    I am quite amazed how interested are Democrats in the former sex life of Trump. When it was Clinton, they told me over and over his present and past sex life is non of our business.

    every item confiscated during that raid could be considered evidence, and should therefore be subject to public scrutiny.

    What's my "Stormy Dream"?

    Spill it straight out or just run. I expect the latter.

    If Trump didn't have the affair, how could he possibly be blackmailed?? He's always claimed he had no relationship with MacDougal... No affair - No blackmail possibility...

    Oh, and if you believe every story published by the National Enquirer is true, you might be a Trump Supporter...

    It was the progtards who spent two years pushing a fantasy conspiracy that is dying before the nation's eyes, not us! We are up net a 1,000 election since 2010, we might add a few more scalps in a few months.

    It was hypocritical of the Democrats to say that and worse that they threw innocent women under the bus. OTOH, now it's the RWers who are the hypocrites and throwing women under the bus. Sad.

    I wish Mueller would lift this cloud off of Trump sooner than later. He has thus far not connected Trump to anything wrong.

    If one of my workers got a speeding ticket, it would not kick back on me. Trump is in that condition.

    I am not tossing the prostitutes under the bus. They service millions of men.

    Enquiring minds want to know...…..or maybe not.

    Isn't this one of the stories the Enquirer quashed?

    You might want to both read your own posts before posting and also check your facts. McDougal wasn't a prostitute, she had an affair with a married man, making both adulterers.

    California's leftist powers-that-be charged a guy with a serious crime for surreptitiously recording the Planned Parenthood exec who was negotiating prices and bragging about selling baby parts and pieces for Lamborghini payments.

    Cohen has something they think is valuable so they'll give him a pass......just like they gave the guy (Scott Prouty) who surreptitiously recorded Romney's private $50K per-plate fundraiser a pass.

    Means and Ends.

    Different states have different laws about recoding people. CA requires both party consent, I believe NY only requires one.

    Texas only requires one. Also, as Trump's lawyer, Cohen may have had consent to tape, regardless if Trump remembered or not. It would make sense for a lawyer to tape phone calls for transcribing contracts and agreements.

    Yep, if it is privileged it should never see the light of day.

    Having said that - not everything a lawyer does is privileged, and it isn't privileged if it involved the commission of a criminal offence.

    yep...secret recordings are fine....secret recordings are OUTRAGEOUS!

    as I said, Means and Ends....no moral consistency, no consistency in principles, just whatever we can get away with in pursuit of our objectives.

    all while pandering to the idea that they, leftists, are America's tasty liquid moral center...("that's not who we are as Americans!")

    laugh out loud.

    Mueller is running a cover-up, never forget that. Mueller pretend interviewed for the FBI director position after Trump fired Comey. That was a farce. If Mueller had integrity, he would have never pulled a sneaky stunt like that, with something as vital to the national interests as the FBI directorship. Mueller is thick-headed, mean and vindictive. Comey is a protegee of Mueller, and look at what a vain corrupt ass he is. If Mueller had any integrity, he would have never accepted a position that involves investigating the firing of his protegee.

    To investigate this firing, Rosenstein is a key player. He not only composed the memo, but he did so with the input of Trump. There is no other human being with a clearer picture of what was in Trump's mind as he made the decision to fire Comey, than Rosenstein, yet, Mueller accepted the appointment from Rosenstein, knowing full well how compromised Rosenstein is. If Mueller had any integrity, he would have refused the appointment.

    Rosenstein used the SC statutes, written for a Criminal Investigation to conduct a Counter-Intelligence investigation. They are different animals, Mueller knew this, if he had any integrity, he would have refused the appointment.

    Mueller has used the probe as an unconstitutional impeachment inquiry, if he had any integrity, he wouldn't misuse his appointment like this.

    Mueller staffed his office with thugs, Democrats and Clinton donors, if he wanted to produce a product that would viewed as fair and impartial, in short, if he had any integrity, he would not have done this.

    Mueller took the appointment, because like all the rest of the progtards, they expected the stock market to crash, the economy to fail, Trump to be a disaster and the nation clamoring for his removal, at a peak Crescendo by mid summer in 2017, like they have done a thousand times, they once again, COMPLETELY MISCALCULATED and now they stand there with piss running down the front of their pants a load of crap in their britches and egg all over their faces.

    So, we stay clear while they work through this, have our elections and take this back up on the other side.

    We always want to project our integrity and bipartisan impulse on our opponents. They are playing for keeps, the only reason they are not cutting our throats is because they keep screwing up, not because they view us with any fondness at all. Mueller is a complete and total crook. He is of the very same corrupt culture as Comey, Brennan, Crapper, Obama, McCabe and Strzok. Mueller as a prosecutor is a vile thug. Google his history sometime, it's particularly ugly.

    I don't think the tape itself has leaked. Just it's existence.
    Probably from Cohen as a warning to Spanky.

    I wonder if the crime fighters recorded their interview with Cohen....you know, because they forgot to record their interview with Hillary...which, as it turns out, was just a formality anyway because they'd already decided to treat her offense as a 'matter' that didn't rise to the level of anything we little people should concern ourselves with.

    It's all so weird how some people are treated with kid gloves and given a pass while others are hounded to the ends of the earth. It's almost like our extraordinarily expensive, ostensibly 'by and for the people' (all the people) federal government has become completely and utterly politicized towards obtaining the objectives of a particular ideology.

    I wonder how it's all going to turn out. I really do. I will say I don't hold out much hope for a peaceful conclusion.

    At age 71, it might be Trump giving the handys, not the other way around.
