Unless he said :out of campaign funds” there is nothing there.

Voters have already “priced in” President Trump’s private behavior.
This too shall fail to devalue the election.

Did all parties know those tapes were being made?
If not, Trump’s former attorney could be headed to prison. He could lose his license to practice law.
As for Mueller being able to use them, I think Trump’s legal team could launch a serious challenge to the fraudulent nature of the support materials to obtain a subpoena.
A local court may stand behind the subpoena, but I seriously doubt the SCOTUS would.

Pay them to shut up. Or kill their cats and slash their tires. I’m sure Stormie would rather have been paid than having Hillary turn goons loose on her.

And where would Cohen be likely to get his hands on campaign money anyway? Trump, I recall, is worth a few billion dollars, so I think he would be sensible enough to use his own cash.

Linda Tripp wasn’t a lawyer in a relationship with the person she was recording. That would be a significant difference I would think.

Was Trump talking about selling Aborted Baby Parts in that Conversation too?
Where did this happen, if it did?
Was it in a State that requires both Parties being aware of the recording?
That’s not even getting into the Attorney Client Privilege aspect.
Do they have a Tape of Trump in a Confessional with a Priest too?

“Im not a lawyer, but couldnt Cohen get disbarred for that?”
Possibly. From what I understand if Trump had an expectation that the conversation was private and was not informed that there was even the possibility the conversation could be recorded then it’s a serious ethics violation, not to mention likely inadmissible in court.

That may or may not be true, but I don’t ever want to find out. That tape is privileged communication and if it sees the light of day somebody should hang.

As i understand it there is no allegation that Trump used campaign money for this. The dems (and Mueller) are suggesting that it would be a campaign violation because if Stormy Agreed to shut up, her silence would then represent an an-kind contribution that went unreported.
That is a stretch. But they'll find a female judge in DC or NY to sign on. Of course, if this precedent is set then just about all the critters in congress on both sides need to be targeted for prosecution because you know they do this.
