I would LOVE to learn the back story to that whole statement. Who wrote it. How closely did he stick to the script. What threats were issued to get him to say it, in the first place.

Once this is all history, I'm hoping that there will be some people who feel the need to 'unburden' themselves.

But she knew what she was getting into, being as she had called him out when she was working for Cruz.

My only question is, what is the motivation? Do people do this for the notoriety or the money? Working for Trump, it probably can't be the money since he's known to stiff more people than he pays.

she can DO things or get others to DO what she wants and that is important to her.

I saw a movie with Sandra Bullock called Chaos is our Game (I think...it's something like that) where she has that power. In the movie she turns to her better nature, but I don't see that for Con Way

I don't think Trump easily bends to anyone's advice or demands. So accomplishing anything even close to that must make you feel powerful, indeed.

But I bet there is a massive price to pay, afterwards.

his presentation was in his typical "I'm lying and I hate saying this shit" demeanor.

he makes all employees and volunteers sign a non0disclosure agreement saying they will never say anything bad about Trump for the rest of their lives.

I've seen him, quite a few times, on MSNBC, and he is not flattering.

My solution to the non disclosure is, enough similar, anonymous sources can get a whole lot of info across, sans the litigation worries.
