Trump’s Off-Air Apprentice Tapes Are Now National Security Risks
The single “Access Hollywood” NBC hot mic tape from 2005 has seriously destroyed the projected image of Trump’s character, cost him important Republican endorsements, disappointed donors, given evidence of sexual assault crimes, and violated many laws against workplace sexual harassment at NBC. He and NBC might still be sued for any of these instances.
Twenty people have told the press that Trump committed sexual harassment on the set of the ” Apprentice”. The off-air tapes are said to more destructive to Trump than the single Access Hollywood tape. There is a non-disclosure agreement with a fine of $5 million.
Update: Oct. 10. Mark Burnett, producer of the Apprentice has said that he is not going to sue anyone for release of the tapes or transcripts, and that he supports Democrats, not Trump, as earlier stories had said.
Obviously, anyone who has possession of a tape or computer file of the tape, would be able to blackmail Trump and force him to be friendly to a country which is our enemy, or to a foreign dictator. He might even be forced to hire an agent of a foreign country to his administration or say, as his campaign manager.
Similar to the treatment of Clinton’s emails on her private server, all of the original off-air Apprentice tapes and any copies of them have to be immediately impounded by the FBI. All of them must be examined, and any instances of workplace sexual harassment or references to any sexual harassment crimes must be catalogued, reported on publicly by the FBI for indict-ability, as was done in Clinton’s case, reported to the Department of Justice, and investigated by the Senate or House Government Oversight and Reform Committee, and eventually made public on a government web site. If there is even a single sexual harassment crime on the tapes, and if Trump becomes President, the House must file for impeachment of the President, as happened to Bill Clinton.
The National Security Risk is much more directed to Trump here, than in the Anthony Wiener sexual harassment case, who was only connected to candidate Hillary Clinton through his wife Huma Abedin, who is Clinton’s aide. Clinton went to the candidates’ security briefing by herself, and would not have been allowed to tell Ms. Abedin any classified information. Trump himself went to the security briefing, although he brought along Lt. General Michael Flynn, a reporter for Russian propaganda agency Russia Today. The Trump campaign made a big deal out of the Anthony Wiener sexting as a national security risk, even though none directly existed. In Trump’s off-air Apprentice case, the blackmail security risk is direct, and the FBI should take the above security steps.
