Oh, Ick!
Keith Schiller — longtime bodyguard to President Donald Trump — said this week that after a meeting about the 2013 Miss Universe Pageant in Moscow, a Russian associate offered to send “five women” to Trump’s hotel room, but Schiller declined the offer on his boss’ behalf.
NBC News said that Schiller made the remarks in his testimony to Congress about Russian meddling in the 2016 election and possible collusion between that country’s government and the Trump 2016 campaign.
Two sources who were present for the interview said that Schiller initially thought the offer by a Russian present at the meeting was a joke and responded, “We don’t do that type of stuff.”
Ok, well, now that we’ve cleared all that up. Yeah, but meanwhile former NSA Analyst John Schindler says that multiple intel agencies have copies of “Trump Sex Tapes” although he also says several of them are likely fakes.
In his latest column at the Observer, Schindler writes that Trump’s notorious sexual habits over the years have left him wide open to potential blackmail, and that intelligence agencies around the world possess what they believe to be compromising material on him.
“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,” he writes. “Some of these tapes have been shared with the Mueller investigation.”
However, Schindler also warns that many of these tapes are either crude or sophisticated forgeries seemingly designed to discredit any news organization or politician who brings them to light. Schindler suspects that these fraudulent tapes are the work of Russian counterintelligence operatives and were created to protect Trump in case real sex videos of the president were to leak.
So does he “do that kind of stuff” or doesn’t he? Are some of these tapes legitimate or are they all phony and fake? Perhaps all of this is just smoke and mirrors and perhaps it isn’t.
In the end it may not matter if these tapes are real or not, what matters is whether Trump thinks they might be real and just what he might do just in case it’s possible some of them are.
