Dana Bash and Gloria Borger on CNN said their sources told them...


They said some of the recordings Cohen made are with VERY prominent, important people and the tape's content will be embarrassing and problematic for all involved.

Hmmm, as far as I know Cohen only had three clients but correct me if I'm wrong: Trump, Broidy and Hannity. Oh my!

Tightening up yet Sean? Broidy, why did you use Cohen for your little "problem"? Maybe you were NOT the sperm donor after all?

not just the average Jane or John Doe.

Wonder who they are and what was the subject matter?

Strongarming people to help out Hannity or Trump. Anyone.

Hope we find out!

playing games w the same in his properties. Many of which I'm sure were wired for sound. They will be in the "Sound and Media Room" at the Trum p Presidential Library. Rich people, playing around. Claiming they "work hard."

....and make the reviewee squirm for a couple of hours.

Then he'd take them home and play them for his wife to show how much of a "man" he was! Presumably they helped with his "performance issues" and bolstered his ego with his wife.

I am sure that Cohen had plenty of tapes that will make Trump look like the animal that he really is.

Really Donald? You think you're the only one that's entitled to "rat" someone out or screw them over?

of tRump saying a lot of awful, bad or illegal things, not realizing his phone calls were being recorded, and not just with Cohen.

Most newer VOIP phone systems have the phone recording feature built in: date, time, WAV file recording. It's all logged, mostly so that callers cannot say they didn't say something over the phone. A legal or Real Estate office or financial institution would be advised to use such phone capabilities.

The phone recordings are usually stored for some time. Cohen wouldn't necessarily need to do anything or get involved, it would just be something his phone system would do as a normal course of business.

Imagine the possibilities.

Mares eat oats and Does eat oats, and Mulligans and pardons.... Don't know why that popped into my head. I'm manic with all the latest news. It may really be time to make the popcorn. I may need Propofol to sleep.
