Enquiring minds want to know!

since it was his show and it was maybe done for Jeb. It seems so long ago...

Strange the way that Hollywood tape was just shrugged off. When it came out you thought, "There! That has to be the end of him!"

Wonder if social media psy ops twisted weak minds into thinking it made Donald sexy and masculine, and made HRC simply look old (in comparison to the women mentioned on the tape). We still know so little about subliminal mind control and mass media.

Maybe there's evidence of Cohen making an offer to try to suppress it that was ultimately not accepted?

I agree.

They still don't know and might never know who's got what on him

These would probably be seen as in-kind contributions to the campaign.

If after everything it was sex that brought him down

FBI agents who raided the home, office and hotel of Donald Trump's personal lawyer sought communications that Trump had with attorney Michael Cohen and others regarding the infamous "Access Hollywood" tape that captured Trump making lewd remarks about women a month before the election, according to sources familiar with the matter.

The warrant's specific reference to Trump is the first known direct mention of the President in a search warrant, and sources said it appeared in connection with "Access Hollywood."

One of the sources said the warrant also referenced an investigation into wire fraud and bank fraud. CNN previously reported FBI agents removed Cohen's computer, cell phone, business files and financial documents, according to the source.

The search warrant also sought communications between then-candidate Trump and his associates regarding efforts to prevent disclosure of the tape, according to one of the sources. In addition, investigators wanted records and communications concerning other potential negative information about the candidate that the campaign would have wanted to contain ahead of the election. The source said the warrant was not specific about what this additional information would be.

I doubt that the FBI would be executing raids based on just an attempt to suppress the tape. Both parties had motivation to bury the tape, im sure it didn't take much to convince NBC to not release it.

that with the release of the tape, a number of women had come forward attempting to tell their sexual assault stories and the investigation might actually relate to Cohen trying to pay them off to keep them out of the news.

One other idea that wasn't broached was that Cohen knew the tape was out there and was probably trying to keep it from being leaked, but perhaps doing so by making the type of "mafia-like threats" that he is known for.... But it eventually got out there anyway. Perhaps some of those staff who were on the receiving end of any "threats" might have come forward and provided "proof".
