Oh, this whole thing is getting blown out of proportion anyway. Trump says it didnāt happen, the wife says it sort of didnāt and sort of did, the divorce was going on, emotions running high, and the whole original story of violent hair-pulling and rape was based on nothing but sworn testimony in a deposition and you know how those things are, depositions, everyoneās sitting around and the stenographer is writing down what you say verbatim and people say any crazy thing, itās like a locker room, you know? Nobody takes it seriously, come on.

What does understanding the question have to do with it? Regardless anything else said or quoted Cohen flatly stated current law decreed marital/spousal rape was not a crime. In or out of context, he said what he said. Thereās no wiggle room to reframe it.

Whether the rape happened or not (it probably did) this guy Cohen is a piece of work. According to the Daily Beast, when their reporter was trying to get a comment about the charges, Cohen said: "I will make sure that you and I meet one day while weāre in the courthouse. And I will take you for every penny you still donāt have. And I will come after your Daily Beast and everybody else that you possibly know,ā Cohen said. āSo Iām warning you, tread very fucking lightly, because what Iām going to do to you is going to be fucking disgusting. You understand me?ā
I smell future Secretary of State in the Trump administration.

You scared me for a second, Poeās law and all. I had to get to the end to get it.
I heard it pointed out last night that after her multimillion dollar settlement, she signed a non-disclosure agreement.

Whether or not the rape happened, no one besides Trump and Ivana can say. But Trump employs a lawyer who is blatantly ignorant of the law and stands by him when that ignorance is publicly exposed. I see a teeny problem there.

Donald: Lawyers arenāt called āmouthpiecesā for nothing. Legally, your lawyer does speak on your behalf. If you donāt like what they are saying, you fire them.

You have to assume thatās a possible factor. No smiley because itās actually not funny.
I think Eustace could comment on Poe and related subjects. Back in about '83 I read an interview with Frank Zappa in a music magazine and he asked if a particular question were facetious; when the answer was yes he said āFacetiousness doesnāt translate well into print.ā So thatās always been a warning to me but just this once, because it does seem strange to me that people can poo-poo something that was sworn to in a situation where itās actually illegal to lie.

āā¦he was very angry, and maybe he didnāt even understand the question,ā Trump told CNN on Tuesday.
An extremely competent, well compensated lawyer A)-reins in his emotions in order to deal with the business at hand and B)-doesn't misunderstand a damned thing.

That is a fact. But Trump, who could presumably afford the best in town, chose an incompetent blustering nincompoop as his special counsel.
Huh. Whattaya know.

I understand he is a member of the New York Bar. I guess the line between zealous representation and being an obnoxious asshole is way over to the asshole side in New York.
OK then. Trump is more legitimate rapist than say, Bill Cosby.
Trump: ushering in the best and the brightest.

Trump should secretly record this entire campaign process and use it for his future āYOUāRE FIREDā productions.
Heāll have a wealth of opportunities to shout those words throughout the campaign, as he winnows out the idiots he has surrounded himself with, one mini-Donald buffoon at a time.
Have to addā¦the pink tie and the flag lapel certainly contribute to the wholesale vomit-effect.
āTrump: Lawyer āNot Speaking For Meā On Marital Rapeā
Oh really.
Donald can only afford the best mini-me in townā¦ sort of limits the selection in the first place when that is your most instinctive priority.
