The Mueller Report just revealed surprising news about the pee tape

The Mueller Report just revealed the potential source of the most salacious allegations in former MI5 agent Christopher Steele’s infamous raw intelligence dossier — the allegations that the Russian government is blackmailing Donald Trump with a tape of him engaging in “urine play” with prostitutes during his 2013 visit for the Miss Universe Moscow project.

It turns out that Donald Trump was informed by his former personal lawyer Michael Cohen that there were blackmail tapes floating from an “incident” by Giorgi Rtskhiladze, their shady Trump Tower business partner in Batumi, Georgia.

Cohen received text messages from Rtskhiladze on the eve of the election saying that he had “stopped the flow of tapes from Russia.” The Mueller Report explained more in a footnote:

So, Trump’s business partner was told that the blackmail tapes were fake, but still told him that they were floating around and didn’t tell Cohen that he believed they were fake.

Mueller’s team discovered that information from multiple interviews with Trump’s business partner and discussions with his convicted former personal lawyer Cohen after he pled guilty and agreed to cooperate.

Then, after the election, former-FBI Director James Comey briefed Trump on the allegations he himself had heard only two months earlier.

Comey memorialized that interaction in his memos.

Giorgi Rtskhiladze was in touch with Cohen throughout the election pitching a Moscow business deal, but they passed because of the other real estate venture they allegedly pursued throughout the primary campaign and lied to cover up.

Steele’s dossier, in a report written on June 20th, 2016, said that two of his sources said roughly the same thing, believing that there was a tape of the extracurricular activities that happened during Trump’s stay at the Ritz Carlton Moscow.

However, there were other aspects to TRUMP’s engagement with the Russian authorities. One which had borne fruit for them was to exploit TRUMP’s personal obsessions and sexual perversion in order to obtain suitable ‘kompromat’ (compromising material) on him. According to Source D, where s/he had been present, TRUMP’s (perverted) conduct in Moscow included hiring the presidential suite of the Ritz Carlton Hotel, where he knew President and Mrs. OBAMA (whom he hated) had stayed on one of their official trips to Russia, and defiling the bed where they had slept by employing a number of prostitutes to perform a ‘golden showers’ (urination) show in front of him.

The hotel was known to be under FSB control with microphones and concealed cameras in all the main rooms to record anything they wanted to. The Moscow Ritz Carlton episode involving TRUMP reported above was confirmed by Source E, [REDACTED], who said that s/he and several of the staff were aware of it at the time and subsequently. S/he believed it had happened in.

Comparing the allegations to the end result of Special Counsel Mueller’s report substantiates that many people in Trump’s orbit believed there to be a compromising tape, including his business partners.

It’s entirely possible that Donald Trump could have believed there was a compromising tape of his behavior from his Moscow visit. Then, the FBI later confirmed that others knew about the rumors of a blackmail tape.

However, there’s no evidence that indicates that a “pee tape” exists according to the Mueller Report.

This looks like the end of the saga for one of American politics’ most colorful questions.
