NBC execs had a plan to time the release of the Donald Trump audio to have maximum impact on both the 2nd presidential debate and the general election ... sources connected with the network tell TMZ.
Multiple sources connected with NBC tell us ... top network execs knew about the video long before they publicly said they did, but wanted to hold it because it was too early in the election. The sources say many NBC execs have open disdain for Trump and their plan was to roll out the tape 48 hours before the debate so it would dominate the news cycle leading up to the face-off.
As we reported, Billy Bush was bragging about the tape -- in front of NBC execs at the Rio Olympics -- in early August. NBC says it's only known about the tape for a little more than a week.
We're told the plan was to edit the tape to keep the focus on Trump and not Billy. "Access Hollywood" we're told was not going to air the portion where Trump and Billy got off the bus and Billy goaded Trump and the soap star to hug. Our sources say the tape was going to be "sanitized" to protect Billy as much as possible.
Case in point ... after The Washington Post ran the story, 'Access' aired their footage and cut out the parts where Billy looked worse -- saying things like, "Jeez! Your girl's hot as s*** in the purple!"
We've told you the plan got derailed by Hurricane Matthew. Execs decided the wall-to-wall coverage of the storm would mess up the plan to dominate the news with the Trump tape, so they were going to hold it until Monday. It didn't sit well with some staffers who wanted it out pre-debate, so it was leaked to the Washington Post.
As one source put it, "NBC really screwed Billy. They had no problem with him on the tape 'till it got leaked." The source goes on to say there was never a peep about disciplining Billy until the full tape got leaked.
Do you REALLY think this is going to change anything? Think exploding gas tanks.
Then why are they firing Billy Bush instead of promoting him to lead anchor position or something? I don’t understand this. Bush did exactly what they wanted to do, but he gets fired for it?
“With all that is known about the top-to-bottom corruption in the Media, the Clinton Machine, Government, and Crony-Capitalists, if in spite of all that the American people elect Hillary Clinton next month, the people richly deserve what’s coming.”
AMEN
depends upon party ...
They are also holding back on Cruz. Big deal. They were going to crush him with allegations of serial adultery, his religious background etc. etc. Give me a break. Cruz had no more insight than anyone else.
Oh, I doubt that they are done. There are still four weeks til election.
As I've said on previous threads:
Fasten your seat belts, it's going to be a bumpy ride to Nov 8th.
It ain't gonna be pretty - I'm moving assets to cash. I'm buying more guns - there will be a revolution and/or riots and definitely more crime - I want to protect myself and my family.
According to other reports, the execs weren't happy with the backlash against poor ol' Billy. I guess all of the crap was to hit Trump so now they are covering their asses. Looks like Billy is gonna sue, but that's probably a small price to pay for their Trump take down.
I think if Trump loses our next move will be clear—total boycott of all network TV
Whatever it takes. I don’t watch a bunch of programs already because of leftists actors involved.

OK FOLKS...
The real news here isn’t that NBC Execs colluded to bring down Trump. We expected something like that.
It’s that TMZ, seen by millions of low-info sheeple daily, IS COVERING THIS!!!!
Yikes
Hypocrites, all of them. The leftists are revolted and disgusted that Trump said "pu**y" (regarding female anatomy), in that recording between private citizens.
There was no disgust when Bill Clinton famously said that Hillary has had more pu**y than he has.
Yeah, Bill Clinton does locker room talk, and the leftists are just fine with someone in the White House talking like that, and acting on his impulses with a young intern. An official, in the highest office, doing disgusting talk and actions. Hypocrites.
They would have dug up stuff on Cruz.
is NBC the network that gave chelsea the “no show” job for $600,000/year?
The manipulators in the media need to be put in fear for their lives and freedom.
Watching MSM is like a non stop infomercial for Hillary Clinton. Wouldn’t this be boring even for a Clinton supporter?
It ain’t gonna be pretty no matter who wins. In fact if Trump wins the street violence, condoned by Obama, will be epic.
Always have on hand access to water, plenty of canned and freeze-dried food, camp stove, water purification tablets/filters, and of course plenty of ammo.
