In case you haven't heard, CNN received a recording of a Trump-Cohen phone call from an anonymous source. J/k, they received it from Michael Cohen via his attorney.

The contents of the tape are for how to cover-up different scandals, and primarily deal with who is going to pay McDougal.

Here's an annotated version of the tape transcript via the washington post. Go to their link to see the commentary.
TRUMP: {In background} Good. Let me know what’s happening, okay? Oh, oh. Maybe because of this it would be better if you didn’t go, you know? Maybe because of this. For that one, you know -- I think what you should do is get rid of this. Because it’s so false what they’re saying, it’s such bulls---. Um. [PAUSE] I think, I think this goes away quickly. I think what — I think it’s probably better to do the Charleston thing, just this time. Uh, yeah. In two weeks, it’s fine. I think right now it’s, it’s better. You know? Okay, hun. You take care of yourself. Thanks, {Unintelligible}. Yup, I’m proud of you. So long. Bye.

[Into phone] What’s happening?

COHEN: Great poll, by the way.

TRUMP: Yeah?

COHEN: Seen it. Great poll.

TRUMP: Making progress.

COHEN: Big time.

TRUMP: And, your guy is a good guy. He’s a good —

COHEN: Who, Pastor Scott?

TRUMP: Can’t believe this. No, Pastor Scott. What’s, what’s happening —

COHEN: No —

TRUMP: Can we use him anymore?

COHEN: Oh, yeah, a hundred — no, you’re talking about Mark Burns. He’s, we’ve told him to {Unintelligible}

TRUMP: I don’t need that — Mark Burns, are we using him?

COHEN: No, no.

FEMALE: Richard {Unintelligible} I’m sorry, Richard {Unintelligible} just called. He — just when you have a chance, he had an idea for you.

TRUMP: Okay, great.

COHEN: Um, so, we got served from the New York Times. I told you this — we were …

TRUMP: To what?

COHEN: … To unseal the divorce papers with Ivana. Um, we’re fighting it. Um, {Trump attorney Marc} Kasowitz is going to —

TRUMP: They should never be able to get that.

COHEN: Never. Never. Kasowitz doesn’t think they’ll ever be able to. They don’t have a —

TRUMP: Get me a Coke, please!

COHEN: They don’t have a legitimate purpose, so —

TRUMP: And you have a woman that doesn’t want this.

COHEN: Correct.

TRUMP: Who you’ve been handling.

COHEN: Yes. And —

TRUMP: And it’s been going on for a while.

COHEN: About two, three weeks now.

TRUMP: All you’ve got to do is delay for —

COHEN: Even after that, it’s not ever going to be opened. There’s no, there’s no purpose for it. Um, told you about Charleston. Um, I need to open up a company for the transfer of all of that info regarding our friend, David, you know, so that — I’m going to do that right away. I’ve actually come up and I’ve spoken —

TRUMP: Give it to me and get me a {Unintelligible}

COHEN: And, I’ve spoken to Allen Weisselberg about how to set the whole thing up with …

TRUMP: So, what do we got to pay for this? One-fifty?

COHEN: … Funding . . . Yes. Um, and it’s all the stuff.

TRUMP: Yeah, I was thinking about that.

COHEN: All the stuff. Because — here, you never know where that company — you never know what he’s —

TRUMP: Maybe he gets hit by a truck.

COHEN: Correct. So, I’m all over that. And, I spoke to Allen about it, when it comes time for the financing, which will be —

TRUMP: Wait a sec, what financing?

COHEN: Well, I’ll have to pay him something.

TRUMP: {Unintelligible} pay with cash ...

COHEN: No, no, no, no, no. I got it.

TRUMP: ... check.

Looks like a bunch of nothing.

Yea but if you throw a bunch of shit together into one big package you can sell it as something valuable.

Kind of like those mortgage backed securities.

Fake news. Cohen's tapes aren't actually tapes, they're digital recordings.
 
That tape helps Trump more than it hurts. Most people are going to listen to it and wonder what the hell the big deal is.

"What does he mean by 'cash'!?!?!? HMMMMMMM????????"

- Some Desperate CNN Reporter


This shit is pathetic.
 
Not really new information. We already knew Cohen was setting up companies to pay off his affairs before the election.
 
Only tape I care about is the piss tape which is 100% real and spectacular by the way.

That isn't news - the "new" part is the degree to which not-Cohen people were involved, the form that involvement took, and who knew about it. There's no sockdolager in here, but it's definitely enough to justify a thread. It's not as if I'm one of those posters who makes two a day over anything, and then relentlessly bumps them.
 
I am listening to those trying to figure out the other sounds in the back ground.

I tried listening to it backwards you can hear some voice saying Satan will spread his legs.

Supposedly he says Don't pay with cash and wanted it done by check.

<{hfved}>

If someone was hiding they would want to use cash.

Dems are going to need another model to step forward. I dont think this one is going to cut it.

I don’t mind the thread. The thing I find most interesting is just how nonchalant the conversation is. This definitely wasn’t their first rodeo in paying women off.

Lol the tape says the exact opposite of this
 
The issue here is possible campaign finance violations. Not to mention Trump said he never had an affair with this McDougal so of course he lied again but I know... lies are ok as long as Trump

Give it to Cernovich, pay him $100 and he'll make it sound like Trump tried to cover up involvement in the extinction of dinosaurs 65 million years ago. And half the country would still eat it up.
 
All it does is further prove what a scumbag Trump is, but we all know they don't care.
 
When you are as Rich and famous as Trump is, doing as much business in New York of all places litigation is part of the game. So you have to play the game and consult contingency plans all the time.
