James Comey: 'It's Possible' the Trump Pee Tape is Real

Good Morning America previewed George Stephanopoulos‘ interview with James Comey on Friday, and the two talked about the salacious allegations against Donald Trump from the controversial Christopher Steele Dossier.

A portion of the FBI director’s upcoming book A Higher Truth states that Trump asked the former FBI director to look into the rumors that Moscow possesses a tape of him and Russian hookers performing gross sex acts in a hotel room, which the Kremlin is supposedly using as blackmail. When this came up with Stephanopoulos, Comey began by recalling how his first interactions with Trump involved the president asking him to help reject the notion Russian meddling had an impact on the 2016 election. Comey found it odd, especially since there weren’t any questions on how to stop it from happening again.

“No one, to my recollection, asked ‘what’s coming next from the Russians? How might we stop it? What’s the future look like?’ It was all, what can we say about what they did and how it affects the election that we just had.”


As Comey recalled his briefings with Trump on the “golden shower” rumor, he described the weirdness of the situation as “almost an out-of-body experience for me.” As Comey remarked on how strange it was that Melania Trump thinks the tape could exist, Stephanopoulos asked him whether he believed Trump’s denial of the whole thing.

His answer:

“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. It’s possible, but I don’t know.”

Are we seeing the behavior of a blackmailed president? Has Putin had to issue direct orders, or is he so far content to let Trump's Trumpiness dismantle the power of the West? Is kompromat going to be leaked to the public, and if so, when?

Are Access Hollywood tapes already being used to steer our president? Can we just go ahead and assume they contain a lot of misogynistic bluster, and is the n-word a given?

I think that a blackmailed Trump would behave erratically and be paranoid--but I'm not sure how we would ever know the difference.

in order to promote his version of a reality show, to manipulate the voters and is now POTUS. Trump is in a position to promote Russian interest in the world market, and give Putin every benefit of the doubt in every world wide nefarious act...Crimea, Brexit, European elections, etc etc.

Human trafficking is rampant in Putin's Russia, and the girls that get trafficked are usually underage. If Putin was trying to compromise Trump there is a 100% chance he sent girls to his room that were as young as possible. Why would he go though all that trouble only to send girls over 18 to Trump? I guarantee Trump wasn't checking IDs at the door. They probably found a couple girls 13 or 14 years old that looked 19 as to not raise suspicion in Trump.

Anyone who doesn't acknowledge that this tape's real power is likely because of the age of the girls isn't thinking.

It's either 13 or 14 year old girls, or it's boys. No chance Putin doesn't maximize his leverage by using underage girls or boys.

When Russia was still the USSR, my dad was given permission to visit his dying mother in Latvia, at that time still under Russian control. Dad was no one special, but everyday his hotel room was bugged. They knew where he went and when he told his friend who was visiting him in his room that he planned to go to his family home outside of the allowed parameter, he instantly got a call instructing him that this was not allowed. He said this to his friend on purpose because he wanted to prove that his room was bugged, which he suspected from the first day.

Trump was bugged each and every trip. Guaranteed.
