Cough, Rex Tillerson, cough.Is there only one hotel in Moscow? Does the FSB have literally every room in the city bugged? Does this mean that every time a prominent official decides to stay in a hotel in Russia, they're setting themselves up for nudes/sex tapes to be potentially used against them?
If they're stupid enough not to know and engage in that then yes. It's not like every single hotel and room can accommodate foreign dignitaries. It's not a large pool and it's known well in advance who is staying where.Is there only one hotel in Moscow? Does the FSB have literally every room in the city bugged?

Or they want to be responsible and have someone confirm its authenticity. Seems responsible to me.Why is MSNBC still claiming to "not have access" to the contents of the report? You can go on buzzed and read it now. Almost like NBC has to get the green light from someone to show news.

And here's the documents themselves, apparently.
I wish there was better verification of the authenticity of this stuff, but if even some of it is true... damn.
Me first!I'm almost tempted enough to join Twitter for this!
The President is going there with an entourage of several hundred people to conduct diplomacy. They work with local officials to coordinate security, etc. Not only is it highly unlikely they will be able to keep his room a secret, it would be actively harmful.
You can't seriously believe Obama is going to sneakily stay at a Motel 6 under the name Harack Nobamba or something. in order to protect our state secrets. I mean think how silly that is.
Oh man, holy shit at that Buzzfeed piece. Just read the first page of that highlighted intelligence report and tell me you don't think Trump has straight up fucked Russian prostitutes. I mean that's not exactly shocking, but it's hard to believe that's the only thing FSB has on him.
EDIT: Bahaha, see bullet point #3. Dude is into golden showers. Honestly, could this guy be less dignified for his position.
I'm skeptical. Buzzfeed mentions it this has more than a few problems. Still, a look into the allegations would be a good thing then let the cards fall where they may.
Please deny golden showers. Please deny golden showers......
Yup. He's officially losing it.
Boooo! Twitter won't let me in without me giving them my phone number!I'm almost tempted enough to join Twitter for this!
Ummm, we do exactly the same thing to them as well. Its pretty much expected and accepted practice.Yeah I guess so if there are really several hundred people involved; I figured it was more on the order of a few dozen and things could be reasonably flexible without needing to go to the seediest hostels in Russia, but fair enough, your figure sounds better thinking about it more. It still seems like a breach of diplomatic relations to knowingly have the nation you're visiting peeping on you in the bathroom or bedroom, which is the main thing that makes it sound like automatic BS, but then again there have been other spying scandals where nothing really resulted, so idk. Putin probably uses it to aid his psychological warfare cunning, watching American presidents at their most vulnerable taking a dump so he can better manipulate them.
