Comey: Its possible that so-called pee tape is real

Source: The Hill

Former FBI Director James Comey admits in a new interview that he doesn't know if the so-called "pee tape" — one of the more salacious items in the "Steele dossier" — exists.

The "golden showers" allegation, which first surfaced in the unverified dossier created by former British intelligence operative Christopher Steele, claims Trump ordered two prostitutes to urinate on a bed once used by the Obamas at the Moscow Ritz-Carlton.

In excerpts from an interview airing on an ABC News "20/20" special this Sunday, Comey says that its "possible" that the alleged incident occurred, and that he was careful not to tell Trump whether he believed the allegations or not.

“I honestly never thought this 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 told ABC. “It's possible, but I don't know.”

1. If i remember correctly in Dec. 2016 or Jan. 2017 when the pee pee story came out Trump said:

"Fake news besides I know where they hide the cameras too." ROUGH QUOTE

The pee pee tape was reportedly made in Nov. 2013 but in June 2013 Trump
is reported have gone to a pee pee show in Los Vegas w/some of the same people who
in June of 2016 met w/Trump Jr, Kushner, & Manafort @ Trump Tower in NYC.

<In a new book being published on Tuesday, “Russian Roulette: The Inside Story of Putin’s War on America and the Election of Donald Trump,” the co-authors Michael Isikoff and David Corn report an anecdote suggesting that so-called golden showers were a form of entertainment familiar to some in Trump’s circle, even if not necessarily to Trump himself. According to the authors, both of whom are veteran, Washington-based investigative reporters, in the early-morning hours of June 15, 2013, some five months before the alleged Moscow incident, Trump visited a Las Vegas night club called the Act that was infamous for its sexually explicit theatre shows. Among the skits regularly performed at the Act were two in which semi-nude women would simulate urination onstage. As Isikoff and Corn note, it is unclear whether these skits were performed on the night that Trump visited the club. But court records confirm that they were in the club’s regular repertoire.>

He'll try firing Sessions, or Rosenstein, or Mueller, and the tape will get released at once . Then more will become exposed against him and his involvement in many things.

7. Why Else Would The Cheeto-Colored Clown Want Comey To "Prove" It Didn't Exist?

I don't need to have the FBI investigate stories about a tape of my cavorting with prostitutes or paying hush money or meeting with space aliens because I know for a fact that none of that stuff ever happened.

You don't ask the head of the FBI to investigate "Allegations" that a tape may exist.

Unless it happened.

It can't be any simpler than that, he wanted to know if a recording exists and there can't be a recording if it didn't happen, circular logic? Or maybe just flippin obvious?.💧

9. Innocent people don't behave the way Trump does

It would be one thing if all we had to go on was the allegation fits Trump's behaviors, but given his obsession over the issue you know it happened regardless of whether the hard evidence will ever see the light of day.

10. If tRump was innocent and knew that he had never participated in the Pee Pee incident
Fri Apr 13, 2018, 12:40 PM
Apr 2018

he could relax and not be concerned that a tape of his escapades in Moscow would some day come back to haunt him. Only a guilty man would get his knickers in a twist about a tape that could would be embarrassing and a political nightmare to explain. Ironic that tRump can’t figure out if you have done nothing, you have nothing to worry about. I thought he was “like a really smart person”.

11. Trump's Stormy Daniels tweets show how easy he is to blackmail

A man who dispenses cash for secrets this easily is a risky man to have in office




Putin may have an extensive file on trump including the pee tape. If trump is willing to jump through this many hoops and tell this many lies just for an one-night stand, think what trump will do to keep the pee tape quiet
