Where is the evidence of Russian blackmail of the President?

Washington Post:
Fired FBI director Comey says Trump is ‘morally unfit’ and may be vulnerable to Russian blackmail

In his first televised interview since being fired, James B. Comey took aim at President Trump in no uncertain terms, comparing his administration to a mafia family, likening his presidency to a forest fire and asserting there was evidence that he had committed a crime. The interview aired just days before Comey is set to release a book and begin promoting it.
What would Russia blackmail the President about?  The dirty dossier is a bust.  The only thing the FBI has verified is that Carter Page took a trip to Russia, but they can't verify that he met with the people alleged in the Dossier.  That is it.  The FBI got nothing out of their surveillance of Page's communications.  Nothing. 

Comey joins John Brennan with this discredited allegation and neither has produced an iota of proof to back it up.  You would think that if Putin had anything on Trump he would have used it by now in the light of the heavy sanctions visited on Russia since Trump has been in office and the recent attack on Putin's gas ally Assad in Syria.

The Post has a lot of people working for it who want the Russian collusion story to be true, but it has yet to produce any evidence of it.  It manufactures a scandal a week hoping to get Trump, but like a dog barking at a caravan, Trump keeps doing what he promised in the election and none of it fits the narrative of blackmail.  In fact, Trump is doing a better job of keeping his campaign promises than Obama or any other recent President.

It is idiotic to think that Russia wants the US to develop its energy potential or grow its economy.  It makes no sense to think that Russia wants the US to rebuild its military or destroy Assad's WMD operation.  All of this makes me think that Comey and Brennan are irrational actors who just do not like the President.
