    Nonsense noted. You got anything of intellectual merit to add here?

    More specious non-sequiturs. You guys are really losing it here.

    Try addressing what was actually said.

    If all you have are disjointed non-sequiturs spare the forum and it's storage space.

    If he recorded this one, I imagine there are tons of other recordings. This . . . probably is not going to end up looking good for him.

    That's a rebuttal given the thread topic that you are sprinting from?

    I agree.

    Giuliani tried to control the narrative without releasing the tape or a transcript, and paint the contents as helpful to Trump. Most know he would have released the tape if it really was helpful to Trump. Had Giuliani not mentioned it, this would have never seen the light of day. It was marked privileged, so Mueller didn't even hear it.

    It's probably easier to deal with another lie about adultery than for the Helsinki summit, or babies that still haven't been reunited with their parents, to dominate the news cycle.

    Declaring a senate vote to be some sort of precedent is just nonsense. Constitution doesn’t say “high crimes and misdemeanors, except those you failed to impeach on previously” lol

    Nobody has ever discussed impeaching Trump over sexual matters. They are only proof he is a lying scumbag but that doesn't rise to the level of impeachment.

    It's the precedent for the Senate as to what offenses a President has to commit to be removed from office. Previous impeachments were cited in the House impeachment process.

    Why should Trump be removed for far less serious matters having to do with sexual behavior, when he was not even a public official, when Clinton was not? Why should he be removed when Clinton was guilty of committing felonies having to do with it?

    A false affidavit entered into a federal court is not a witch, it is prima facie evidence of perjury and obstruction of justice. Go study up on what the term means. And it was HANDED to him he wasn't and didn't hunt for it. Get your facts straight.

    Well I think we knew that why are we spending valuable government tax payer dollars and time that should be being spent on Russian collusion investigations. Is this just to satisfy your prurient interest?

    Trump should get some sort of medal for taping that Playboy girl at his age........she was gorgeous. Stormy Daniels not so much........maybe a 'man card' reprimand from the Senate.......

    And you pulled things out of thin air for which there is no evidence or even accusation. Give something we can at least have a reasonable expectation of and why we have that expectation. You know something with a little meat and not just wishes.

    If you want to discuss an issue and support your position fine, if not don't whine about it.

    So would lying about the affair or lying about making hush payments be against the law.

    I don’t think he should, but why should the senate be denied the same powers? They can choose to exercise them or not and aren’t bound by the vote of a senate 20 years ago.

    I love how Trumps crying that it was illegal to tape him but New York state law says recording conversations is a one-party consent. The only man who knew all the laws that he doesn't no longer works for him but is turning on him LOL.

    Fwiw, this was not approved to release to prosecutors. Which means prosecutors did not have, release or leak these recodings. Which means someone else did. Which is either cohen, or cohens lawyers, or trumps lawyers

    Fwiw, guiliani says the recordings are exculpatory... so apparently thinks is a net positive for trump. Further the tapes leak removes one thing cohen could potentially testify to in order to earn a plea deal
