Sergei Millian, a Belarus-born businessman who was the source of the pee-tape allegations in the infamous Steele dossier, built a close relationship with Trump aide George Papadopoulos in 2016 and offered to serve as a go-between for the Trump campaign and an author with connections to the Russian government, the Washington Post reports.
The new report suggests Millian was closer to Trumps campaign than was previously known.

(17,984 posts)Where was the public outrage? Maybe on Rachel. I just don't see a pee tape as representing more than a very minor transgression compared with meeting in private with the enemy of the free world.

(29,034 posts)"outrage" would satisfy you -- He's being investigated at the highest levels of government, including a Democratic House that just kicked his party to the curb in a major way.

(17,984 posts)As far as I can remember, there were none related to the news drop last week.
My point is that, if being buddy buddy with Putin doesn't generate enough outrage in your average American that they go out and protest, what chance will the release of a pee tape have to spark disgust? It's a minor infraction in the greater scheme of things.
whathehell
(29,034 posts)That's what was happening last week
As for protest marches, I'm not sure they're that effective.
I'll take investigations and massive voter turnouts any day.

(15,543 posts)so undoubtedly the pee tape qualifies as "Biblically cool" under republican family-values standards.
ScratchCat
(1,977 posts)that the allegation was too specific to be fabricated. If someone was going to make up something, they would have stopped with "They have a tape of Trump with hookers". But the whole pee story? No way someone dreamed that up. No possible way.

(386 posts)A fabrication wouldn't be so... just, weird. I believe it happened.
Seeing Trump gleefully watching girls pee on what he thought of as "the Obama's bed" would shock very few people anymore... we know his character far too well for that. And it's also true that compared to so much else he's guilty of, this, alone, is minor.
But it will still be important because it will be proof of Russia having had "kompromat" on him since 2013.
If the video does ever surface in public, though, expect it to be quickly followed by several fake ones of the same and similar activities, in which Trump's head has been digitally overlaid onto some other fat disgusting fucker's body. I forget where I read that the FSB or GRU has already made these, but it makes sense and I don't doubt it. Some will be relatively obvious fakes, others will look perfectly real. The technology now exists to do this and make videos indistinguishable from reality. The objective, of course, will be to confuse the matter, taint all Trump perversion videos, and provide a context for insisting that they're all fakes.

(4,484 posts)Nothing bothers them.
They don't have the ability to care about people. That flaw greatly influences all they do.
Because they cannot care, empathize, sympathize, or feel emotions for other human beings, all of their outrage is fake anyway.
