BREAKING: As I previously reported, Paul Wood (Chief BBC Russia Correspondent) has written of *multiple* witnesses at the Ritz Moscow who saw those women *with* Trump as he tried to get them up to his room *without* having them sign in. So the offer made to Trump was *accepted*.
(2) Here is the *Chief Russia Correspondent for the BBC*, writing in The Spectator months ago—and I tweeted it out at the time—CONFIRMING that the offer made to Trump to have women come up to his room was ACCEPTED by Trump, counter to what Keith Schiller told Congress on Tuesday.
(3) I've also, for TEN MONTHS now—since January 2017—been trying to get media to pick up Paul Wood's reporting (again, Wood is the *Chief Russia Correspondent for the BBC*) that he was told by the CIA that multiple compromising tapes of Trump exist and are held by the Kremlin.
(4) I'm very glad that, 10 months after the CIA confirmed for the BBC that a tape was made of Trump at the Ritz Moscow in November '13; and 2 months after a BBC reporter reported multiple witnesses to the events leading to the tape; NBC is reporting Schiller's half-denial on it.
(5) I've tweeted this article out over and over again since January 2017; it's been ignored. I tweeted Wood's follow-up reporting; it was ignored. I'm hopeful NBC's "breaking news" today will change all of that. So PLEASE consider reading this BBC article: bbc.com/news/world-us-…
(6) I also reported—10 months ago—that Trump's and Schiller's claim that Trump's plan was to "go to bed alone" his second night at the Ritz Moscow is a lie. In fact, he tried to get Miss Hungary to sleep with him—as I exclusively (in the States) reported: huffingtonpost.com/entry/allegati…
(7) Schiller now says "he eventually left Trump's hotel room door and could not say for sure what happened during the remainder of the night." Well, the BBC can. The CIA can. I can. The witnesses located by ex-MI6 Chris Steele and the BBC can. And "European intel agencies" can.
(8) We're being played. We can discover *today* that Trump did everything Steele said he did at the Ritz Moscow—by reading my reporting, BBC reporting, Steele's dossier, quotes from the CIA and European intel agencies—or we can wait another 6 months for more NBC "breaking news."
(9) I've represented thousands of defendants—including security folks. Schiller left that door so he could deny what was going to happen inside that room—and who was headed through that door—later on. His testimony to Congress appears to be an attempt to save Trump *and* himself.
(10) When a body man says, "I don't know what happened after I left that door," it means "I know exactly what happened inside that room, but no one can prove I was there to see what happened—and my boss would be undercutting himself to say I knew—so hey, I guess I 'didn't know.'"
(11) Besides the BBC reporting already known, there's also this separate compilation of key data, which I wrote and published weeks ago after high-level contacts with major-media editors (NB: this isn't reporting; rather, it's a public alert based on *reliable* second-hand info):
(12) I took a long time to think before writing and publishing that letter. I analogize the decision to proceed to the decision made by Buzzfeed in January 2017: there's raw data that the public, on national security grounds, has a right to know about so it can be further vetted.
(13) It should go without saying that, even if you *did* believe Schiller, you'd *also* have to accept that a Russian national *attempted* to get kompromat on Trump by offering to send women to a room s/he knew was bugged—as Trump says he did too—and that s/he knew Trump was in.
(14) Moreover, given that Schiller works in security—and is charged with protecting Trump from blackmail—and given that Trump says he knew the room was bugged, why in the world would they "laugh" about an attempt by a Russian national to get kompromat on him? It makes zero sense.
(15) One might "laugh" at such an attempt to destroy Trump's personal, business, and potential political life were Trump a man with no history of womanizing, but in fact—as the media has repeatedly reported—this is *exactly* the sort of very *serious* trap the Russians would set.
