    Giuliani waived privilege on this recording for Trump. Seems like Trump leaked it. Could get Trump into trouble and lose his privilege on any other recording on the same "issue".

    It also sounds like a recording that Trump and Cohen purposely made to provide cover in case they got caught. Trump suggesting writing a check is laughable.

    I can't imagine that those NDA's would stand up in court if challenged. People working in federal office take an oath.

    I realize you are confused because there are SO MANY investigations going on thanks to this historically corrupt administration. This thread is about Cohen's tapes implicating Trump as an unethical, immoral dirtbag who doesn't care about anyone but himself. If you would like to start another thread about Mueller or the Manhattan Madam, go right ahead.

    Poor Melania, having to put up with the sleazoid in the White House. Surely she will leave him, right? Conservatives called Hillary Clinton every name in the book for not leaving Bill. So I fully expect conservatives to stay consistent and demand Melania leave this serial adulterer. He was having sex with hookers and porn stars while she was pregnant! Is this the new conservative family values?

    Would you mind supplying the recording to allow the rest of us to see if it does as you claim and to find out if there are laws broken by Trump or is it Cohen?

    What you write describes an attorney's ethical duty, not attorney-client privilege. We already know Cohen is unethical, so he has no problem violating that duty.

    I assume you are referring to Mueller? He didn't seize this tape. It was the NY State prosecutors.

    If you have any evidence of who actually leaked this, please provide a link.

    Wait a minute there pardner. We went after Bill and Hillary over sleaze events while both lived in the White house. Bill was a dirtbag and she defended him.

    I'm not confused that Mueller is WAY off base and needs to focus on Russian collusion and get his investigation over rather than investigating prostitutes and where did the Cohen investigation start?

    And it was considered privileged, so the US Attonies didn't have it. So it is between Cohen and Trump. The smart money is on Trump.

    How ironic that he will be outed as a "leaker"?

    I would believe right now, given I have yet to hear said recordings, that a judge would toss all of that out as inadmissible.

    Empty claims refute nothing.

    It really escapes you?

    Why do you think the Lewinsky matter was a matter of interest? What do you think the Gennifer Flowers scandal was about? What do you think Clinton meant when he made sure Jones knew he knew her boss? What was Clinton trying to trade with Wiley?

    I didn't vote for Bill Clinton.. I just remember the one lady that recanted twice under oath and the other who said Clinton was the love of her life.

    That’s not how it works but it doesn’t matter because the story just broke that trump has waived all privilege associated with the tape.

    Here we are in a new Cold War with Russia that will get worse and a growing trade war with China that shows every sign of getting really bad. NATO is a joke and the only that keeps Europe afloat are central banks. The U. S. economy seems to be in better shape but everybody is deep in debt and not getting ahead, except for the 1%. And so we're obsessed with who Trump was humping? Does that make sense to anybody who has any sense in the first place? We've all got many more important things to worry about than this kind of silly crap. The only people who care are liberal democrats who hate Trump's guts and their goons in the mainstream media.

    Who cares? Trump has plenty of other legal problems. The tapes merely reinforce the image of Trump as an unethical, immoral, incorrigible scumbag, and shows that Trump Trolls don't care about what's good for the country.

    I tend to agree here; Clinton didn't "reward sexual favors", he used his power to threaten and intimidate. I have no doubt Hillary was complicit.

    Yeah, that's the ticket!!! Mueller ought to stick to what the investigation was originally about and avoid any silly sexcapades like the real pro, Ken Starr and his buddy Brett Kavanaugh did. Also, wrap this thing up immediately like the Starr/Kavanaugh team did....They finished up in a couple months!!!..This is an outrage!! Lol....You guys' hypocracy is a sight to behold! PRICELESS.....Now come back a parsin'...You are the King of it...

    First, it depends on Trump's prenup. Second, a major difference between Hillary and Melania is that Hillary (remember Billary?) inserted herself into politics whereas Melania wasn't happy about the election results, has avoided politics but when she hasn't, it's been against her husband. Let's not pick on Melania, okay? Unlike Hillary, she's done more to stand against Trump than Hillary ever did to stand against Bill.
