The private conversation between Billy Bush and Donald Trump was surreptitiously recorded by someone. It was provided to NBC approximately eleven years later and shortly before the October 9th presidential debate. We have not been told by whom or why, but it's not difficult to figure it out.
As reported in an October 7, 2016 Washington Post article titled An unlikely Bush finally did some damage to Donald Trump: Billy Bush,
Billyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M9uf1AqoBOw Bush is first cousins with former Florida governor Jeb Bush, who was favored to win the Republican nomination before Trump came along and started calling him "low-energy" and attacking him daily on the stump.That means Billy Bush is also first cousins with former president George W. Bush, who Trump has suggested is to blame for 9/11 and who started an Iraq War that Trump has labeled a disaster.
And he's a nephew of former president George H.W. Bush, who has reportedly said he will support Hillary Clinton over Trump, and former first lady Barbara Bush, who has said "I'm sick of" Trump and that she doesn't know how women can vote for him.
None of the Bushes is backing Trump in this campaign. And those who have tried have failed to halt his momentum.
But they continue to try.
I don't know who recorded the Trump-Bush conversation or why. Nor do I know who released the recording or why. However, according to Wikipedia,
After working as a correspondent on Access Hollywood, a syndicated entertainment-news show from 2001 to 2004, Bush was a primary anchor from 2004 until 2016, when he left to become a co-host of the third hour of The Today Show.
Although there has been speculation that NBC might fire Bush as a Today Show anchor, that apparently will not happen.
An NBC executive said Saturday Billy Bush would remain a "Today" show host despite his role in a shocking 2005 video with Donald Trump in which they discussed groping women.There are no plans to take Billy off the show Monday, and there have been no discussions of any type of disciplinary action, the exec said.
Another well-placed executive said Saturday that it would be difficult to take action against Bush because the vile talk with Trump happened 11 years ago. [Emphasis added.]
"What are they going to do, suspend him? For something that happened a decade ago?" the executive said. There's been a lot of water under the bridge since then.
In any event, Bush was Trump's host on the Hollywood Access bus where they had their conversation. To speculate that he recorded their conversation, apparently without making Trump aware that he was doing so as NBC has acknowledged, and/or had principal access to the recording, and that he or another member of the Bush Clan released it to NBC just before the next Trump-Clinton debacle debate would not be over the top. Writing at American Thinker, Greg Richards says outright that
This was a conversation meant to be private. The person disgraced by this conversation isn't Trump; it is Bush. First recording and then publishing this conversation are the actions of a person with low or no character, a bottom-feeder never to be trusted with anything.
He is probably correct. In any event, guy talk of the sort in which Trump and Bush engaged is harmless -- unless and until it has been made public. Then, it can damage the reputation of the jokers but also females about whom they were joking. It probably won't harm the female in the case, because she rejected Trump's advances. Good for her.
The Clintons' hypocrisy
Bill Clintons predatory conduct toward young women was substantially more damaging to them than to either Clinton. Hillary's disparagements of, and threats to, Bill's victims are in a different class altogether than anything Trump did or said or has even been claimed to have done or said.

According to Hillary, it's all about Hillary:

Not really:

Ms. Lewinsky talks a lot about "public shaming." Has Trump been "publically shamed" for his guy talk? The Clinton campaign, the media and some Republicans are doing just that.
Here's a link to a list of other female victims of "Slick Willie" and "Crooked Hillary."
Conclusions
Today (October 9th), Democrats told Trump to leave Bill Clinton out of tonight's debate because it's old news. Yet Trump's guy talk eleven years ago should apparently be fair game and they want to "focus on the issues." Right.
Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi struck a similar chord in an interview with NBC's "Meet the Press" host Chuck Todd, saying that she did not believe Trump would bring up the former president. "No, because you know why? Elections are about the future. They're about the future. He's talking about something, Bill Clinton, he's not on the ballot."
But Hillary, Bill's enabler and enforcer, is on the ballot. And she is dangerous.

