Oh, Watch What Else Floats to the Surface
I kinda think this is only the first in a whole lot of waste coming that’ll leak out.
So there’s recordings of Trump talking to Cohen about paying off the Playboy model? Oh, you know it’ll contain more misogyny per square inch than there is cotton in fine sheets.
Giuliani says there’s nothing illegal on the tapes. Really?
You try to flush em but they always keep rising to the surface. 😉
1Let’s see how stern a certain Mormon is about drinking. With the Manafort trial, whatever Cohen might do and Donnie fixating on his next honeypot moment with Vlad, being chairperson for the RNC will be weeks of fun in the coming weeks.
2How would Rudy know what’s on the tapes? Whenever pushed for details on something, he slithers away and never gives any real, meaningful information.
3Cohen was Deputy Finance Chair of the RNC. I wonder if there are recordings of where the money came from and to which Rs the money was funneled.
4If these audio recordings turn out to be as popular as we hope, can a Russian video be far behind, to cash in some rubles on the interest while the story is hot? Only Putin knows for sure, because so much of what Trump does sure seems to go on behind closed doors.
5Eager beaver, Rudy, is now claiming that the tape is totally exculpatory for Dump. Let’s see how that one floats.
6At the very least, it catches dump in yet another lie ’cause he denied knowing about any payments to women. Yet there he is, apparently discussing how they should be paid.
Busted!

I live in NY. I am angry that Trump got away with crap in NY state for years.
His lack of ethics and money shenanigans, not to mention his legendary parties and women were a well known secret.
But I am curious as to why Rudy is well, not very lawyerly, even though he is Trump’s attorney. I wonder if Rudy is covering up for when he was mayor and did some deals with Trump. And is scared.
8From the article: “Giuliani . . . described the other recordings as mundane discussions.”
I can hear Trump now. “Mundane?!? MUNDANE??!!?? Those were NOT mundane discussions! They were the BEST discussions! WAY better discussions than any discussions by Obama or Clinton! Believe me!”
9“…mundane discussions.”
“Pay no attention to the men behind the curtain! We were unable to find a place behind closed doors where our mundane discussions could take place. Trump has spoken! I am the great and powerful… President of… President of… oh, pardon me, and I mean that literally…”
10FYI: leaks, per se…..
Trump’s campaign director, Manafort,….transcripts reveal his daughter’s texting to each other.. reveals: Daddy Manafort is a “sex addict” who made Mommy Manafort have sex with other men while he watched. His daughters are not pleased, his wife hated it.

12That’s a really interesting theory about Giuliani. And I think it’s gonna apply to a whole lotta folks eventually. At least I think it already applies to a whole lotta folks, I just hope that eventually they’re all exposed.
Before democracy as we’ve known it for a coupla centuries is transformed into what Vlad the Donnie Impaler has established in Russia.
About 7 minutes after I submitted my last comment, my lovely lady showed me an interesting Facebook post. It was a tweet that said “What if we’re looking at this wrong? What if Putin has installed Trump and all his enablers and the takeover has already happened?”
13Apologies to the tweeter, as I’m paraphrasing.
But my first reaction was to think about how Louie Gohmert and all the other RWNJ’S in congress are so f***ing corrupt.
Who could possibly be better targets for hostile espionage organizations?
And yes, I know a lot of patrons of this joint have speculated about this before, but Damn.
Why would a lawyer record conversations with a client? He must have expected that the law-breaking would some day become public and he would need something for a bargain with the prosecutors. CYA!
14And the Mueller team has had that tape prolly since the the US Attorney’s office for the Southern District of NY ran search warrants on Cohen’s hotel room, residence, and offices in March or April of this year.
15Anyone who is not convinced that Russia installed Dump to further their own agenda watch or read The Manchurian Candidate.
16We can only speculate as to what Team Mueller knows. But we can observe what Putin thinks of Donnie’s first 18 months in office. Dotard45 failed his Helsinki performance review, thus the holiday invite for Putin. Donnie has been given a few more months to perform at expectation. While it is doubtful Donnie will serve a full 4 year term, there’s no doubt he wants to drink & eat at the Moscow trough when he leaves office. Trump Tower Moscow, Trump condos on NoKo beaches, and whatever he plans with Duterte in Manila.
17What the bleep does Guilianni know!
