The Cohen Tapes: Trump’s Watergate?
The New American ^ | 25 July 2018 | Steve Byas

Posted on 07/25/2018 2:31:56 PM PDT by detective

Appearing on CNN Tuesday with Chris Cuomo, Michael Cohen lawyer Lanny Davis argued that the tape he gave to CNN, which had just been played to the viewers by Cuomo, proved “the truth is on our side.” Davis is well known for his extremely close ties to Bill and Hillary Clinton.

The tape includes a discussion between then-presidential candidate Donald Trump and his then-lawyer Michael Cohen on several issues, including the request of the New York Times to unseal Trump’s divorce records involving Trump’s first wife, Ivana, and other matters. The tape also includes a discussion of the issue of the allegations of Karen McDougal, a former Playboy model, that she had an affair with Trump years ago.

Cash does not mean what the media is trying to make it out to be. Cash in Real Estate, means you are buying with out a loan or mortgage. Nobody expects you to show up with a briefcase full of $100 bills.

This. It doesn't just apply to real estate either. When I bought my last car I told the salesman I would be paying cash. That let him know he didn't need to mess around with financing. I paid with a check.

According to Dan Bongino if Cohen taped Trump while Trump was in Florida he could be in heap big trouble.

“This is a terrible article. It gives long time Clinton hatchet man Davis a pass. It is written fraudulently and withholds key facts.”

I probably should have said that I disagree with the premise of the article. I don’t think this tape will destroy the Trump presidency.

But I think the article does show what the Clinton operatives, the Democrats and the media are doing.

And it shows what a backstabbing slime ball Cohen is.

Every meme the left invents, they claim to be “Trump’s Watergate”.

If not that, it’s the “he’s Hitler” theme.

Right.
Your post should be repeated on all networks (fat chance of that).
“Cash” does not ben Frank Nitti paying a debt with a briefcase of bills on behalf of Al Capone in prison.

But who is reporting what you said? FR? Who else?

According to G. Gordon Liddy, Watergate was nothing more than an attempt to recover compromising photos of a prostitute and I will believe him more than the liars of the media.

I just assumed that anyone with a brain would know that,because I know it and I’m no financial genius.

I pay cash for my cars and I paid cash for my condo-—with checks.

For us yes, but it underscores how important it is for us to get the vote out in the November elections. If the Dems get the house, they will use all these fanciful CNN/MSNBC scandals to impeach him. And with their media friends it will be portrayed as (horrors!) nothing less than the end of the United States!!

“Cash”did mean actual currency when it came to the money Obama gave to Iran. He had to use money from many nations as there weren’t enough dollar bills available to get to the huge amount he sneaked over to Iran in the middle of the night.

The leftist media is either stupid or complicit in keeping things confusing. mmmmm ... I wonder which it is.

What’s to keep someone from editing the tape? Like slice and dice and cut to make it appear that Trump said something he didn’t on that tape.

“I pay cash for my cars and I paid cash for my condo-—with checks.”

Yes, in real estate or a car, a cash deal means full payment from the buyer at closing. No financing. What I heard, and I’m not yet convinced it wasn’t edited, was Trump ask: “Cash?”, then Cohan say: “No, no, check”. Then Trump says: “OK”. I still don’t see what the big deal is.

Organize in every city and state and get the vote out. Priority is voter fraud exposure, documentation and video proof, and conservative attorneys to help file complaints and to demand prosecution. Attorney Generals not willing to prosecute have to be outed.

The Trump Administration needs a national voter fraud hotline so We The People can report proof of voter fraud.

I’m sure there are retired veterans and retired LEO’s willing to help by the thousands.

Suggestions anyone?

Qnly reason davis is a lawyer for cohen is to be in position to screw Trump over and divert attention from dimmos at appropriate times (like just happened). Cohen is a real turn coat friend to get him as a lawyer...suppose he is doing it for nothing and cohen is promised a walk to spill dirt from the DAs...

I HATE this system of non justice for the left - clinton dimmo money back elite, how the illegal nobama weaponized the gov in his 8 years and that all of these dimmos throughout the (DOJ, FBI, CIA, - Spygate, crimes will likely be walking free and Trump will be getting the ax and likely not finishing his term...I know I am a pessimist but now in the USA there is just no justice anymore!!!!!!!!!!!! No one is willing t do what is necessary to get it back...not even Trump...because he would be standing alone...no one will stand with him if it should come to that!

John Dean was Counsel to the President. I think that is very different from being Nixon's personal attorney.

A distant cousin of mine (whom I never met) was Truman's personal lawyer. I think he just stayed in KC the whole time Truman was President--he wasn't working in the White House (or wherever the WH people worked during the restoration work on the White House).
