Remember, Billy Bush got canned from his job at the time, while Dementia Donnie got the Nuclear Codes. But I am skeptical. What if he has something on Burnett and will use it for extortion purposes.
Speaking on the Jim Acosta Show Thursday, Bush provided details as to how and why the Access Hollywood tape was initially obtained, and how evidence exists that far more yet-unseen videos still exist.
When [the Access Hollywood tape] came out, it was because a contestant in a Miss Universe pageant had said 'Donald Trump has said terrible things about me,' and he said 'I never talk like that at all,' and then NBC sent out to all their divisions 'look through your tapes, Bush said. Now, the ones they wanted belonged to Mark Burnett and are in a vault somewhere in Idaho, and those are all the outtakes from The Apprentice set.
Burnett, a thirteen-time Emmy Award winner, has a long personal relationship with Trump, with Trump reportedly once calling Burnett a special special friend. Burnett also produced Trumps popular reality television series The Apprentice, which ran from 2004 to 2017, hundreds of tapes of outtakes of which still exist and are in the possession of Burnett, Bush claimed.
Whether any of the unseen tapes will ever come to light, remains unclear. Burnett has denied being a supporter of Trumps presidency, declaring himself in 2016 I am not pro-Trump, and that he and his wife reject the hatred, division and misogyny that has been a very unfortunate part of his campaign.
However, despite Burnetts past claims, he was tapped by Trump as the special envoy to the United Kingdom, suggesting that the two may very well have made amends, and further suggesting that the television producer may be hesitant to cave to demands to release his trove of Trump tapes, which likely include well over a decade of outtakes and behind the scenes footage shot on the set of The Apprentice.

(65,300 posts)I strongly doubt there's anything he could do or say on those tapes at this point that would cost him a single supporter.
Because it's a cult, and they're idiots. And he's fucking Satan.
Release the Epstein files.
