tapes basically were released of Donald Trump and Michael Cohen discussing a payoff to former
Playboy playmate Karen McDougal. Now, Michael Cohen recorded that conversation. It was submitted in the upcoming trial that
he's facing. His team had marked it as privileged content.
Now, all of that is important. Now, there's more to that story. But I have to interject with what Donald Trump
did this weekend. Donald Trump woke up early Saturday morning
more pissed off than usual and he took to Twitter, which started about a three-day Twitter
rage that still continues to this very moment.
But he tweeted out the following here, he
said: "Inconceivable that the government would break
into a lawyer's office early in the morning, almost unheard of! Even more inconceivable that a lawyer would
tape a client. Totally unheard of and perhaps illegal." The good news is that your favorite president
did nothing wrong. Now, forget the fact that yeah, it's totally
legal and completely heard of for the FBI. To raid somebody's office, but let's go to
the part about Cohen here, the even more inconceivable that a lawyer would tape a client, totally
unheard of and perhaps illegal.
It's actually not illegal. In the state of New York, as long as one party
knows that they are recording, they do not have to alert the other party. Seems odd, but that's the law. So, Cohen was acting under full protection
of the law by doing this.
But Donald Trump is out there raging about
Cohen doing something potentially illegal. And I don't think Donald Trump understands
this, but when there's basically one guy who knows every dirty thing that you've done for
the last 25 years, probably not a good idea to accuse that person of doing something illegal. Because as we all know, Michael Cohen right
now is currently debating whether or not to flip on Donald Trump and if Trump thinks the
best course of action is to attack this man on Twitter, then I can promise you the only
person this is going to end badly for is Donald Trump himself. But I think there's more to it.
Because on Friday, a report from Axios came
out saying that Michael Cohen, amongst his friends and in private, was questioning whether
or not Donald Trump was even fit to be the president of the United States. He also, earlier in the week, had given an
interview where he spoke with George Stephanopoulos, and said that his loyalty, Cohen's loyalty
is to his country. Which was a strong implication that Donald
Trump was not loyal to America following his meeting with Vladimir Putin in Helsinki. So Trump had many reasons to be unhappy with
Michael Cohen, and this whole drama is only going to get worse.
As I mentioned, there's a little bit more
to the story about why Trump's outrage here is phony. We're gonna cover that a little bit later
today. But nonetheless, Trump needs to understand
Michael Cohen is probably one of the few people in this country that knows for certain whether
or not Donald Trump has broken the law at any point in the last 30 years. And he is the one who right now is having
to make the very tough decision about whether or not to take those secrets with him to the
grave, or hand them over to prosecutors and end this disaster of a presidency..
