And it was recorded why? For future black mail?

I love DJT but he has surrounded himself with way too many disloyal sketchballs - Reince, Kelly, Pence, Coats, McMaster, Tillerson, Cohen, Sessions, Rosenstein, Wray and so many others.

CNN, MSN, et al are having their usual orgasms over nothing.

I can’t imagine how much fun life is going to be for the opposition, if they succeed in removing this President. /s

In some states, this is illegal.

“...Another snake. Now I don’t feel sorry for MC anymore....”
Agree, but well, he is a lawyer...nuff said.
I suspect they made MC “an offer he couldn’t refuse”.
However, there should be one helluva law suit over this regarding attorney/client privilege.

Trump talking to his lawyer about entering into a legal agreement with someone. How could that no fall under privileged?

I’m not a lawyer, but couldn’t Cohen get disbarred for that?

Yes, it's highly unethical. We are talking attorneys here so ethics are a pretty low bar, but it's even beneath that one.

I think they’re hoping Congress will impeach based on this ill-gotten evidence, even if it’s inadmissible in court.

... according to lawyers and others familiar with the recording.

Ah, sources who are "familiar" with the recording.

Article also says it was a short conversation, Trump knew nothing about it. No smoking gun...just another fake news story by the failing NYT.

Fake News story

With a fake quote from Giuliani acknowledging that the conversation took place?

Lanny Davis leaked this. Rudi confirmed this. Apparently the tape is exculpatory for Trump.

They will try to maintain that yes the agreement was legal, except for the part that violated campaign finance law. They will try to get Congress to seize on a technicality.

I still don’t get how the FBI can raid the office of a lawyer to dig for dirt on someone that lawyer represents. How is that any better than anything they pretend to hate Putin for??

Kennedy and the Sinkmaster were two cads who did the deed in the whitehouse.

Trump was a world class player prior to his candidacy. What’s the big deal?

There are so many people that would gladly take a bullet for this President, figuratively speaking, and yet he lets the swamp guys advise him to appoint other swamp guys who are working overtime to position him so the bullet (figuratively speaking) will get him. I don't get it.

Irrelevant. But, if Trump was unaware of the recording it can’t be used against him, and Cohan could be in trouble.

You might want to reference the bush bus trip tape. They can and will use it in an impeachment proceeding.