We don't know why the guy talk tape was released shortly before the October 9th debates but in ample time for trump to be publicly shamed by it, but it's not difficult to figure out why. As noted here,
[I]f you want to destroy someones reputation or credibility or both, you simply accuse him of the same type of thing you have been doing yourself and with the help of a compliant and prostitute media you can usually bring it off and appear to be taking the moral high ground, when actually your high ground is usually lower that that of the person you are trying to drag through the mud. [Emphasis added.]. . . .
[T]he whole deal here is to make Trump look horrendous to the public at large right before the next presidential debate, which is tonight, October 9th. Why they had to hold one of these things on a Sunday is beond me. They couldnt have waited until Monday? They had to drag this thing into the Lords Day?
That the intent of this tape is to portray Trump as the scum of the earth there can be no doubt. And its effect has been demonstrated among the gutless wonders that parade as Republican politicians as they rush to distance themselves from Trump on so-called moral grounds. Most of them owe their souls to the Ruling Republican Establishment and so never wanted Trump to begin with, as his candidacy threatened to disrupt the CFR/Trilateralist agenda of their bosses for moving this country toward One World Government. [Emphasis added.]
So lets attempt to put this into perspective, looking at the situation as it pertains to Trump and the Clintons. For Trump, this is one comment he made eleven years ago. As far as the prostitute press is concerned he might as well have said it ten minutes ago, but he said it eleven years ago. And he has apologized for it. Not that this makes any difference to the managed media. The comment is touted and the apology ignored. [Emphasis added.]
. . . .
So here we have something that Trump said, but it was only talk, lewd locker room talk admittedly, but still talk. Kind of like the talk we hear about Hillary being indicted for her corruptionjust talk.
Yet we are now supposed to concentrate totally on Trumps talk and totally forget all about Hillarys thoroughgoing corruption over the decades. And we are also supposed to disremember all things pertaining to her significant other and what he did to all those women whose names you all have seen in the news over the years and we are all now supposed to forget how Hillary was basically an enabler for her husbands activities and how she tried to silence all the women that brought rape allegations against Bill. We are all supposed to forget Monica Lewinsky and the blue dress and all that like it never happened. None of that is to be remembered tonight at the debateonly Trumps eleven year old statement. All Klinton indiscretions are to be forgottenwiped out of memory as surely as Hillarys email servers were wiped off and Trump is to be raked over the coals not only by Hillary, but also by the supposedly neutral moderator who, in reality, will be the second person on Hillarys debating team. [Emphasis added.]
Yep. And most Republicans appear to think that's what's going on. According to a survey of 1,549 registered voters, including 1,390 likely voters, which was conducted on Saturday by Politico/Morning Consult poll,
While 70 percent of Democrats called on Trump to leave the 2016 race, only 12 percent of Republicans said the same. And of those Republicans, only 13 percent of women said Trump should drop out.
A substantial majority of Democrats want Trump to drop out. Might that be because they have a sense that he will defeat Hillary?
Are you not referring to Trump’s pussy comment as deranged and utterly delusional?
The Bush family are frauds.
George H. W. Bush’s father, the late Sen. Prescott Bush, was the first treasurer of the group that later became known as Planned Parenthood. He was never a conservative.
George H. W. Bush was pro-choice before losing to Reagan in the republican primaries. He changed from pro-choice to pro-life to get on the ticket. In other words, it wasn’t because of his beliefs, he had to do it politically to get on the ticket with Reagan. Clearly, he’s not a man of conviction.
G. H. W. Bush is also one of the early globalists (nothing more than redistribution of wealth). He was on the secret flight with Kissinger to set up the meetings between Nixon and the Chinese. He was later ambassador to China. His New World Order and globalist policies are something we’re all paying for now.
Most the Bush women are pro-choice — Barbara, Laura, Barbara, etc. They’re absolute frauds.
I believe W may have been the most socially conservative of the bunch but he was clueless. He certainly wasn’t fiscally conservative.
The Bushes think it’s their birthright to be in political power. They do it to feed their family ego. They certainly don’t do it to improve the lives of Americans. They’re frauds and I will never vote for another one.
The Democrats have mastered the art of the politics of personal destruction. Of course it was coordinated, timed, planned. Hillary has destroyed a lot of people over the years.
I do like their place in Maine dirty bastards dont deserve to live in a place like that
“If Billy Bush was in possession of this video, why didnt he release it during the primary to help cousin Jeb?
Why hold it until now?”
You will remember there was a damning tape of Obama in the 2008 election. The L.A. Times bought the tape so that it could not be used against Obama. They may have destroyed it by now.
If Billy Bush was a good Republican why did he not destroy the tape the same as the Times did for Obama?
no, I was referring to the people blaming the revelation on george bush as deranged and utterly delusional.
For yur reading pleasure.
I bet it was part of ordinary Access Hollywood lengthier recording intended to be edited. It languished in their archives for years until someone remembered it or found it while looking through what are no doubt a large number of Trump files.
This bragging was intended to be a lot less ‘private’ and ‘locker room’ than some are portraying. It’s a Hollywood celeb bragging. No one should be surprised at all.
The Bushes fingerprints are all over this one. It is fairly certain that this was an attempted coup. I doubt whether the Clintons would release this type of material given their history and the opportunity it opens up to go after them.

