    Michael Cohen Secretly Taped Trump Discussing Payment to Playboy Model

    https://www.nytimes.com/2018/07/20/us/politics/michael-cohen-trump-tape.html

    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. Prosecutors want to know whether that violated federal campaign finance laws, and any conversation with Mr. Trump about those payments would be of keen interest to them.

    The recording’s existence further draws Mr. Trump into questions about tactics he and his associates used to keep aspects of his personal and business life a secret. And it highlights the potential legal and political danger that Mr. Cohen represents to Mr. Trump. Once the keeper of many of Mr. Trump’s secrets, Mr. Cohen is now seen as increasingly willing to consider cooperating with prosecutors.

    Rudolph W. Giuliani, Mr. Trump’s personal lawyer, confirmed in a telephone conversation on Friday that Mr. Trump had discussed the payments with Mr. Cohen on the tape but said the payment was ultimately never made. He said the recording was less than two minutes and demonstrated that the president had done nothing wrong.

  2. So did Mueller somehow overturn attorney/client privilege or does that only apply to democrats? Or are these leaks a way to get around it, hmmm?

    But this was FAKE NEWS!

    https://people.com/politics/trump-playmate-mistress-tiger-woods/

    White House reps did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment, but told The New Yorker that Trump denies having had an affair with McDougal: “This is an old story that is just more fake news. The President says he never had a relationship with McDougal.”

  4. So Trump was boning porn stars and playboy models. Put that up against Bill Clintons conquests. Trump wins again. We're a long ways from the high crimes and treason originally brought forth. This will change no votes, right or left stays squarely where they are right now. Next story.
     
  5. Remember that more than half did not vote for him and mostly because they are of good character and don't like liars.

    Trump was also boning children it is becoming more and more clear. The UK recent documentary on his sex-pest activities places him and any number of parties where Eastern European 'models' of 12 up were used as party favors. Trump was there, he condoned and was complicit at the very least.

    There is too much smoke in this regard with Trump. His narcissism puts him squarely in the profile of men who seek sex with minors.

    "
    But both men also put Donald Trump in the room with cocaine, very young women and underage girls, and rich, old men there to—pardon my language, but if the Times can say pussy on its front page, I can say this—fuck them.

    I’m sorry, Ivanka, I really am, because your mother raised you well and I can’t blame you for supporting your father (even if he did give—at the least—his blessing when you were 15 and signed on as a model yourself with Elite, the hard-partying high-end agency founded by notorious teen-fucker John Casablancas) but here’s the sad truth: Your dad’s not a dog. He’s a pig."

    My daughter was 6ft at around 14 and believe me I've put the hurt on a lot of adult men who were being creeps. Narcissists just don't have any compunctions about it.

  8. Not only that, but Trumps constitutional rights are being violated. The defense has the right to see evidence the prosecution has prior to the evidence being made public.

    (a) The names and addresses of persons the prosecutor intends to call as witnesses at trial.


    (b) Statements of all defendants.


    (c) All relevant real evidence seized or obtained as a part of the investigation of the offenses charged.


    (d) The existence of a felony conviction of any material witness whose credibility is likely to be critical to the outcome of the trial.


    (e) Any exculpatory evidence.


    (f) Relevant written or recorded statements of witnesses or reports of the statements of witnesses whom the prosecutor intends to call at the trial, including any reports or statements of experts made in conjunction with the case, including the results of physical or mental examinations, scientific tests, experiments, or comparisons which the prosecutor intends to offer in evidence at the trial.

    This is not about who he is boning but illegally using campaign funds to pay them off.I think you are smart enough to know that.
