Report: Russia Has Trump Golden Showers Blackmail

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by DonViejo (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

Source: The Daily Beast

Russian intelligence officers planned to blackmail Donald Trump with knowledge of his alleged "perverted sexual acts," a new report obtained by Buzzfeed alleges. The unverified report by a person claiming to be a former British intelligence official alleges that Russian officials intended to blackmail Trump with evidence of him allegedly hiring multiple sex workers to perform "golden showers" in front of him. The hotel where the acts allegedly occurred were said to be under Russian surveillance.

It's not about what is wrong with me. It is about what is wrong with the public.

The 2005 tapes didn't phase the public. We saw that.

I simply suspect this will have a greater impact. My opinion, of course, but I think the American public is less tolerant of golden showers in Russia than they are of assault in the US.

...at least prostitutes peeing are supposedly consentual. If DT'S lips bragging on video that he assaulted women wouldn't do it, why would this? They will just call it fake because they really don't care. They hate liberals and Dems so much that DT, "could shoot someone on 5th Ave" and not lose his supporters. Congress could issue subpoenas...except they won't because they want to buy time to ram their judges and policies through.

Holy shit is Trump dirty. And I had no idea Trump's lawyer, Cohen, and Cohen's Russian wife, were such big players in the secret Trump dealings with Russia.. And it looks like Trump was actually spying for Russia, reporting on the activities of Russian oligarchs in the US, something Putin is apparently obsessed with.


Good God this man should not be in the White House. He should be in jail.

The report doesn't specifically claim they peed on him (and he's supposedly a major germophobe) ... so he was maybe more of a spectator?

It's an eye-catching allegation (and one that's already causing ribald hilarity all over Twitter), but absolutely nowhere near the most serious allegation in the document.

And not entirely implausible. But I'd rather suspend judgment on that one (while enjoying some of the ribald jokes it's provoking on Twitter etc.!) and use the word "allegedly" a whole lot.

I wonder if anyone in the media will have the gumption to ask him outright to publicly deny it?

It's not quite the gravitas of office we've been spoiled with over the last 8 years, is it?

Tue Jan 10, 2017, 08:20 PM
Jan 2017

I'm wary of fixating on the golden showers aspect because unless there's actual uncontrovertible clear video (heaven forbid), it's unprovable, and I'm thinking of Dan Rather here. It would go a few ways: "How could anyone in their right minds believe he'd do a thing like that" (hi, Kellyanne) or "It's no more or less than what I'd expect of the ole pussy-grabber" or "Big deal." It's certainly grabbing a few headlines at the moment.

OTOH, Trump et al. can't really prove a negative - "Here's definitive proof Donald J. Trump has never paid ladies of the night to relieve themselves on each other on a hotel bed formerly occupied by FLOTUS" - so it's damaging in what may be a relatively trivial sense (especially as we know how thin-skinned Trump is, and he's already being roundly ridiculed about it on his Twitter feed), but the meat is, as you say, the other allegations, and that one is just a part of potentially explosive blackmail material the Russians may hold.

Wed Jan 11, 2017, 06:20 AM

...assuming it is true. It looks shady. However, most things we knew anyway...Comey’s attempt to throw election (now he says he can't comment on an ongoing investigation. ..another totally disgusting, smug, hypocritical Republican); Trump's loans from Russia; that Russia had goods on Trump; that Trump's camp was communication with Russian about the election; on and on. Still, it pisses me off that the press and elected officials sat on this until after the election and the electoral college vote, as the evidence became stronger and stronger. Trump's lawyer will eventually be disbarred. I suspect, like Putin, when he realized the election interference had caused too much smoke, he fired the most tainted ones, and replaced them with "clean" ones (in the report), DT will do the same. The pawns will take the fall. I think the facts in the report are legit, but I'm not sure the report itself is.

Tue Jan 10, 2017, 08:07 PM

The problems:

1. He did it in Russia, where intelligence agencies have long used sex as a blackmail weapon
2. He's about to be entrusted with America's deepest secrets
3. The implication is, Russian intelligence has video of Trump engaged in REALLY bad - as in, "this will get your ass either thrown in jail or shot anywhere in the world" - sex acts, and they'd be willing to release the tapes to the press if Trump doesn't provide them with plenty of top-quality classified information.

