In 2016 it was dirt on Hillary from “Russia, if you’re listening -“

Last month, a whistle-blower in the intelligence community filed a complaint about the president of the United States making inappropriate promises to a foreign leader. The whistle-blower, who has not been identified, alerted the inspector general of the intelligence community, Michael Atkinson, to multiple actions by Trump, including a promise made during a phone call.
The complaint so alarmed the inspector general that he labeled it a matter of “urgent concern” and alerted the acting director of national intelligence, Joseph Maguire.
