Lordy... they released the tapes!

[Anonymous]

I think releasing this tape was a huge mistake. Actually hearing our President conspiring with Cohen to hide various damaging things (Ivana's divorce, the various women) sounds very sleazy. And it's so matter-of-fact, like they do stuff like this every day. This will hurt him.

Disagree. This requires informed, nuanced listening to understand. Trumpkins can be neither of those and will just hear another nothingburger. Teflon Don continues on.

+1 The whole country heard him talk about grabbing pussies of married women. Yet the electoral college voted him in.

Disagree - and by tomorrow morning it'll have subtitles.

And if this is the tape they waived privilege on because it helps Trump, just imagine what's on the other tapes.

This isn't nearly as bad as the Barack Obama tape discussing the creation of a fake company to pay hush money to a Playboy mistress.

This tape is more evidence that @realDonaldTrump himself was directly involved in a campaign finance law violation. And because the amount exceeded $25,000, it would be punishable as a felony.

#TrumpTapes also show Rudy Giuliani lied. But that's not news.

“Use cash”...

He also said "check". Seems it was a discussion.

That she had a price? Well that tells us a lot about her...

Did people listen to a different tape than I did? https://www.vox.com/2018/7/24/17610584/tape-michael-cohen-trump-payoff-playboy-model-karen-mcdougal-recording

It was mainly unintelligible and certainly not incriminating.

Shhhh. They are on a roll. Don't pop their bubble without offering prozac!

In the tape Trump is wishing someone to be hit by a truck...How come no one is talking about it?

Trump was wishing someone being killed...

He used campaign funds? Paperwork please? I assume you have it, given the accusation.

Lanny Davis should know better than that. They were discussing financing or paying cash.

A significant percentage of Americans purchase real estate by paying cash. Are they all mobsters?

Please. Tell us who exactly is walking into closing a real estate purchase with a suitcase full of cash, rather than a bank check? Once upon a time, I practiced real estate law, and I have literally never seen someone whip out hundred or thousands or millions in cash.

Thanks for playing let’s tie ourselff into a knot defending Trump, but no.

If you really are a lawyer, you will know there are plenty of cash buyers in real estate. That doesn’t mean they bring a suitcase of cash to closing. Paying cash means no mortgage is involved.

It can. It can also mean paying...cash.

You think Trump is paying hush money 20%, Finance the rest? No. I can guarantee that is not what happened. If only because it would be pointless for the women to get payments over time.

These women only have leverage until the day of the election, unless Trump wins. And he was a long shot back then. After that, no one GAF, and these women never see another $$$$. Especially since Trump likes to stiff people.

I know you are looking for a way for there not to be a vast sea of lies. But Trump “financing” his hush money is ridiculous when he would be very vulnerable for a few weeks, and then not at all. Come on.

Money used to cover up something damaging to a candidate two months before an election is considered campaign funds no matter where the cash or check comes from. See John Edwards.

And the entire conversation is focused on putting out fires before the election. Pam Bondi. The papers from his divorce from Ivana. And then the Karen McDougal matter. Clearly shows his intent.
