Unless it's released, the "Grope Tape is nothing"

[brettdale]

Twitter going off, there is a video tape of Trump at a donor's function, groping a teen girl.

Unless the tape gets released, not really a October surprise is it.

1. The fact it's peddled without proof is not a good look

If it exists release, otherwise, lets focus on the fact he's a dangerous narcissist that wants to overthrow democracy. That we have proof of.

6. Right wing is peddling it

Claiming whatever is about to be released is fake. They seem pretty freaked out by it.

But even if there is a video, they already have their talking point: It’s fake. They’ve spent most of the afternoon trashing Kelly saying Trump never said those things, that Kelly is just a disgruntled, jealous staffer.

2. Exactly we all know he is a grouper, pervert and an "alleged" rapist.

And his MAGAloon folowers still worship him!

Unless it’s on a tape somewhere they will not believe it and probably will be ok with it!

3. seems like something

...more than the nothing some folks associated with his campaign are bending over backwards to convince us it is.

Follows a pattern and reputation of the accused, including a conviction for same.

4. probably going to be lots of these types of things in the next two weeks nt

5. Exactly, it doesn't pass the smell test otherwise.Otherwise somebody would just release it without notice

7. On a post here this AM, a DUer was saying that there was something like damage control going thru RWistan.

Whatever, eyes on the prize.

8. If such a tape exists. Why was it not turned over to law enforcement? Sexual abuse of a minor should not be political

fodder. Someone has evidence of crime against a minor and instead of going to the police, they are shopping it to the media?
I am calling BS on this so called tape until proven otherwise.

14. I am assuming neither the girl or her parents filed a complaint with law enforcement.

the issue will disappear unless it is shown. But it will be edited to hide the girl's identity and since she was a minor the actual act will be edited is such a way that it will be tough to determine what happened. And without the girl or her parents permission, then any claim will mean nothing and be fodder for a lawsuit.

9. Jeff Epstein

There’s video of him groping young women with Jeff Epstein and no one cares.

10. He wouldn't grope ..... uhhh .....

11. Agree

It’s in the same trash bin with the pee tape.

15. Good comparison - Trump used that claim to defuse the many more likely elements of the Steele accusations

Then he had Barr "define" the Mueller Report as he hit the full report.

The Trump team would love a made up claim that they could use to say the "Democrats are lying about him and defaming him." Even as the fake stories have, by and large, been from RW conspiracy nuts.

Here if asked, former prosecutor Harris should respond that if this has any truth, it should be reported to LE by people with direct knowledge.

12. I hope it isn't released if it exists. It needs to be handled by law enforcement if a minor is involved.

13. Talk is cheap, let's see it .....nt

16. Seems like a distraction

If it exists, release it.

And what was the nature of it really? Did his hand brush something during a hug, was it a mistake? Or did he do something really over the line, like clearly grab something he shouldn't have.
