Two days ago, a dossier was leaked by Buzzfeed claiming Russia had substantial dirt on President-elect Donald Trump. Trump. That dossier, penned by a former MI-6 agent, claimed that among other things Russia had video recordings of Trump hosting a “golden shower party” with Russian prostitutes in the presidential suite of the Moscow Ritz-Carlton.
There are huge doubts about the reliability of the report, which was riddled with spelling errors. The BBC however appears to be tying to keep the story going, with foreign correspondent Paul Wood claiming that a second dossier exists from a second source.
The second dossier, which so far hasn’t been mentioned by anyone else, is said to contain further accusations of Russia having “audio and video” of a sexual nature about Trump, claiming “more than one tape” and “more than one date” at multiple locations.
Wood claimed to have indirectly spoken to CIA officers about it, saying that the material involved audio and video from both Moscow and St. Petersberg. The existing dossier also mentioned Trump hiring prostitutes in St. Petersberg, and having wild parties there.
Of course, there is even less information on this new dossier than the dubious one that we’ve already seen, and several British MPs were critical of the BBC for continuing to fan the flames of a story that has no real evidence backing up what are increasingly outrageous accusations.
President-elect Trump had already threatened to make Buzzfeed “suffer the consequences” for releasing the first dossier, and is also ignoring questions from both CNN and the BBC now related to the coverage of the accusations. That the BBC is the British state media outlet is liable to risk US-UK relations in the Trump Administration.
I don’t think Trump ‘threatened’ Buzzfeed they would ‘suffer the consequences’; i.e. that it would be by actions initiated by Trump; he just said ‘I think they will suffer the consequences – they already are’, e.g. of their own actions.
Big difference.
I’m starting to wonder if the British spooks would like to have hostile relations to the US.
that would be great. screw the Brits and Nato
I am beginning to think this is some kind of clumsy Ukrainian false flag operation. Let’s not forget the sinister PropOrNot website’s admission that some of its staff are Ukrainian-American. Kiev certainly has a huge motive to discredit Trump.
One of Trump’s pals has rammed Gawker into the ground and keeps going because they outed him as gay (guy has some kind of revenge fetish). To all evidence, this Buzzfeed story has been totally made up by such a professional source as 4chan (http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-01-11/archived-posts-prove-4chan-trolled-cia-trump-golden-shower-story-entire-russian-hack). If Trump decides to do the Gawker treatment (and he has all reasons to do so), adios Buzzfeed!
Also, Goddammit Jason, it is “St.Petersburg” NOT “St. Petersberg”. It’s not a mountain, it’s a city!
Named after Czar Peter’s favorite namesake saint.
Today the world champions of fake news do not live in the USA or the UK but in Moscow, Russia. Compared to them our fakers are bloody amateurs. Even the Chinese are beginners compared to Putin et al.
What a horrible article for anti-war.com. In the first place, Trump did not ignore CNN, he let them ask a question. After that, Bob Costas made a fool of himself by yelling at Trump — demanding CNN be granted another question over the hundreds of other reporters. He didn’t ignore Bob, he informed him he wouldn’t call on him again.
The second idiotic idea in this article is that Trump’s refusal to let the BBC ask a question would somehow hurt relations with Britain … how utterly foolish. BBC is just beating the war drums with Russia, I can’t believe antiwar.com wants the president to coddle to this war propaganda network; furthermore, many British hate the BBC and know they are just neoliberal stooges. Has the author heard of Briexit?
Who needs Britain? Latinos are the future.
You are dead on. Have you heard Sibel Edmonds thoughts on this website?
This is a huge step up in the personal attack on a President, that we saw against Obama and Bill Clinton.
All of those were attempts to defeat election results, and prevent power transition over the Deep State of long serving bureaucrats.
Hoover at the old FBI supposedly threatened Presidents, but he never actually did it.
What we see is a culmination of a long-escalating attack on our democratic institutions and transfer of power.
If at first you don’t succeed…
The communists have taken over the IC of the UK as well.. just more fake news from the left..