This could be an inoculation. Remember the Bush AWOL letter? The information was factual but the memo typeface was forged. When this was pointed out it effectively inoculated Bush from any further National Guard controversy.

I don't put a lot of stock in Zerohedge in general, but who knows right now?

I really have no idea what's true, but will leave this link here for folks to evaluate and comment upon as they see fit:

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-01-10/4chan-claims-have-fabricated-anti-trump-report-hoax

Regardless of the veracity (or lack thereof) of the above link, I think your caution is very warranted at this stage, Jayster84.

Wed Jan 11, 2017, 12:37 AM

There are a lot of factual rebuttals of the 4Chan theory out there, but there's one major problem with it that encapsulates it all:

Pwn All The Things@pwnallthethings

Seeing a lot of people try to say the June 20 memo is based off a Nov 1 4chan thread. ¯_(ツ _/¯


So ZeroHedge is as reliable as ever.

Now, that doesn't by any means imply the Watersportsgate story's true or provable, but it's what they're going with at the moment.

Similarly, some things in those memos will probably pan out and others won't.

Given that the lovely Kellyanne's best shot so far has been to shriek FAKE! and claim that Trump was "unaware" he'd been briefed about it (which, if the reports so far are correct, would imply that Trump either never looked at the dossier during his intelligence briefing, or at least not at the two-page addendum appended to it), I'd imagine there's currently a lot of feverish second-guessing in the Trump camp about what they can plausibly deny or not.

As ever, an offense may be bad enough, but an attempted cover-up is often what sinks people: "It depends what you mean by the word 'piss' ..." may be the least of their worries.

He was furious and barely managed to stammer out his fauxpology.

DJT almost consistently displays behaviors consistent with narcissism. When someone who doesn't have that form of personality disorder is outed for something humiliating, the first response is usually defensiveness, then apology motivated by shame. With narcissistic behavior, the response is anger, because the "people" who are making the N feel bad are not entirely people in the N's head. (To use a video game analogy, we're the non-player characters to their player characters; to use a toy box analogy, we're the toys. We're not supposed to talk back.)

Narcissists are extremely sensitive to humiliation and shame, but their means of dealing with it are fury, rage and acting out. They don't have much in the way of internal resources for processing shame. The central conflict of a narcissist's internal life is that they don't entirely believe that other people are actually real (narcissism has some deep ties to solipsism) but they're deeply reliant on the approval and adulation that the not-entirely-real people provide, because they cannot provide their own self-approval.

Note that what gets under the Mendacity's skin are not accusations that align with his supporters' worst behaviors -- they're supporters, they're the toys that are behaving like good toys, so anyone who criticizes based on what the good toys are doing is just jealous that they don't have good toys. When DJT acts out, it's because the toys he wants to approve of him are dismissive or critical. His meltdowns are predictable -- when someone is dismissive of him personally, of his performances, of his sense of self, especially if that person is a) someone he feels superior to, or b) someone whom his aspires to collect.

I grew up with a pair of narcissists and entered my profession in part because of their behavior. Narcissism is baffling to anyone who hasn't lived with it, but for those of us who have and escaped, it's extremely predictable.

But I'm really really leery of being hoist on the petard of "fake news" coming from our side. Or what can be spun as "fake news".

Better to let this play out, so we know what we've got here.

Tue Jan 10, 2017, 10:24 PM
Jan 2017

The fuller story is giving me pause that we're being set-up.

The story I've read is that the prostitutes peed on the bed that Obama and Michele had stayed in a few months earlier, as T directed and watched.

Do I think T is capable of this? Yes. He's a disgusting predator and a visceral racist but somehow the Obama tie-in is making me wonder if it's a scenario where a fake story is planted and then when it's later debunked, it works to cast doubt on all the other Russian hack and collusion and blackmail stories, which are in fact true.

It's a kind of Breitbart double fake out.

There's something so extreme about this version. T knows about hotels and hidden cameras. I can't believe he'd be so stupid as to ask for this kind of thing in Russia.

We should take care to not be played. The real story is the Russian control over T and Tillerson and not this salacious set of extreme images

So this hotel was managed by the FSB who had cameras everywhere, yet Trump supposedly got that exact Hotel room because the Obama's stayed there. That's the whole premise that Trump hired the watersport strippers to pee on the bed because that's the bed the Obama's slept in.

Somehow i can't imagine Obama staying in a FSB controlled and monitored hotel room.
