It seems odd why this tape was even released. Cohen's lawyer said he did it, to defend Cohen. It just seems like an odd thing to do when Cohen and his lawyers are currently trying to cooperate with the feds. Seems like a hail mary move by Cohen for some reason. I'm sure over time we will figure out why this is important.
warning shot? Last chance to pardon me fool or else...

Rudi was giving a false description of what was said in the conversation. Cohen had it pushed out to correct the record.

I would guess the percent that Trump will be impeached to be at around 55% before his term is up. I suspect it will end up being about promises made regarding money with the Russians. One thing I would say to Trump is that I would not be pissing Mueller off, innocent or skirting the edges of innocence or not. The last thing he would want is a pissed off dedicated man like that digging in his heels and quietly gritting his teeth at the crap thrown his way. Most sane people would wisely walk around a snapping turtle with it's head tucked in rather than try to tickle it's nose.

I don’t see many issues here. If they were engaged in illegal activity (which seem likely) then privilege doesn’t apply. If they weren’t then the prosecution can’t use the privileged discussions but since the conduct wasn’t illegal anyway why would they?

If they were privileged and Cohen disclosed them he could be disbarred but frankly that seems like an almost foregone conclusion at this point anyway.

Well, the special master has conveniently determined that at least some of the tapes are not privileged. Given that Cohen's lawyer is trying to paint him as the good guy he probably wouldn't release privileged info.

What does that matter? He didn't do the cash, moron, that's why he has a lawyer. But hey, now I'm a Russian! awesome! I always liked Dolph Lundgren aka Drago in Rocky. I bet that's how you see me.

Your laughable post history aside, a person who thinks Lundgren is Russian because he played a Russian in a movie has no room to call anyone else a moron.

I'm beginning to worry that a guy who paid $290,000 to have sex twice, just might not be the deal-maker he told us he was.

He really has all the subtlety and cunning of a 15 year old, doesn't he?
I don't think he paid $290,000 to have sex. They voluntarily fucked him multiple times. The money was to shut them up since he was running for prez. Now that it's Mission Accomplished, nobody cares about them other than Dems.

Democrats need a fucking miracle to even hope to recapture the House. The Senate is almost certainly out of reach this cycle.
Guys, someone has come to reality. Time to follow suit. I give you props for your realization dank.

So wait, you're telling us that the self-proclaimed "party of family values" doesn't really care about family values?

Trump supporters aren't really Republican. We are using the party as a means to power, so there's your answer. I will say personally I don't like many of Trump's choices (like cheating on melania with stormy) but like Chris Rock said: I UNDERSTAND (why a billionaire would fuck pretty women on the side even if married)!

Very fine people, obviously.

So, does this mean that extra marital affairs and cover ups are now off the table in relation to politicians? I mean first the excuse was, "If he did it it was before he was a politician, so it doesn't count. He's been hand picked by Jesus." Well, he obviously was covering it up while a politician. Guess Bill Clinton is in the clear now, unless the right wants to be totally hypocritical.
Wait... Are they anything but hypocritical? How'd I miss that?

Will be interesting to find our why those were not covered under privilege. He is so sleazy it won’t be a surprise if it’s because there were crimes being discussed.
