BBC reporter says other intelligence agents knew about compromising Trump tapes
BBC reporter says other intelligence agents knew about compromising Trump tapesThe dossier of allegations that Donald Trump was compromised by Russia has been circulating among journalists and politicians for months, but on Wednesday, BBC reporter Paul Wood said he had heard similar allegations from other sources.
Wood said a member of the US intelligence community told him of compromising material against Trump via a report from an Eastern European intelligence agency. Wood also said a contact with connections to the CIA had told him that Russia had multiple video and audio tapes of Trump in compromising positions.
Woods report was among the first corroboration of the inflammatory dossier, which was put together by a former British intelligence agent. BuzzFeed News and other media have been unable to verify it.
Having said all that, nobodys seen this tape, Wood said. Were talking about intelligence here, and nobody should believe something just because an intelligence agent says it, still less an anonymous intelligence agent.
But, Wood noted, the intelligence was deemed credible enough by the CIA for it to be passed on to President Obama, as well as Trump and congressional leaders.

(30,058 posts)so having Trump deny any other allegations is not proof to me. He refuses to accept the security briefing by the US security community but is very ready to accept Putin saying Russia did not hack and attempt to influence our elections. Trump is not believable, he is a liar, can not tell the truth.

(58,785 posts)some embarrassing sex photos (regardless of the "golden showers" story)? Trump's been buying the favors of women for decades, and as far as that goes, nothing seems more likely. Of COURSE, there is A dossier, and it contains some of that stuff.
The kind of incriminating dirt I'm waiting for would be in-CRIM-inating. Connections between him and Russia during the campaign or after (Putin would release if he'd pretty much used up Trump's usefulness and doing so threw us into further turmoil). Business dealings. Putin's dossier on Trump has to include that kind of dirt also, in the U.S. or other countries, if not in Russia. We know our President-elect is proud of being a corrupt swindler, proud of flouting the law, bribing, defaulting on debt, etc., etc. As far as embarrassing material goes, he's not proud of making enormous mistakes in business, but there are plenty of those also.
