Maddow making a case that Trump’s team leaked the McDougal payment audio.
The recording was actually privileged material. Prosecutors never got it. Only Trump’s team and they put it out.
Why Trump's legal team would leak Cohen playmate hush money tape
The Trump team leaked it as a distraction to take the conversation away from all of this week’s Russia news. He’s also again back discussing the NFL national anthem issue.
The guy has been doing this since he began running for office. He knows that the media is only interested in ratings, so they will always run after any tweets that he puts out there and they’re gonna trip over themselves to “break” some new news.
It’s been working well for him. He’s done so much shyt that a normal president would have already been impeached for, but the media simply moves on to the “next” controversy allowing him to get away with the “last” controversy.
Just think about this for a second.....
All day every single day for about 6 months straight, every major media outlet was discussing Rev. Jeremiah Wright and forcing Obama to apologize because the Reverend said “The chickens have come home to roost” during one of his old sermons. Something, by the way, that right-wing pastors have also said but were never criticized for.
Now think about ALL the foul shyt Trump and his alt-right associates have done, which has gotten a small milli-fraction of sustained scrutiny from the media.
It’s bullshyt.
