IT BEGINS: FIRST ‘APPRENTICE’ TRANSCRIPT LEAKS

Source: The Huffington Post

There Are Transcripts Of Trump’s Unaired Moments On ‘The Apprentice.’ We Got One.
The Republican nominee was hypercritical of one up-and-coming singer’s skin.




Top Democratic operatives have offered to pay millions of dollars for unaired footage of Donald Trump on the set of “The Apprentice,” hoping to unearth another unscripted moment like the one that surfaced Friday from 2005, when Trump said he would grab women “by the pussy.”

But it’s not just videos they should be looking for. “The Apprentice,” executive produced by Mark Burnett, had a transcript service. And on some occasions, transcribers captured moments that didn’t end up on air, according to multiple sources involved in the show.

It’s not clear how many transcripts exist. Sources say that some transcribers occasionally stuck to what they felt would end up in the program, while others took notes of what was said, regardless of whether it would air.

Those at “The Apprentice” have been intensely guarded about both the transcripts and the unaired footage. Burnett is reportedly a Trump supporter who has threatened to sue employees who leak material in violation of their nondisclosure agreements.

Yet The Huffington Post was able to obtain and authenticate one transcript of an episode from the show’s ninth season. The material isn’t as jaw-dropping as Trump’s 2005 hot mic moment, but it does further illustrate the Republican presidential nominee’s obsession with women’s looks ― a trait that has drawn even more scrutiny since Trump’s boasts that his fame allowed him to grope women have become public. (Trump has denied doing this.)

Besides helping Hillary win, as she certainly deserves to, he's doing the country a great service. It's important that Trump not only be defeated; but that voters learn just how deep the depravity goes with him.

of the comment - a then up-and-coming singer. I am guessing he is talking about the freckles that she has on her shoulders and chest. The photograph at the link shows her in 3/4 profile in an off-the-shoulder dress (probably a gown).

I remember when W Bush made so many misstatements that the media decided it was so common that is was not "news". Everyone knew the guy was a dolt and so they moved on.

Ronald Reagan got the same "pass". The attitude was "Oh, there goes our Ronnie again", like he was a beloved uncle with dementia.

Now I see the lying is getting only passing mention. How can a pundit say Trump or Pence "won" a debate when 75% of their statements are lies?

Today Trump throws out a new outrage every day. How long before folk get "outrage fatigue"? How many, especially young people, will accept this as "politics as usual"?

and not just from Trump, but from Limbaugh, Hannity, Coulter, etc. They are establishing new lows.

Mark Burnett is supporting a racist, bigot and fascist republican.
