Nobody at NBC was aware of the tape's existence until Billy Bush started bragging about it at the Rio Olympics. Then they went digging in the archives.

I do feel bad for Ted to have missed out on the Trump fallout, though.

Doesn't take much to figure that one out.
But Hillary is such a better candidate than DJT, her success stands on its own merit in this here election. .. bwah ha ha. Sorry I couldn't keep a straight face on that one.

And her lackeys will dig up dirt about anyone who would be competing against her. . . anything to try and deflect from all of her failings, lies, letting Americans die on her watch, allowing confidential emails to be read by our enemies.

If Mother Teresa was running against the Hill it would be the same scenario - the Hills and her cohorts would destroy her.

The ONLY way Hill can hope to win is to destroy her opponent since she has NOTHING of value to prove she is qualified to be the POTUS. She hasn't done anything positive during all of her decades in government to improve anything for our country and citizens.

Speaking of jelly donuts, it looks as if Cruz has been indulging in quite a few of them lately.

Various sources say it was Paul Ryan's advisor who leaked the tape to Washington Post. It was a last ditch effort for the GOP to save face.

Do you know when NBC got those tapes? I haven't seen it mentioned.

And as it turns out, it wasn't NBC that revealed them. They were working on the story, but they like to get their legal and ethical ducks in a row before they release something like this. Because if they get it wrong, someone like Cruz would be the first to fulminate that NBC was releasing an unsubstantiated story.

I would disagree with the Junior Canadian from Texas.


Now, if I were in charge, I would have sat on those Bush audio tapes until AFTER the second debate (maybe just before the third debate), not on a late Friday afternoon when a lot of people were heading out for a three day weekend (thank you, Christopher Columbus!). Plus, there was still a hurricane going up the east coast, and massive damage left behind.


Indeed, one could argue that the tapes were released at a point in which the most 'minimal' harm could be done.

Oh, puhleeze! I could ask the same question. Why did Wiki suddenly release more emails when it suddenly seemed hopeless for Trump? Bernie Sanders brought up her paid speeches in the first debate last year.

Most importantly, why are there several interviews on video showing Trump praising and defending Bill Clinton? In the 90s he said the economy was great and gave the credit to Clinton. He also said Clinton was the victim, not the women who accused him of sexual assault. Doesn't this show he's a 2-faced liar?

If the media really wanted to make sure Hillary was going to win, they would have released them during the primary season. If Cruz was the nominee, Hillary would be crushing him right now.
