Even CNN’s Chris Cillizza on Cohen Tape: “I Don’t Know if it Matters. . . ” – Video 7/25/18

Even at CNN this morning, Chris Cillizza had to admit that the audio tape breathlessly played on CNN last night of a secret recording Michael Cohen made of Donald Trump in 2016 – “I don’t know if it matters.”

No, Chris! It doesn’t matter! The audio tape is a total NOTHING! The Trump Derangement Syndrome exhibited by CNN and others in the Liberal Media is truly astounding. . . .

It matters because it proves that they will stop at nothing to stop the Trump agenda.

Nothing Burger.

It matters because it proves that they will stop at nothing to stop the Trump agenda.

True, but they are armed only with hate and nothing burgers.

It matters because it proves that they will stop at nothing to stop the Trump agenda.

Yeah, and imagine their outrage if a former Obama lawyer secretly taped him and then released it.

[buffaloguy]

Possibly a planted story to replace Russia, Russia, Russia which seems to be winding down or will come to an end shortly.

[Cboldt]

What matters is that CNN's respect for attorney-client privacy is situational. If their conversations were published, they would be aghast.

Not news to anybody reading here, CNN has no ethics or principles.

[thirst4truth]

Trumps own lawyer taped conversations with his client without informing him? I don’t think Cohen deserves a pardon when this all shakes out. Cohen’s lawyer is Lanny Davis and he met with Al Sharpton a few days ago? WTH? I thought attorneys are confidants, someone who helps you privately and discreetly?

After listening to the recordings, I agree with Rudy that there is nothing there. From a morality standpoint, if the claim is genuine, the Democrats have no high ground after their electing William J Clinton to office. There is no law broken, there is no unethical request by The Donald^TM to his attorney, no mention of an affair is even wofted into the conversation. My main beef with this is, his attorney recorded the conversation without his client's knowledge, let alone consent. NY was at the time a one-party State but is no longer.

Oh, it matters about as much as Rachel Maddow’s 2005 tax return summary reveal.

CNN Obtains Trump Cohen Recording From Lanny Davis…

Posted on July 24, 2018 by sundance

This is funny…. this is actually very funny to anyone who knows Trump lingo.

Lanny is hung up on the wording “cash” from POTUS Trump and tries to spin it a particular way.  Despite what some may say, there is a possibility Lanny is not being intentionally malicious.  What Lanny is missing is the context of “cash” in relation to the question Donald Trump asks moments prior about “financing”.

Trump asks the question about “financing” from his business dealing position where “financing” equals “loans”; and he responds to Michael Cohen from the same perspective where “cash” equals “money-on-hand”, ie. not a loan.  [‘what financing? we have cash’]

Listen:

CNN obtains secret Trump-Cohen audio recording

Here’s where Lanny might be intentionally malicious.  Notice how the recording is abruptly edited to cut off right when Trump starts the sentence with the word “check”.  If the entire recording were to be released it would be a conversation like: “what financing? we have cash, use cash, just write a check”…  An ordinary transactional nothingburger.

This is silly.  Go listen again.

Good Job CNN/FB...

[Raycpa]

Last month gassing babies at border, last week treason, this week Playboy models. least boring president ever.

[madison10]

It matters if Cohen wants to quit being a lawyer. Someone must have paid the turncoat, backstabber well.

[kelly4c]

WHY would his lawyer do this? Was/is he a Dem plant?

[madison10]

$$$$$$$$$$$ is my guess.

[ground_fog]

Ya think Shilliza?

[madison10]

OR Cohen is Trump’s plant. The president approved the release of the tape.

Lanny Davis should be disbarred, too.

[Raycpa]

To get immunity Mueller needs to think Cohen has something valuable to trade.

[outpostinmass2]

Something is up. I believe only the President could approve the release of the tape. Why would he do that?
