Why did Rudy waive the release of thesethis tapes...grrrrrrrrr


Some have said it was to take some potential arrows away from Cohen.  Also, they get it out now, so they can play the Clinton 'old news' game and control the narrative.
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

The issue with McDougal and Daniels is not that he had the affairs in 2006 - it's that the payoffs happened just prior to the election.  The circumstances around those payments can possibly be campaign finance violations.

Except that.... it was more likely a shakedown/blackmail attempt BECAUSE he was running ....

as a Republican.  I posit that... had he run as a Democrat... not a peep or a squeak would have been heard from either of them.

No quarter given to the enemy within...ever.

Ask John Edwards how fun his trial and exposure over it was.  Interestingly, made possible by a story courtesy of The National Enquirer.

   So @XenaLee are you insinuating that Candidate Trump/GOP paid out $280K (that we know of) to silence a Playboy Bunny and a P0rn Star that made the $hit up?

   Preposterous, he's not THAT Stupid!

No, because in at least one instance - Daniels - her story was supposed to be released in 2011 by In Touch Weekly.  However, Cohen threatened to sue and shut it down.  Had they paid her 'nuisance' suit then, it would have been over and done and not a potential legal issue.  Remember,  Rudy said Michael settled stuff like this all the time.  Cohen's idiocy caused all this mess.

How stupid is he?

   If anyone believes the 'brilliant' Cohen structured the payment(s) to avoid any taint of FEC violations, I have a bridge to sell ya.

   Karma is a Bi!ch.

   Somewhere a TX Senator is 'privately' laughing his azz off about these recent Trump/Pecker revelations.



Is that the same genius who is circling the drain in his own state with his reelection, by his own admission? Is this the same genius that couldn't get anyone to vote for him in a national contest? Is this the same genius who is busy playing pick up basketball games with Communists while he gets nothing done at his day job?

No one gives a shit about that guy. That is why he is the hero of the stupid.

Welp Trump will now have to explain this for the rest of his Presidency... or admit it. At least the Clinton thing happened at the end of his.

I hope he ignores it.  That's the best course.

I guess.

With this you sort of caught Trump in a lie by his own words basically, and Melania will have to decided whether to be the first cuckquean or not for 3 more years.

@Weird Tolkienish Figure   I really wish you had not chosen to make that tasteless comment.

Says it happened in 2006. Why would Trump need to make a payment, remember by his own admission, if it was no big deal?

Not that it's a big deal to me, but this be an annoyance to him for the remainder of his Presidency.

And I bet there is more to come.

You just can't wait for more unsavory gossip, can you @Weird Tolkienish Figure   Sometimes employers and other people choose the easy way of making a pay off to get rid of someone who wants to cause trouble.  It doesn't make them guilty, just practical.

   I expect a lot of 'Whataboutism' to transpire, shortly.  It was never about any particular sinful idiot, it was about the Republican brand having a Moral ground from which to argue.
  That is irrevocably destroyed, now.

@corbe

Of course it is not destroyed because it never existed.  The moral ground we ask for from Republicans is to pass laws to help the country ... to lower taxes, to make things easier for business, to enable fair trade, to stop illegal immigration and to stop supporting Planned Parenthood.

Mike Pence is probably the only guy in government who could walk on high moral ground.  And how many posters, gorging on this story, could walk that ground with him.

I doubt that @corbe   Ted Cruz has far too much class to delight in something like that.

That is exactly what I was trying to say @XenaLee   It was a shakedown attempt ... the sort of thing that's been tried so often and succeeded too often because people would rather pay than go through the publicity and hassle of fighting it.

And yet so many are cocksure that Trump, a now proven liar to the American people, can be trusted to do what he says he is gonna do, and must be believed when he denies he said or did anything that is construed to be evil, bogus, stupid, idiotic, unConstitutional, criminal, slanderous, despotic or Methodist.

Well... scratch Methodist because I think lying was removed from the Commandments according to their estimation.

Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards.

I just went to the site and listened to the audio thing.  It is a nothing burger.  Everybody who didn't know Trump was a playboy type of guy raise your hand.  I don't admire it, but it's not illegal or fattening.

This playboy bunny smelled a payoff and threatened to cause trouble.  Trump's lawyer urged him to pay.  She is nothing but a whore.  And a blood sucking one at that.

Revisiting this post, @corbe, I am trying to figure out what you are saying.

I think maybe you are saying we can no longer criticize Bill Clinton and other democrats who are all caught up in sex scandals because Trump allegedly slept with a Playboy Bunny 12 years ago.

You are wrong.  Clinton was a rapist, everyone knows it.  He also abused his office to prey on underlings.  Many other democrats have done unsavory things that were also illegal.

Sleeping with a Playboy bunny may show various things about you; i.e. that you are rich, that you are susceptible to beautiful women; that you have lapses in judgment.  But there is nothing illegal about it.

Thinking about Presidents in terms of their personal morality, especially about sex and I come up with a few likely candidates for sainthood, or at least fidelity.

Harry Truman
Richard Nixon
Both Presidents Bush

and, well, I guess that's it.

No it looks like Cruz is the fellow that Donald was so worried about that he got his buddies to run stories about extra affairs and shooting JFK while at the same time covering up his own affairs and joking about being able to shoot folks on the street and get away with it.
