Trump Tape

[Mountain Man]

Listen to the audio in the OP. It is clear as day. All I did was slow it down a little. First you hear it regular speed, then three times slowed down. He clearly says "Don't pay with cash"

The simple fact that the audio is apparently open to multiple interpretations (I haven't listened to it myself, largely because I don't care) means that it would fail the "beyond a reasonable doubt" test in any fair and impartial trial.

In other words, the Democrats got nothin'. Again.

There is nothing to go to trial over even if he did say what they claim. But he clearly says, "Don't pay with cash" - anyone claiming otherwise is trying to gaslight the narrative.

This is silly. It doesn't matter whether he said "don't pay cash" or not, all that matters is that he knew about it when he previously lied about knowing anything about it. They were discussing how to fix it, how Cohen was to set up the financing in a covert manner. Btw, there are now 3 other women who are said to have been paid hush money by Trump during the campaign along with S.Daniels and McDougal. Stay tuned!

Yep. What Trump said about cash is not relevant and is not the issue. It's literally everything else about the tape that matters, but Sparko seems fixated on this total irrelevancy.

Of course he lied. He lied • Edited by a Moderator •, just like every other horndog politico. But no evidence of criminality.

The evidence is the tape and the discussed attempted coverup of the finacial transaction. You Trumpsters have a odd understanding of what is evidence.

Well that IS the topic of this thread. If you don't like it, leave.

No, the cash is not the topic, the tape itself is the topic. Hence the title, "Trump tape"

It's my thread JimL. I think I know what the topic is. I even made an audio file to show what Trump said.

I still think Starlights original point in post number two is rather interesting:

So he's paying off a mistress, and we should believe his primary concern was accounting and whether it was properly on the books? I don't think that passes the smell test.

It is possible, however, that the man who had been unfaithful to his third wife due to his relations with at least two porn stars, wanted it properly in the book. I would not find it that likely though..

Nobody is saying his having an affair is OK. But it was before he was President (cough**Clinton**cough). The point is that the democrats are trying to claim he did something to hide the payoff. He did not. He was pretty open about the payoff. Wanted it on the books even.

A couple years ago a politician here was running for re-election when it was revealed that he paid off a woman he had an affair with when he was first running for office. This of course brought up a lot of issues but he said he did it to try to protect his marriage and not to conceal it from the public and it pretty much got dropped. Can't remember if he won though.

One good thing I can say about Obama is that he never had any hint of adultery during his presidency that I know of.

Well you may want to focus on the cash aspect of the TRUMP TAPE, but the Trump tape isn't about the cash. It's a conversation about paying McDougal off and how Cohen is going to go about covering up that payoff. Trying to argue about whether or not Trump said "don't pay cash" or not is irrelevant. They were obviously talking a coverup, and how to go about it, or did you not listen to the entire tape?

[Starlight]

He was pretty open about the payoff. Wanted it on the books even.

Eh? You're aware he extensively denied it in public right? Until the evidence became undeniable. And you're aware he was paying off these women to ensure their silence right? It was literally a cover-up. And now you're trying to claim he was "pretty open" about this?!
