Yesterday evening Buzzfeed published anincendiary documentalluded to in an earlierCNN scoop . The 35 - page report , supposedly written by an ex-husband - intelligence agent , alleged among other things , that President - elect Trump had hire “ a number of prostitutes to execute a ‘ golden showers ’ ( urination ) show in front of him ” and that Trump had engaged in “ sex company ” in Russia . The side effect of this publication is now being refer to as pissgate , and of course of instruction , Trump ’s fervent imageboard supporters are spinning elaborate yarns about its descent .
While the papers itself is unverified and was only published — concord to an national emailsent to staffer by Buzzfeed boss Ben Smith — in an effort “ to be transparent in our news media ” despite “ serious grounds to doubt the allegations , ” some are pelt along to bring forth heel counter - explanation for pissgate . Most loudly , user of 4chan ’s /pol/ ( “ politically incorrect ” ) imageboard are trying to get to the bottom of it .
To recap : /pol/ is the same imageboard wherepizzagatewas first created , and the same group of multitude who long alleged that Julian Assange was eitherassassinated or capturedby the CIA . But the latest /pol/ conspiracy does n’t just essay to explain aside PEOTUS ’s say piss fascination — it attempts to take credit for it .
One of many threads posted recently last night pointed to anarchived threaddating back to November . Four posts within that archived screw thread — all using the same substance abuser ID — were from a 4chan substance abuser claiming he or she had leaked untrue information to Rick Wilson , a GOP political strategist . The posts make no mention of any details specific to pissgate and Rick Wilson is not mentioned in either the Buzzfeed or CNN pieces . Could anyone be gullible or desperate enough to believe a undivided amateur had play a joke on the CIA with bad intel ? Another train of thought style “ /pol/ literally trolled their mode into an intel study ” appeared last night , so you be the judge .
How did this purportedly false dossier get from the hands of Rick Wilson and onto the front varlet of nearly every news way out ? fit in a very dull chain of events dreamed up by /pol/ , Wilson give the documents to Evan McMullin — a former CIA officer who ran a lackluster independent campaign for president last year — who then for some reason generate them to Senator John McCain , who send them to government intelligence agencies , who then leaked them to the press to on purpose injure President - elect Trump . Hmm . Makes you think .
Besides offer no proof this chain of issue pass off , there ’s one gigantic hollow in this scenario : Wilson has denied any participation in the solid term . “ I release ANY diarist I ’ve talked to about Trump from any off - the - disk / background protections of anonymity , ” he wrote ina Medium postthis morning . “ Why ? Because the first meter I saw the memo was when BuzzFeed publish it . ” He also wryly points out that the timeline of events does n’t tot up :
If you conceive the Russian/4chan twisting that this information came from them , you ca n’t practice a calendar , or common sense . This information on Trump ’s various personal and business concern traffic in Russia was being pursued by major hunting expedition and by major media to my knowledge as early as later July of 2015 , and the “ Ritz Carlton ” data was out the in the summertime of 2016 .

Two post-horse — one on / pol/ itselfand another on Twitter — made broad claims about being the conceiver behind the “ fanfiction ” dossier . The former conveniently mention that he or she “ establish a new atomic number 76 after the election so I have no validation that I fabricate them . ” Similarly , @trsprudence proceed to talk a good game , with his call to being pissgate ’s architect bolstered by rumors within the Trump assistant Discord chatroom Centipede Central .
Why would /pol/ get behind a possibility so evidently ridiculous ? Besides denying any credibility the dossier might have , a faked document cause its way to internal press feed into their ( and Trump ’s ) narrative that the culture medium are liars . And for an internet community that think they sent a piece to the White House with meme , this is just another feather in their trollish caps .
But the glaring , obvious trouble with this dossier being a work of over fiction planted by Trump jock is that its publishing has done nothing but damage Trump . Surely anyone clever enough to fake intel so believable that it made its way to the top of the political chain of command would have foreseen how these allegement would be counterproductive ?
Then again , this ego - gratulatory pissgate confederacy account believably has nothing to do with disproving anything in particular . Shrieking the first thing that comes to mind is , after all , how panic-stricken world on the internet calm their mettle .
Intelligence representation should never have countenance this fake news to " leak " into the world . One last shot at me . Are we living in Nazi Germany ?
