For better or worse, James B. Comey's new book has forced us to talk about an allegation involving President Trump and urinating Russian prostitutes. It'd be better if we didn't dwell upon it.
The Steele dossier's allegation that Trump watched prostitutes, uh, micturate upon themselves in a Moscow hotel room — and the idea that Russian President Vladimir Putin is using it as kompromat against
Trump — is kibble for Trump's opponents. Until this week, though, it
had largely been relegated to social media jokes and an occasional
glancing reference on cable news.
