Sub-Headings:
- What is the Steele Dossier?
The Steele Dossier is a collection of memos written by former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele between 2016 and 2017. The dossier is a compilation of information and allegations against Donald Trump and his campaign associates and their ties to Russia. Among the allegations is the existence of a tape depicting Trump engaging in illicit activities with prostitutes in a Moscow hotel room. The dossier was used as a basis for the FBI’s investigation into the Trump campaign’s ties to Russia.
- The Durham Report on Trump-Russia Probe
In 2019‚ Attorney General William Barr appointed U.S. Attorney John Durham to investigate the origins of the Trump-Russia probe. The Durham report‚ which was released on October 19‚ 2020‚ concluded that the investigation was started without an actual basis and that sources cited in the investigation were lying from the start. This includes the sources cited in the Steele Dossier‚ which included Russian operatives.
- The FBI’s Investigation
The FBI’s investigation into the alleged Trump-Russia collusion began in July 2016‚ after the Australian government informed U.S. authorities that Trump campaign adviser George Papadopoulos had been approached by a Russian agent. The FBI began investigating possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia‚ including allegations of the existence of the Trump pee tape.
- The Importance of the Pee Tape Allegation
The pee tape allegation gained widespread attention in the media and online‚ despite never being confirmed. The allegations played a significant part in the public perception of Trump and his campaign‚ with many people believing the allegations to be true. However‚ the Durham report found that there was no evidence of Russia collusion against Trump and that the whole investigation was a hoax and not legitimate at the outset.
- The “P-Tapes” of Hunter Biden
Hunter Biden‚ the son of President Joe Biden‚ has also been the subject of “p-tape” allegations. In October 2020‚ Rudy Giuliani‚ Trump’s personal attorney‚ released a video allegedly showing Hunter Biden engaging in sexual acts and using drugs with an unidentified woman. The legitimacy of the video and its contents have been called into question‚ with many speculating that the video was doctored.
- The Legitimacy of the Investigation
The Durham report’s findings raise questions about the legitimacy of the entire investigation. The report concluded that the FBI investigation was started without a proper basis and that the sources cited were lying. The agents on the case overrode all the usual procedures and rules because of their hatred of Trump. The FBI never had any evidence of Russia collusion against Trump‚ and they even failed to verify if the source they used for the Steele Dossier was working for the Kremlin.
Conclusion:
In conclusion‚ the alleged Trump pee tape has never been confirmed‚ and its importance in the investigation into Trump’s alleged collusion with Russia has been called into question. The Durham report’s findings have shed light on the many failings of the investigation‚ and it is now clear that the investigation was not legitimate at the outset. The allegations of the Hunter Biden p-tapes are also unsubstantiated and raise questions about the politicization of sensitive and delicate issues. It is important that evidence of any wrongdoing is thoroughly examined and only acted upon with the utmost accuracy and transparency.
