Michael Cohen Secretly Taped Trump Discussing Payment to Playboy Model
NYT ^ | 07/20/2018 | Matt Apuzzo, Maggie Haberman, Michael S. Schmidt

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.

I don’t care either. It has no relevance to anything important in my life or fixing problems we face as a country. #MAGA

So glad you brought up the Bushes. I am a WHOLE LOT more concerned about people like the Bushes that are involved in secret societies and go to places like BOHEMIAN GROVE and take part in God knows what. WHY would we ever want anyone serving in government that would even be a part of a secret society? I thought TRANSPARENCY is what we would strive for in our government leaders. If you have to be involved in something that secretive then you must be up to no good.

It was my take that Stormy Daniels was a hooker as well as a strip show person.

If that was incorrect, I’ve been harboring the wrong impression for quite some time.

I don't know about YOUR ballot, but Jesus wasn’t on mine.

Does Jesus pay off hookers?

Pence was behind the hiring of literally every swamp creature...

I need better proof that Pence is evil. I'll admit that he probably gave Trump advice about knowledgeable beltway types, probably at Trump's own request. But the motive you attribute to him just doesn't sound right to me.

You may be correct about people on this thread, but my take is that they are simply stating it’s not an impeachable offense, and the mention of it is worthless at this point.

None of us think infidelity is okay.

The Democrat party is for abortion on demand up to birth paid for by the Government. Trump and the GOP are doing everything they can to limit the number of abortions.

If “morality” is your concern, that right there overrides all the fake posturing by Never Trumper Talk Radio clowns and other fake religious conmen posturing about Trump’s “morality”

Most people are not mindlessly clinging to their butt hurt that their their poltical god Cruz lost the 2016 GOP Primary.

They realize all these fake “Christians” ranting and raving about Trumps morality are merely the modern day equivalent of the Pharisees.

No, but he forgives people who do. He’ll even forgive people who like to judge, if they repent.

On the issues of Abortion alone the Political Left, and their Never Trumper bot followers on social media, have sacrificed all moral standing to posture as judges of Trumps morality

Some states have laws that state that BOTH parties in a recording MUST know a recording is happening. What is the New York Law?

So he paid them instead of having his wife attack them as being bimbos and sluts. Seems better than someone else we know.
