Michael Cohen Secretly Taped Trump Discussing Payment to Playboy Model

President Trump’s longtime lawyer, Michael D. Cohen, secretly recorded a conversation with Mr. Trump two months before the presidential election in which they discussed payments to a former Playboy model who said she had an affair with Mr. Trump, according to lawyers and others familiar with the recording.

The F.B.I. seized the recording this year during a raid on Mr. Cohen’s office. The Justice Department is investigating Mr. Cohen’s involvement in paying women to tamp down embarrassing news stories about Mr. Trump ahead of the 2016 election....

When The Wall Street Journal revealed the existence of the payment days before the election, Mr. Trump’s campaign spokeswoman, Hope Hicks, said, “We have no knowledge of any of this.” She said Ms. McDougal’s claim of an affair was “totally untrue.”

And apparently by commenting, Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani has waved attorney-client privilege.  The clown-show continues.

FWIW in California, it is not legal to record, without consent.

In the morning, my wife notes the networks are already under waywith their daily smear coverage of Trump.

And I can plan for the same here, thanks to " social media advisor" curated feed, to please the #nevertrumper audience.

Today, This is the rilly big one!! Gonna bring him down. Jeff Flake, James Comey all suited up in heir Peacock Feathers,and strutting around.  A little soft Boosch fambly tune, playing in the background, in memory of their Hillary votes by (GHW, Babs bless her recently departed soul. Probbly low energy Jeb and his Familia).

If the dems/media and #nevertrumps can't brink him down, they can weaken him enough to block his agenda.

That aside, one of Trump's mantras is how the media is the 'enemy of the people.'  Well, in this case, you have a media entity that blew the lid off the Edwards affair, but engaged in 'catch and kill' to protect Trump.  The recording itself may not mean anything, legally, but the arrangement just might.

Giuliani: Cohen tape is 'powerful exculpatory evidence'
By Jacqueline Thomsen - 07/20/18 12:53 PM EDT

President Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani said Friday that a tape of Trump and his then-personal lawyer Michael Cohen discussing a payment to a former Playboy model will exonerate Trump.

“Nothing in that conversation suggests that he had any knowledge of it in advance,” Giuliani told The New York Times of the taped conversation about the payment.

“In the big scheme of things, it’s powerful exculpatory evidence,” he added.

The tape, reportedly seized by the FBI during a raid of Cohen's office earlier this year, features a conversation between Trump and Cohen two months before the 2016 election about making a payment to former Playboy model Karen McDougal, who alleges she had an affair with Trump.

Cohen is reportedly under federal investigation over payments he made to women alleging affairs with Trump ahead of the 2016 election.

Giuliani told The Times that the payment was never made to McDougal, and that the recording lasted less than two minutes.

Cohen's attorney, Lanny Davis, declined to comment to The Times.

I believe voters have already made a determination about the young lothario Trump and have decided to keep him anyway.

The Left and NeverTrump Republicans will just have to swallow that fact.

If that were indeed a "fact", I'd be willing to accept it.  Of course it isn't.   *****rollingeyes*****  Voters haven't had a chance to decide "to keep" (or not to keep) President Trump.  They won't get that chance until 2020.

   Trump used Pecker's NE to release the Cruz/Mistresses $hit 3 days before Super Tuesday~all unsubstantiated BS and it cost Cruz votes, had the Evangelicals known about all this crap, which I believe is TRUE, I think it would have cost Trump the election.

@INVAR

Principles?  You make me laugh.  So many Trump supporters gave those up when they criticized Obama's deficit spending but simply accept it when "their guy" does it.

You get an unwelcome, unwanted saliva shower from that, courtesy of the Giuliani lisp.  I guess he'll be making the rounds on TV again.  That should be fun.

Perhaps more because it's new and exciting to them.

The left has been mocking morality for decades.  These people (who claim to be) on the right have just been at it since 2016.
