that senior people on the trump campaign were telling trump to drop out of the race, to resign. they are threatening to quit themselves. but now, from hope hicks, we know that the very next day, after the access hollywood tape comes out, as the campaign is spiraling, maybe to death, because of the "access hollywood" tape an its impact, the next day, the trump campaign goes into a totally different kind of damage control on a totally different matter entirely, because they hear that's a tape of russian hookers, lewd activities, trump in moscow? ah, number one, that means that the campaign and presumably the candidate were not, for the first time, being told about the rumored existence of the trump hooker pee tape when james comey sat the president down during the transition and very gingerly told him about it. james comey has written about that interaction with the president during the transition and he has described it as if the president appeared to be very shocked to hear about this tape.