Nurse backs up Clinton rape charge
Attended Broaddrick's wounds after alleged assault in Arkansas
June 26, 2003
[a few excerpts from article...]
Kelsey recalls Broaddrick saying the meeting with Clinton began with small talk, and "she was a little surprised he was by himself."
"She said he was showing her locations outside the window there in Little Rock, and then, all of a sudden, he just kind of grabbed her and started kissing her," remembers Kelsey.
"He overtook her and pushed her to the bed, and from that point on it was just a rape."
Kelsey says Broaddrick explained how her lip became swollen: "He bit her lip to try to keep her from struggling with him.

From 1999...
By Daniel J. Harris Although the White House has successfully intimidated NBC News into deep sixing an explosive interview with an Arkansas woman who says Bill Clinton raped her 20 years ago, Capitol Hill Blue has confirmed that the charge is but one of many allegations of sexual assault by the President. A five month investigation into the President's questionable sexual history reveal incidents that go back as far as Clinton's college days, with more than a dozen women claiming his sexual appetites leave little room for the word ''no.'' Juanita Broaddrick, an Arkansas woman who worked on Bill Clinton's campaign when he was attorney general, told NBC's Lisa Meyers two weeks ago she was raped by Clinton. NBC, under intense pressure by the White House, shelved the interview. The White House also threatened Fox News Tuesday after it reported the story. But Broaddrick's story is only one account of many sexual assaults by Clinton. Among the other incidents:
In an interview with Capitol Hill Blue this week, the retired State Department employee said he believed the story of the young English woman who said Clinton raped her in 1969. ''There was no doubt in my mind that this young woman had suffered severe emotional trauma,'' he said. ''But we were under tremendous pressure to avoid the embarrassment of having a Rhodes Scholar charged with rape. I filed a report with my superiors and that was the last I heard of it.'' Capitol Hill Blue also spoke with the former Washington fundraiser who confirmed the incident, but said she would not go public because anyone who does so is destroyed by the Clinton White House. ''My husband and children deserve better than that,'' she said. The other encounters were confirmed with more than 30 interviews with retired Arkansas state employees, former state troopers and former Yale and University of Arkansas students. Like others, they refused to go public because of fears of retaliation from the Clinton White House. Likewise, the mainstream media has shied away from the Broaddrick story. Only The Drudge Report and other Internet news sites have actively pursued it. The White House did not return calls for comment Tuesday night. https://web.archive.org/web/19991007004657/http://www.capitolhillblue.com/Feb1999/020399/clintonrape020399.htm

I believe this is Hillary’s big October surprise, sine her whole campaign is predicated upon her imaginary War on Women.
It had to be release Friday, because of the Very, Very, Damaging information being release about the connections between the White House and Clinton Foundation.
So no, just before the debate all that can be talked about is slime, not issues.
That flamer was on with Howie Kurtz this morning and he seemed as gay as the day is long. He wouldn’t answer where he got it which is VERY sketchy. He dodged any question regarding where it came from or who had this for all this time without releasing it.
Kennebunkport is a nice place for elitist blue-blood skull and crossbones members.
it’s water under the bridge and happened 11 years ago and no repercussion for Billy’s job (confuser of the truth to the public on a tv “news” show), but it’s like it happened yesterday and the worst thing in the world for Trump’s potential job (fixing the mess of this country)?
If the conversation is really tantamount to sexual assault, Billy Bush should resign from the Today Show. If he refuses, NBC needs to fire him and set the example for Trump.
If NBC doesn’t fire Bush, then they are admitting the conversation is not a big deal and their “news” department needs to STFU.
you are defending the clintons so you can attack george bush. this thread needs an enema.
Good point and one that had not occurred to me. Please email the Trump campaign. They might consider having a surrogate use that argument.
In private. 11 years ago . Bushes. Pfft. Makes me want to vote for Trump even more.
THIS JUST IN TO OUR NEWSROOM:
At the time Donald Trump was recorded via that alleged hot mic 11 years ago in Billy Bushs bus, he was a DEMOCRAT!
On the basis that such behavior is normal for Democrats, the Clinton campaign and the DNC have issued a formal apology and pulled back the negative radio and TV campaign spots set to air starting Monday
