In a late-night response, Donald Trump claimed that special counsel Jack Smith, working with the DOJ and FBI, “illegally leaked and ‘spun’ a tape and transcript” of him to CNN, which he said “is actually an exoneration”.
The former president responded to the tapes – which appear to have been leaked to most major media outlets – on his Truth Social platform.
A spokesperson for the Trump campaign released the following statement: “The audio tape provides context proving, once again, that President Trump did nothing wrong at all. The President is speaking rhetorically and also quite humorously about a very perverted individual, Anthony Weiner, who was deep inside the corrupt Clinton campaign. The media and the Trump-haters once again were all too willing to take the bait, falling for another Democrat-DOJ hoax, hook, line, and sinker.”

Delusional, time to send the guys from Bellevue and lock him up in a rubber room
What does Weiner have to do with Iran?
@CTLAWER and get rid of the keys…
CTLAWYER Were you a never Trumper or is this attitude that you have of Trump new? As you see, the media has been all along going after Trump which such a vicious animosity and it’s quite disgusting to put it mildly! Worse, you have people from our community that just go along with these truly evil people. I am not saying that you should be into Trump, not at all. You could like him or hate him he’s by no means a man without flaws but at least acknowledge the terribly unfair and extreme bias and how they will do anything and everything to destroy him. Where do you think the evil mainstream media should be put? What do you think about them? What do you think about all the other terribly corrupt politicians that the media covers for?
I look forward to Trump explaining how the tape clears his of wrongdoing. The media report facts unfortunately the broadcast of Trump’s admission of guilt will taint the jury pool. If I were in his position I’d take a plea.
This is proof that the FBI is out to get Trump
Only they could have leaked it as they had the tapes
The mainstream media are a bunch of entertainers & they have no power other than fooling the people who follow them. Mr Trump wants to be the leader of the free world though he put very sensitive classified documents in unsecured places. He also didn’t get along with any of the people he brought into his cabinet. I’m more concerned about an unhealthy personality like Trump running for office over the very predictably biased reporting of the mainstream media. If Mr Trump would settle himself down & enjoy the remaining years of his life spending his money & tweeting to his followers, no one would have a problem with him. The problem is that new leadership cannot emerge in the Republican party as long as this cult like individual keeps up his political ambitions.
TOTAL IGNORANCE.
TOTAL WISHFUL THINKING.
TOTAL LIFE IN JAIL.
CTLAWYER stop wieh your hatee no one is interested in such comments
Set aside momentarily that he is an immoral degenerate menuval. He’s a lunatic! He whined that it was released “illegally”, so if it exonerates him, why complain?
My thoughts…
Trump is a nut who’s policies were great for America.
I think we’d do better with someone with equally great policies who’s not a nut.
That being said though… Trump is right that there’s a witch hunt against him. I’m not sure how many of you actually listened to the tapes, but they can be understood either way in my opinion. Being merely a recording, one loses a lot of context. It could be him being the typical sarcastic Trump, or it could be him being illegally callous and irresponsible with classified documents. Very hard to tell.
My personal belief is it was Trump being his typically sarcastic self and there were no actual classified documents being inappropriately handled. But it’s the jury that will have to decide and it can go either way. Time will tell.
In either case, it’s time to move on. He is a nut, who was vilified and attacked inappropriately, but is now tainted now and we can do better.

No, I was never a Trumper.
I was never a Republican
I have disdain for Trump that goes back 35 years (long before he entered politics), when he tried to beat family business out of more than $300,000 on a telecommunications equipment and installation contract.
He has no morals, is an admitted serial adulterer.
He is a pathological liar (one who believes his own lies) and a danger to society as evidenced by his instigated insurrection of January 6, 2021

I have no hate for Trump. I have disdain (look it up and see the difference) and pity for a little man with visions of grandeur whose Ponzi scheme has collapsed all around him.
In other news, Trump said that white is black and the sun rises in the west. Trump followers are now looking for a language where something sounding like “white” actually refers to the color commonly referred to in English as “black”, and are insisting that all maps printed since the beginning of time mislabel “east” and “west” – which they obviously did at the request of the “deep state” just to make Trump look bad.

It proves he was guilty, but may suggest a possible defense (that he thought he had rights to keep the documents, which undermines the “mens rea” requirement for conviction).
We find some people who proclaim that we owe “hakores hatov” to trump. Shlomo HaMelech writes, חסד לאומים חטאת and Chazal expound on this, one shitah is that an akum only does “chesed” for self benefit, not for others. No hakores hatov is required.
CTLAWYER – so you’re saying you “disdain” him (since before it was cool) because you have a personal financial bias that fuels your sourpuss feelings that you use to justify being kofer tov to a man who was very generous to klall Yisrael? Got it.
