Trump has done shit like that before, leaking what would be normally thought of as "bad" press to distract.

I think Mueller did us all a solid by releasing today, and bringing the media back on track. Trump ain't the only one who knows how to play the media.

That is possible

Let’s hope that was the strategy, which leaves the bloody corpse of his marriage in the wake

Pretty damn good acting job, though, if she’s in on this part of it

But, then.....

It's always about him.

I suspect there are more horrible details of his crime spree that could overshadow any embarrassment brought on by the Pee Pee Tape (unless that is more heinous than we can imagine).

making plea bargain deals with them and continuing a very complicated investigation.

Obfuscate, distract and entertain.

He could have confessed to collusion from day one.

Congress still wouldn't have acted.

35% of the population would've said they didn't care or didn't believe him.

The rest of us have known since before Election Day.

Everyone already knows he's a faithless scumbag with no respect for women - many of his base applaud that

Right now, thump has Ryan and McConnell in the palm of his hands. He can get away with ANYTHING (remember the sanctions law that he unilaterally discarded?). But things could go left if the public notices that he committed treason, especially if his precious FAUX NEWS decides to cover it.

In the meantime we can all sit back, eat popcorn, and organize to vote the Republicans out of office in 2018.

On January 22, 2018, Common Cause filed an FEC complaint about the Stormy Daniels payment. Cohen's public statement was made in conjunction with his filing a response to that complaint. While his response wasn't yet public, he made his statement to get out in front of the story in case his response leaked or otherwise was made public.

Government by Congress, trump, and his Cabinet.

How many people knew about the ADA vote in the House yesterday before Rachel M covered it on her show?
