Delay is a common technique of Donald Trump...

In his presser, he told the media that they would "know shortly" about the tapes. But that they would be disappointed.

He has used this technique several times since he began his campaign for President. If we recall, it started with his tax returns. He said he would show us his tax returns as soon as the "audit" was finished. We have never seen his returns and we never will. Just as we will never see any "tapes".

We should know that this is his SOP by now.

And of course, the taxes. It's like a Ponzi scheme... and they always catch up to you. Ask Madoff

Maybe he and Madoff could occupy the same cell? Isn't he still alive?

There was a documentary on HBO with Robert DeNiro and Michelle Pfeiffer. Sad what happened to all those people and his family.

If it came down to an outright demand that he testify under oath, he would say that his lawyers advise him against doing it OR he would claim "executive privilege". He will never testify under oath. It is a shell game he plays with the people.

Just like the budget - ahead of schedule.

Everything is just a few weeks away. Three months later, you look in the rear view and...nada.

the next step is an illness that has his legal team saying he's not well enough to stand trial or answer questions.
