1. >”So, what do we got to pay for this? One-fifty?” Trump can be heard asking in the recording.

   >At one point during the conversation, Trump suggested making the payment in cash.

   Doesn’t it look a bit shady to pay off someone with $150,000 in cash? Wads of hundreds? Put in a briefcase?

2. Props to Cohen for secretly recording this corrupt POS

3. Trump would be dumb enough to put it in a large sack with a dollar sign 💰.

4. Is this the most someone has ever paid to not have sex with a woman? Art of the deal indeed!

5. About as clear cut as any case can be.

6. I guess once this is over we’ll here what kind of sex they had. My guess that there was “pegging” involved. Thus the pseudonym for Stormy Daniels in the NDA, “Peggy Peterson”.

7. Bet that woke him up.

8. …because the prosecution has ACTUAL EVIDENCE and Trump is GUILTY. This is not something Republicans ever believe possible, or in Rep. Comers case, even necessary.

9. Not really a secret. This was published years ago.

10. And the legal defense is what? And how will Trumps base react to this?

11. Why is this “allegedly?” If people are listening to a recording of it happening, can’t you drop the allegedly at that point? Legitimately asking.

12. “Allegedly”

    Gtfoh

13. Can you imagine the outrage, the indignation, the (fill in the blank) roaring out of the Republican Party daily if this were a Democrat who committed these actions? It’s so telling….

14. Downvoted this because the word “allegedly” is completely unnecessary in this context. There’s zero dispute that they were discussing the hush money payment.

15. Can it be released publicly after?

16. Imagine if this was Biden. This would have been crushing to his campaign

17. More fake conspiracy theories
