White House chief of staff Mark Meadows on Wednesday appeared to hype the ominous hit job that President Trump teased the day before when he abruptly stormed out of a solo interview with CBS News’ “60 Minutes.”
I hope on YouTube so I can scroll to the end.
How can morBotus release early a video that is in the possession of CBS?
Deep fake…
do it. Probably Trump being a baby over getting fact checked
Trump will definitely look better in the unedited footage. CBS will obviously and maliciously edit out all the parts where he made rational, evidence-based arguments, showed grace and humility, and was generous and affable with Lesley Stahl. Oh, that evil, fake-news media!

Leslie Moonves can appreciate a Donald Trump candidacy.
Not that the CBS executive chairman and CEO might vote for the Republican presidential frontrunner, but he likes the ad money Trump and his competitors are bringing to the network.
“It may not be good for America, but it’s damn good for CBS,” he said of the presidential race.
Moonves called the campaign for president a “circus” full of “bomb throwing,” and he hopes it continues.
I hope Moonves is choking on those words as he watches bombs being thrown at CBS.

Meadows said. “Journalism should have standards and we need to get to the bottom of it."
So sayeth Mark “Duterte” Meadows.
Why would Trump have a copy of the video to release at all?
Is it common for interviewees to have access to unedited videotapes?
He’s just blustering again, isn’t he?
How 60 Minutes even planned on airing it is a puzzle. Surely that would violate the NDA Stahl was forced to sign.
They almost certainly had their own crew recording it. Then they could do that thing at the end of the Pythons’ Holy Grail where they say, "Hold on! Who’s filming us?"
P.S. I’ve read the problem is about what you’d figure—Trump wanted to blather on about Hunter and Obama and Stahl presumably wasn’t having it. There’s a long tradition at 60 Minutes I can remember from when I was a kid that you don’t let someone bullshit you for the whole segment without pushing back. It’s just not in their DNA to let that happen.
And give it a thumbs down.
Whatever. This is what a flailing campaign is choosing to do in the stretch drive.
ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz…
That’ll shorten that interview from 45 minutes into 44 minutes and 59 seconds.
Cuz it’s bad TV to drone on about stupid crap. On 60 minutes, Trump is a product, not a boss. Trump doesn’t get that he’s not the CEO of General Motors, he’s a right rear tire.
It will prove beyond a doubt that the interview was ‘perfect’. 
The fact that Trump’s attack ensures that 60 minutes will probably get watched more than it has in the last 5 years shows why the media has such a Faustian bargain with someone like Trump.
I won’t be watching either version.

He doesn’t. He may have cellphone footage of the interview, which most likely is what he has, which will be edited to make CBS look bad and him look good.
After the interview airs he’ll then claim CBS’ editing is fake news to make him look bad.
I have worked in the field for nearly two decades. I have NEVER seen or heard of footage being given to the subject before a piece is completed. Even then the subject usually only has the rights to the completed piece. This is however, a different time and I can’t say for certain something weird wasn’t agreed to before the interview. Even allowing a separate recording to take place is uncommon in my experience but he is, sadly, still the POTUS so I guess it’s possible and even likely tRump has his own footage of the interview.
