PEE BRAIN!
Says Trump was obsessed with alleged wee-wee vid Wanted FBI to prove tawdry tape was a lie ‘Can you imagine me with hookers?’ Prez asked
HE WANTED to stop the leak.
President Trump told James Comey he would not have hired Russian prostitutes to pee on each other because he’s a “germaphobe,” according to a tell-all book by the axed FBI director.
Comey’s upcoming memoir, “A Higher Loyalty,” recounts a salacious conversation he had with Trump last January about the then-unreleased Steele dossier, a cache of documents alleging that the Russian government has compromising information on the President, including a “pee tape” featuring Trump and hookers in a Moscow hotel.
During their conversation at Trump Tower, Comey said Trump offered a series of explanations for why he wouldn’t instruct Russian hookers to urinate on each other.
He “strongly denied the allegations, asking — rhetorically, I assumed — whether he seemed like a guy who needed the service of prostitutes. He then began discussing cases where women had accused him of sexual assault, a subject I had not raised,” Comey said, according to an excerpt in The Washington Post.
He then tried to pour more cold water on the tale in a phone call to Comey a week later, insisting he hadn’t stayed overnight in the hotel room.
“I’m a germaphobe,” Trump told Comey, according to his account. “There’s no way I would let people pee on each other around me. No way.”
“I decided not to tell him that the activity alleged did not seem to require either an overnight stay or even being in proximity to the participants,” Comey wrote, according to the Post report.
The Steele dossier, which was made public weeks after the Trump Tower meet, claims that Trump had the hookers perform the lewd act in 2013 in the same Moscow hotel suite that President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama once stayed in “as a way of soiling the bed.”
Trump asked Comey if the FBI could do anything to disprove the news reports he feared would leak from the unverified dossier, which was compiled by ex-British spy Christopher Steele.
During a one-on-one dinner at the White House after the dossier’s release, Trump raised the “golden showers thing” again, telling Comey that the steady stream of news stories about the alleged act was very painful for First Lady Melania Trump (photo right). Trump told Comey it bothered him that there might be even “a one percent chance” his wife might think it’s true, according to the book.
Comey writes that Trump also “argued that the golden showers thing wasn’t true, asking . . . ‘Can you imagine me, hookers?’ ”
Comey’s bombshell memoir, which is set to hit the shelves Tuesday, gives an eye-opening view of the tumultuous four months that he spent as Trump’s FBI director.
Trump fired Comey on May 9, 2017, setting in motion a series of events that led to the appointment of special counsel Robert Mueller.
Mueller is probing whether Trump obstructed justice by firing Comey, who oversaw the U.S. counterintelligence investigation into Russian election meddling. Mueller is also looking into the possibility that Trump’s campaign colluded with the Russian government. Comey’s memoir drips with resentment and includes numerous personal jabs, including references to Trump as an “ego-driven” narcissist who’s “untethered to truth.” In a striking shot at his physique, the 6-foot-8 Comey describes Trump as shorter than he expected with a “too long” tie and “bright white halfmoons” under his eyes that appeared to be from tanning goggles.
Comey also made sure to check out Trump’s hands.
“(They were) smaller than mine but did not seem unusually so,” Comey writes.
Comey casts the President as a Mafia boss-like figure who sought to blur the line between law enforcement and politics and tried to pressure him regarding his investigation into Russian election interference.
The ex-FBI director writes ex-
tensively about the first time he met Trump at his namesake Manhattan skyscraper.
Beyond Trump’s “pee tape” denials, Comey and Trump discussed the intelligence community’s findings about Russia’s interference in the 2016 election. Comey was joined by National Security Agency Director Mike Rogers, CIA Director John Brennan and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper.
Also present in the room were a number of Trump’s incoming White House officials, including Vice President Pence, chief of staff Reince Priebus, national security adviser Michael Flynn and press secretary Sean Spicer — all of whom, except Pence, have since left the administration.
Comey was stunned that the Trump officials in the room seemed unconcerned about the Kremlin’s election meddling.
“They were about to lead a country that had been attacked by a foreign adversary, yet they had no questions about what the future Russian threat might be,” Comey writes. Instead, they launched into a strategy session about how to “spin what we’d just told them” for the public.
Trump claims he was justified in firing Comey because of his handling of the FBI’s investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email servers.
Trump used the email investigation as a weapon against her during the campaign and repeatedly claimed Clinton should be jailed for using a personal email system while serving as secretary of state.
Democrats, on the other hand, have accused Comey of politicizing the investigation, and Clinton herself has said his public reopening of the probe before the election hurt her prospects.
According to ABC, Comey said in the book he believes he acted appropriately with the email probe, but it is “entirely possible” that “my concern about making her an illegitimate President by concealing the restarted investigation bore greater weight than it would have if the election appeared closer or if Donald Trump were ahead in all polls. But I don’t know.”
As for Clinton, “I have read she has felt anger toward me personally, and I’m sorry for that.”
