CNN obtains secret Trump-Cohen tape
fake news ^

Posted on 07/24/2018 6:07:59 PM PDT by janetjanet998

Presidential candidate Donald Trump is heard on tape discussing with his attorney Michael Cohen how they would buy the rights to a Playboy model's story about an alleged affair Trump had with her years earlier, according to the audio recording of the conversation aired exclusively on CNN's "Cuomo Prime Time." The recording offers the public a glimpse at the confidential discussions between Trump and Cohen, and it confirms the man who now occupies the Oval Office had contemporaneous knowledge of a proposal to buy the rights to the story of Karen McDougal, a woman who has alleged she had an extramarital affair with Trump about a decade ago. Cohen told Trump about his plans to set up a company and finance the purchase of the rights from American Media, which publishes the National Enquirer.

Sessions need to fire Mueller immediately.

This leak is directly the responsibility of Mueller - intentional or not and severely damages his ability to try the case as it’s now biased any jury.

Is this as big a bombshell as the tax returns that Rachel Maddow exposed on her television show?

You are absolutely right. Trump is the only one who can waive Lawyer/Client Privilege

The tapes are nothing, just a distraction Trump’s Attorneys said to release them

Deceit, distractions, diversions. Deep state media...Corrupt to the core. There is nothing main stream about them. It's the communications division for deep state.

Nobody cares about that crap. The Muellar leak is astonishing but nobody cares. Here is why. We were told night after night on msm that raping Juanita Broderick, subverting a 20 year old employee of the White House in the all time greatest work place sex violence, requiring her to to give her boss oral sex. using his power over her success in the future. Exposing his crooked penis to a young Paula Jones resulting in her screaming flight and then resulting in his blatant perjury in the face of a Federal judge , his impeachment and his disbarment and a quarter million dollar fine, His serial adultery , while married to hillary with Jennifer Flowers , who now hates his guts. He fondled a woman whose husband had just died in her genitals without consent. He was the worst reprobate in public history but THAT WAS OK. Dont now tell me about Donald Trump in 2006 with a professional hooker,who committed EXTORTION before the election IMO!! Shut the hell UP!!

So, there’s audio evidence of Daniels and MacDougal’s successful extortion of Trump for money over CONSENSUAL RELATIONSHIPS and this is supposed to somehow hurt Trump? If this was David Letterman, Daniels and MacDougal would have already been arrested for criminal extortion.

Just because they’re given permission doesn’t mean they should.

“Trump is the only one who can waive Lawyer/Client Privilege”

Exactly!

President Trump should file a complaint with the Bar.

“The recording, which was provided to CNN by Cohen’s attorney Lanny Davis, was made in September 2016.”

Then Cohen violated attorney client privilege and should be disbarred.

I have a feeling this is more leak crushing. First, how did anyone know that Cohen had a recording, unless he kept it on his phone? It’s been 1 1/2 years, and he didn’t upgrade his phone? Or he saved it on his computer?

Then Cohen’s lawyer releases it to CNN, which is clearly a violation of privilege, and the lawyer would clearly know this. There’s more to this than meets the eye.

I have a strong suspicion David Brock and Gloria Allred offered these women money first.

if Trump was in New York, then the tape was probably legal, but if Trump was in Florida, then Cohen broke the law.

The special master flagged this and the 11 other tapes as privileged. However, I read that the Trump legal team waived privilege on all of them. So that tells you there is nothing much there. It will give CNN 5 straight days of programming material though, for their 700k viewers.

He is discussing buying rights to the story. Not discussing how his wife will launch personal attacks on the credibility of the woman. Not even in the same league as Bill Clinton.

Somebody tell Sessions that Mueller is leaking again.

Mueller leaks like a bad case of syphilis.

Yup. Bar probably already doesn’t like Cohen.
