This evening, Buzzfeed News published a dossier full of Donald Trump gossip that has apparently been circulating among politicians, intelligence officials, and journalists. The claims include allegations that Trump rented out the same Moscow hotel room that the Obamas stayed in and hired a pair of prostitutes to perform a golden showers show in front of him. Additionally, they allege, among much else, that Trump adopted pro-Russia policy positions in exchange for the Russian governments help hacking into the DNC.
The documents have been circulating in Washington circles for months, according to Buzzfeed, and while journalists have made occasional reference to their contents, nobody has published them until now. CNN reported on them this afternoon and said that Trump and President Obama had received copies. They also reported that John McCain tried to give FBI director James Comey a copy, but that Comey had been sitting on one already.
As Buzzfeed makes clear, the documents are highly unverified, and their author makes a series of errors. (They were supposedly prepared by a former British intelligence agent who was, according to CNNs sources, in charge of collecting damning information on Trump, first for groups and donors supporting his Republican rivals and then for groups and donors supporting the Hillary Clinton campaign.) They may very well be bullshit, but given that they were being read by and presumably to some extent informing the judgments of our nations senior political leaders and journalists, they are clearly a matter of legitimate public interest, and not just because they raise the notion of Donald Trump watching prostitutes piss all over a bed.

(6,154 posts)It may sound "shocking" but it really doesn't matter if it's true or not. To be honest I personally think the prostitute angle is slim pickings compared to stuff trump actively made part of his camping and was caught saying and doing. This is a man who openly ran on a campaign of racism and mysogeny. He didn't deny saying that he has basically sexually molested women. He openly mocked disabled people on camera. His conflicts of interest are so numerous you would have to hire a full time accountant just to keep track of them. All that and he still won. It doesn't look like the Russian hacking scandal is going to go anywhere. If this story does have any legs it's the Russian angle that might be important. The prostitute thing, well to be honest sexual impropriety and the presidency isn't exactly new news. Going all the way back to Kennedy presidents have had affairs or hired hookers it seems. I'm not going to say that's good but it's not really important in my mind. Certainly not next to the stuff Trump openly said day after day after day after day on the campaign trail.
