I don’t know all of the specifics yet. Let me get this straight:
Trump was speaking in private with Billy Bush, a member of the Bush dynasty right?
Said some lewd things. And BTW, if women send ‘the right’ signals it is not illegal to kiss a woman and then do other things. In fact, women can feel insulted if you don’t kiss them after a certain amount of flirting.
He didn’t know the mic was hot, and someone recorded it eleven years ago.
Just now comes out when the Washington Post scooped someone.
But what was the chain of ownership exactly? Who held on to that tape?
Maybe we’ll know the answers to all those questions in Heaven. God know that nobody will tell the truth now.
“He didn’t know the mic was hot”
The source of the leaked material, be it Billy Bush, Wikileaks, Russia or whatever, is not important. It’s the veracity and content of the material that counts.
The candidates are responsible for things they said and did, period. Hillary criticizes the leakers. Makes no difference to me if the stuff is proven to be correct. I don’t think Trump has criticized the sources of his embarrassing leaks unless he thinks the leaks aren’t accurate.
The operative phrase that matters is that Trump said the women “LET you” do these things because you are a big star. That means consent, that means the Libscum and Mediascum keep LYING when they assert that the video is describing sexual assault. The video is not a good thing but it is NOT about sexual assault.
