For better or worse, James B. Comey's new book has forced us to talk about an allegation involving President Trump and urinating Russian prostitutes. It'd be better if we didn't dwell upon it.
The Steele dossier's allegation that Trump watched prostitutes, uh, micturate upon themselves in a Moscow hotel room — and the idea that Russian President Vladimir Putin is using it as kompromat against Trump — is kibble for Trump's opponents. Until this week, though, it had largely been relegated to social media jokes and an occasional glancing reference on cable news.
But just like Trump's use of a profanity to describe African nations — and the largely uncorroborated Steele dossier itself — the allegation has been pushed into the mainstream. According to Comey, Trump is fixated upon it. He wrote that Trump devoted a fair amount of time arguing to him that it wasn't true, even asking Comey to launch an investigation to disprove it.
Comey's recounting has even led New York magazine's Jonathan Chait to declare himself a “peeliever,” a term that probably describes a growing number of Americans right now who think Trump's reaction to the book lends credence to the allegation.

These a-holes have absolutely no shame.
Translation:
The WAPOS realizes this is making Comey look like a petty little creep and is actually helping Trump.
Right... because innocent people never defend themselves against lies and slander.
Typical lib comment. We should not talk about it because it’s a distraction. Not because it’s ludicrous but because it’s a distraction.
Washington Post prints it then some moron on FR takes the bait and posts it.
“There are much worse allegations in that Steele dossier, including the newly substantiated claim about Michael Cohen visiting Prague. This one just happens to be the most personal, and it’s understandable why you’d react negatively to such an allegation being made against you.
And even if you disagree with all of that, there’s this: It’s counterproductive for Trump’s opponents. What better way to make it look like you are willing to believe the worst thing about Trump at all times? What better way for Trump to argue that his opponents are frivolously focused on using whatever rumor and innuendo they can find against him, no matter how over-the-top and evidence-free?
Comey put this out there, and I understand why; Trump allegedly complained about it, and that may say something about Trump. The jokes were probably never going to stop, but that doesn’t mean it’s productive for anyone involved. Let’s wait until we have real evidence beyond Trump’s thin skin.”
He’s really saying we’ll look like asses when this turns out to be a charade.
Cohen has said he has never been to Prague in his life.
Mike Wallace called him “ Bitchy”
What do they mean “newly substantiated” claim about Michael Cohen visiting Prague? I thought that had been discredited over a year ago?

You can say that again.
You can say that again.
You can say that again.
Especially since the WAPO published an editorial by McCabes’ wife allowing her to defend the corrupt FBI leadership.
Let’s focus on the witnesses who saw Bill Clinton be given a gift at dinner on Pedo Island. The gift was two brunette Russian young teenaged girls. When he retreated from the table with them, I’m sure he went to read them poems from his famous Walt Whitman book.
Frankly, we have bigger fish to fry than anything Trump did with Russian prostitutes, and I doubt he did much, as they are known to be drug addicted and carrying diseases.
From the great beyond?
In short they are STILL trying to damage Trump with the Steele dossier.
I better have another cup of coffee-Chris.
E. Pluribus Unum is not a moron, and I am glad he posted from WaPo! If not for that post, I would not have ever heard of a ‘peeliever’...
and people wonder why the quality of discussion here has gone to hell...
There are a lot of sick son-of-a-bitches out there that will say anything, dream up anything and/or create anything to discredit Trump. Too bad he is not more like Hitlary Clinton in seeking revenge, people who speak ill of her often wind up six feet under.
