK LACQUERED BOX.

One of the Trump mysteries that has never been cleared up involves the black lacquered box. This was the "gift" presented to Trump at the Miss Universe office in New York in November of 2013 by the daughter of an oligarch. The box, supposedly from Vladimir Putin contained a sealed letter from Putin or the oligarch, Aras Agalorov. The contents of that letter has never been revealed. Being an incredible narcissist, one can assume if it were flattering, Trump would have bragged about its complimentary contents. But he didn't. This leads me to suspect it was a threat, the opening salvo to blackmailing Trump with a videotape or other evidence of his illegal dealings in Moscow, which must have been pretty shameful to  launch him on his unwavering devotion to Putin. This letter, if it still exists, is a highly desirable item to Mueller's investigation.  One wonders.
