  • On 28 January 2017, the Palmer Report blog posted a story reporting that top advisers to President Donald Trump believe he is misleading them about the veracity of allegations that Russians are keeping compromising information about him, and that they could potentially use it to blackmail him. The story was based entirely on posts made by an anonymous Twitter user under an account called Rogue POTUS Staff: The story linked to the following message, which was posted on 28 January 2017 (Palmer says the unholy trinity refers to RNC chair Reince Priebus, House Speaker Paul Ryan and Vice President Mike Pence): The attempts at blackmail seem to be a reference to a dossier filled with claims about alleged ties between Russia and Trump, none of which has been verified. The Rogue POTUS Staff Twitter feed is a stream of what appear to be observations from one or more persons on the inside of the president's circle: That Twitter user also claims statements made are prescient, thereby proving validity: (The above statement claimed Trump would sign an executive order curtailing LGBT rights, which turned out to be false.) Because the identity of the person using the Twitter account is unknown and the allegations in the referenced dossier are unverified, no substantive evidence proves the claim that Trump's advisers believe he is compromised and is misleading them about it. Nor does it prove whether the Twitter user is indeed an insider, or just a very observant monitor of the news. (en)
