I'd like to hear from Pecker.
Should be fun watching Falwell run from the graduation ceremonies

Wait for an 'I have sinned' from Falwell - looks like the pool boy story is true

of Falwell, Jr. et ux and a threat of blackmail.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-politics-falwell-exclusive/exclusive-trump-fixer-cohen-says-he-helped-falwell-handle-racy-photos-idUSKCN1SD2JG
Falwell, president of Liberty University, one of the worlds largest Christian universities, said someone had come into possession of what Cohen described as racy personal photographs the sort that would typically be kept between husband and wife, Cohen said in the taped conversation.
According to a source familiar with Cohens thinking, the person who possessed the photos destroyed them after Cohen intervened on the Falwells behalf.

Cohen, who began a three-year prison sentence this week for federal campaign violations and lying to Congress, recounted his involvement in the matter in a recording made surreptitiously by comedian Tom Arnold on March 25. Portions of the recording in which Cohen appeared to disavow parts of his guilty plea were first reported April 24 by The Wall Street Journal.

(56,829 posts)12. photos between a husband and wife?
I don't know what that means? Did they make sex tapes of themselves? Between a husband & wife implies there was no pool boy involved, no?

Trump or Cohen?
