It was for the 2012 rnc. It wasn't aired probably because it wasn't funny or clever.

If it had aired no one would be talking about it.

Makes me wonder about Michael Cohen's book. Cohen has been convicted of lying. He has no credibility. If he makes claims IMO he needs to back them up with documents or better yet tapes or videos. But, not this video.

It's the 2008 deal with the oligarch that Trump thought he was making with Putin.

I hope he has documents audio or video to back up his claims.

4. What's new is how Trump perceived the deal

The 2008 deal itself is part of the public record. Trump sold an overpriced condo to a Russian oligarch in what seems to be a money laundering scheme, given how much the oligarch overpaid for the property. The new revelation is that Trump thought the actual buyer was Putin. I doubt Cohen would have video tape of it, and the documents relate to the deal that's already known.

Abramson points out that Cohen's motive to lie was greater before his deal with prosecutors, not after.

As a human being even.

We need to start a massive USPS mail campaign where everyone sends him suggestions about how and why he should just do what his buddy Epstein did.

although I wouldn't condone asking anyone to commit suicide.

Rather call him a loser, a liar, inferior golfer. Call him out on his low IQ, his too high lifts (in shoes). Call him out on all the things he thinks makes him great! Hit him in his ego! And finally, tell him to just leave the White House. Nobody wants him there!

Trump and Epstein's friendship reportedly soured after they fought over a $41 million Palm Beach mansion. 2 weeks after the home's auction, cops received a tip about underage women at Epstein's house.
