Carol Costello and Steve Malzberg are sparring lightly over Trump, and then BOOM! out of nowhere comes mention of the controversial Hillary Tapes. Costello is noticeably flustered and abruptly ends the segment before her national audience can hear the truth about the ‘chosen one.’

As a former CNN employee, I can confirm that the Hillary Protection Program is real, and it’s standard brainwashing procedure at CNN and virtually every other national media outlet. On the other hand, if these were incriminating Trump tapes, they would be played on continuous loop 24 hours per day until November.

Newly discovered audio recordings of Hillary Clinton from the early 1980s include the former first lady’s frank and detailed assessment of the most significant criminal case of her legal career: defending a man accused of raping a 12-year-old girl.

In 1975, the same year she married Bill, Hillary Clinton agreed to serve as the court-appointed attorney for Thomas Alfred Taylor, a 41-year-old accused of raping the child after luring her into a car.

The recordings, which date from 1983-1987 and have never before been reported, include Clinton’s suggestion that she knew Taylor was guilty at the time. She says she used a legal technicality to plead her client, who faced 30 years to life in prison, down to a lesser charge
