This is has been a really crappy week for Team Trump.
It's the perfect example of the **** hitting the fan.

How many women did they cover for? How salacious? Could we be talking about child molesting here? Trump was accused of that.

New article from Vanity on the Pecker flipping.

Quote:
Pecker’s apparent decision to corroborate Cohen’s account, and implicate Trump in a federal crime, is another vivid example of how isolated Trump is becoming as the walls close in and his former friends look for ways out. “Holy sh*t, I thought Pecker would be the last one to turn,” a Trump friend told me when I brought up the news. Trump and Pecker have been close for years. According to the Trump friend, Pecker regularly flew on Trump’s plane from New York to Florida. In July 2013, Trump tweeted that Pecker should become C.E.O. of Time magazine. “He’d make it exciting and win awards!”

No but buying stories you claim you will run in your paper or other media and then sitting on them to protect someone implicated in the story is really fraud, isn't it???
Misleading the person you bought the story from is deceptive practice
That was Karen MacDougal's complaint--that she was lied to and mislead by both Pecker's organization and her initial attorney--who likely was in cahoots with Cohen and Pecker to make that deal...

Don't you just think this shows exactly how much people trust Trump--
They know he would turn on them in an instant if he was threatened...
There is no honor among thieves
Trump's conversation on Fox News yesterday when he said "flipping" should be illegal--
Why???
Because he knows how imperiled his own position is right now...

Now that the spotlight is on all those cockroaches they are scurrying to safety...

Haha.

Yeah right. He wishes. Of course he thinks it should be illegal.




Honestly this is turning out to be a Collapsing House of Cards.

Can't wait to see how the Trumpsters try to spin this one.

I guess The National Inquirer will be 'leftist' now, according to a certain poster (with a European affiliation).

Yup -- there is more to this story than JUST Cohen's words.

If I was Trump or a friend of his - or his kids or in his administration -- his best bet is to SHUT THE @#$% UP.

It's not all out there why Cohen 'flipped' as they say(or you could call it telling the truth but remember the truth isn't the truth unless Trump says it is).

It isn't just Cohen's words........oh dear.

You guys have been desperate since Trump announce he was running in 2015. It hit a new level in the early morning hours of Nov. 9th, 2016.
You guys desperation has played out daily, for over 3 years. It has worked really well.... to expose your desperation.
