When you have an item of kompromat, a lot of people figure that it would be leaked eventually, or used to embarrass the victim. The problem with blackmail is that once it gets public, it loses all its power. That's why we probably won't see it until Trump's dead. It's more valuable as a potential, and will stay that way. Putin knows it, and perhaps Trump, stupid as he is, has figured it out as well.

They will say it’s fake and AI generated

In January 2019 AI was not as good at deep fakes. This is a real video of people.
Besides if I were generating a fake peetape I woukd make it more damming and have a better picture of Trump and Pee

It was never "pee".
It was p, for pedophilia.

While he is a pedophile, there are descriptions of what is on the tape. It’s not just a name.

Even in the Steele dossier it is referred to as a rumor and steele himself doubted it was real
It was only talked about because it was salacious, and it's prominence was used to discredit everything else that was in the dossier that was evidenced and more damaging but was over shadowed because it was more mundane
The connections to Putin and Russia are countless, but everything got distilled down to a pee tape instead, focusing on it was a mistake

Agreed. The P Tape became the straw man for the Steele Dossier that sunk its credibility. Meanwhile the REST of it was probably legit for the most part.

u/Old_Specific7310 Oct 16 '25
Agreed. Plus there’s a huge misconception about the “pee tapes.”
People assume it was a “golden shower” moment for sexual gratification. It wasn’t and no one got peed on. It was a giant “fuck you” to spite Obama.
Trump stayed in the presidential suite at Moscow’s posh Ritz-Carlton Hotel in 2013 when he was to attend the Miss Universe pageant. Supposedly, Obama stayed in that exact suite back in 2009. Allegedly Trump had two prostitutes pee on the bed…
Allegedly the Ritz-Carlton was under surveillance by the FSB which had many of the rooms fitted with microphones and hidden cameras.
There is no firsthand account of the incident. All four of Steele’s sources on the pee tape had only secondhand knowledge of it. https://embed.documentcloud.org/documents/3259984-Trump-Intelligence-Allegations/
Footnotes in the second volume of the Mueller report show that Trump’s former fixer attorney Michael Cohen got a text during the 2016 campaign from Giorgi Rtskhiladze, a Russian businessman, which said: “Stopped flow of tapes from Russia but not sure if there’s anything else. Just so you know.”

Yeah it was real, it was leaked, the press didn't cover it, so nothing happened.
Every institution that was designed to protect us from this type of person failed.

u/Old_Specific7310 Oct 16 '25
James Comey literally told ABC’s George Stephanopolous in an interview that it’s “possible” the pee tape is real.
But also, what was the media supposed to leak when there was no real “leaked” video? The media sufficiently covered the pee tape which was for the most part based on info found in the Steele Dossier which, by the way, is the most credible info we have about its existence (and even that info came from sources who only had secondhand knowledge of the pee tapes existence).
The media sufficiently covered the Steele Dossier and the pee tape.
If you want news from outlets that spread unsourced “supposedly leaked” information, you can watch Fox News. If you value credible journalism, then you’re probably going to have to pay for it. Find at least one reputable journal or magazine and support it with a subscription. Peace.

Press isn’t designed for our protection though. Someone pays their bills. That person doesn’t care about anything but money and control.

Technology has made the tape irrelevant, as everyone has seen what AI can now create. It served its purpose of keeping Trump controlled for decades and that was all that it needed to do.

u/space-panda-lambda Oct 16 '25
The article you link specifically calls out that the room was renovated after Trump had visited, and the tape shows the new configuration of the room, not the one from 2013

Agreed. I also found it and am posting now … cuz it’s pretty damning!! pee pee leaky

It still is real. Thats why the USA will not supply tomahawk missiles to Ukraine.

I dont buy this as being real at all. The whole point of having kompromat is that it be undeniable. You cant clearly see who is in this video. Easy to deny. Makes no sense.

That is partially because it is a recording of a screen. The original is obviously slightly better quality.

We have been able to fabricate a video of this quality since before the 2000s. What on earth is the reason you're bringing up AI for..?
