Why the lewd Trump-Russian prostitutes allegation is a distraction, and we should all be careful

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.

They (Jonathan Chait and others) think it is a clever soundbite!

I had to go to WP to see if it really said that, and it does. Seems they just gave Cohen cause to add them to his lawsuit. Comey didn’t want to look into golden showers lore because he knew it was fake! Trump was testing him and Comey came up ... short. That whole tale was made up on chans and then HRC’s slime Dept fed through FusionGPS - certainly such is / was knowable and was known ... The conversation should have been Comey telling Trump, “no need, the whole thing was made up, we can’t believe anybody would even be stupid enough to believe it, at least that’s what the author has said” - except he’d taken it to FISC for FISA. Comey is truly a despicable person!

It is good that a Freeper published this WAPO piece. We need to know our enemies. Better to read here and read Freeper comments. Some of them anyway.

Has anyone actually seen the new evidence claiming that Cohen did go to Prague? I saw something on Twitter, but it wasn’t evidence, just another anonymous source.

That’s what I’m saying. What’s the new evidence?

No, there’s no ‘evidence’. From what I see it’s an amateurish spinning of ‘what if’ scenarios.

‘What if’ it was a secret private plane trip and he was in disguise and left immediately? It’s not 100% impossible, so it must be true...

The WashPo can't resist publishing bologna to incite race... For their information, Trump referred to shitholes in both Africa and Asia.

From a 20/20 interview Comey speaking with Stephenopolus. "Ex-FBI Director James Comey said “it’s possible”President Trump was with hookers “peeing on each other” in Moscow, according to excerpts of a new interview released Friday. “I honestly never thought these words would come out of my mouth, but I don’t know whether the current president of the United States was with prostitutes peeing on each other in Moscow in 2013,” Comey said in a “20/20” episode set to air Sunday. “It’s possible, but I don’t know.”

IT IS POSSIBLE but damned improbable.
IT IS POSSIBLE that Comey is a child molester. This is also damned improbable.
IT IS POSSIBLE Comey lied under oath. No a proven fact it is.
IT IS POSSIBLE Comey leaked illegally. No a proven fact it is.
IT IS POSSIBLE Comey covered up Hillary's multiple felonies. No a proven fact it is.
IT IS POSSIBLE that Comey mislead the Fisa Court. No a proven fact it is.
IT IS POSSIBLE Comey engaged in conspiracy with the leaders of the Justice Department to defeat Donald Trump. Engaged with an ex foreign agent (Steele) to defeat Donald Trump. Via Steele he was also engaging with the Russians. No it is a proven fact.
IT IS POSSIBLE the FBI did not itself investigate the DNC servers that were alleged to be hacked. No it is a proven fact.
IT IS POSSIBLE that Comey was once a board member of the Clinton Foundation and received millions of dollars from contractors closely associated with the Clintons. No it is a proven fact. Following an except from the Washington Standard, "Comey is noted as receiving $6 million in one year along from Lockheed Martin, who is a Clinton Foundation donor, and became a donor in the same year Comey received those funds. "

Comey is a serial liar, perjurer, a political operative of the Clinton campaign, corrupt and not a supporter of constitutional law which demands equal justice for all. He is motivated by power, money, fame and ego. He is so damn corrupt I think if he thought Trump would win he would have done it for Trump. The man is to be despised. His old boss Mueller is worse.
