About those Trump tapes... Schindler: "There are real Trump kompromat tapes. They are very ugly."

There are real Trump kompromat tapes. They are very ugly.

And there are a whole lot of dodgy and/or fake ones.



From Schindler's article at the Observer:

Spies Suspect Kremlin Is Pushing Dozens of Fake Trump Sex Tapes

... snip

Then there are the allegations that the president’s penchant for pretty girls does not always pay attention to the age of consent. One woman who’s claimed that Trump raped her when she was just 13 years old has repeatedly filed suit against the president, only to drop the case each time, most recently last year. That’s connected to the mysterious case of Jeffrey Epstein, the billionaire hedge-funder and convicted sex offender, whose “friends list” reads like a who’s-who of the male half of America’s rich and powerful.

President Trump is on that list, and rumors have swirled for years about his participation in Epstein’s underage sex escapades. There appear to be connections between Epstein’s debased antics and Trump’s Mar-A-Lago resort, now termed “the winter White House.” Hard facts remain elusive, however, and perhaps the media’s lack of ardor for getting to the bottom of this sordid case may have something to do with the fact that Epstein’s pals are a powerful bunch—and Bill Clinton is mixed up in this too.

To sum up, the idea that President Trump has been caught on tape doing something sordid is inherently in the realm of the possible. But has he been? Here’s where things get tricky, fast. I’ve investigated this issue for the past couple years. I’ve talked to dozens of well-placed sources (many of them longtime spy-friends), and I can share with you some basic conclusions.

As many as a dozen intelligence services worldwide, on four continents, are in possession of some sort of “Trump tape” featuring sexual escapades of a controversial nature; in some cases, the women involved appear to be underage. Some of these tapes have been shared with the Mueller investigation.

The article has a lot of info and it's difficult to choose which paragraphs to snip. It really is worth the click to read the entire article.

Not sure what to believe about this. Maybe we will see.

I follow Louise as well, but she is talking about something that will have to be proved that Schindler didn't discuss specifically in this article.

I just can't with observer.com being a trustworthy source - not as long as its owned by Jared Kushner.
