1. They could only do that if they ran it early AND repeated it on the 25th..

Otherwise, there would be a lot of angry 60 minutes watchers and I'm sure that is not what CBS wants.

They are in part responsible for Trump.

CBS is in it for the money. Stormy is in it for the money.

My guess is they don't run it until they are completely allowed to.

I give it about a 30% chance of airing next week.

5. I give it 100% they will run it. They are not beholden to any of this. If anyone pulls the plug

it would be Stormy. She pulled the plug on allowing that 2011 interview to run ....because she got threatened.

16. I Had Heard That 60 Minutes Were Talking With Their Lawyers

As to whether they face liability if they air it.

If there is really anything noteworthy during the interview, I still think they don't air it.

17. But it would be Stormy who would be breaking the agreement...where does CBS's liability come into

it?

Oh it will newsworthy and noteworthy...this is not going to be trashbag sucks in bed and has a little dick....or trashbag likes to get spanked.

It's going to be about threats ...going back many years and current ones. Seeing trashbag in humiliating garb etc.;..would just be the cherry on top.

12. it would take him 30 seconds to tweet a denial of whatever she says

And then, to take attention away from her interview (which wouldn't be widely viewed anyway if televised without notice), he'd go right back to doing whatever he was planning on doing.

I should have posted it.

Run it tonight and get the jump on the liar and any legal desperation he might attempt.

14. If they don't have all details, and legal grounds, tied up - too easy to discredit ala Rathers/Bush

righteous story - right down the rabbit hole of obscurity for most folks outside of close watchers of politics. Like then - we now need Maximal Damage power - rather than something that quickly flies in and out of the attention public attention span.

Let it marinate and age. let it stew and reduce slowly.
That build up is more than half our desired effect.
