Billy Bush bragged about vulgar Trump video to NBC staffers

[RandySF]

Billy Bush brazenly bragged to NBC staff about the vulgar Donald Trump tape while covering the Olympics in Rio, multiple sources tell Page Six.

Proving the infamous Ryan Lochte interview wasn’t Bush’s only Rio recklessness, the shamed “Today” host boasted at a party in August that he had a “tape of Trump being a real dog,” prompting staffers at “Access Hollywood” to track it down.

Bush never told NBC News brass about the tape when he joined “Today,” and they’re not happy about it. “Billy was bragging about the tape to other NBC staff while in Rio. If he knew about the tape, and remembered the full extent of such an explosive conversation with a presidential candidate and didn’t disclose that to NBC News, that is a very, very serious problem,” the insider said, adding it could violate the “morality clause” in his contract.

Another insider added, “It is not clear if Billy remembered the exact level of vulgarity in the conversation with Trump, or if he instead realized its news value and didn’t declare it to protect himself.”

1. Bragging gets you in trouble

He didn't tell NBC about it because he knew it made him look bad too.

"The Bush divorce, completed in April after 23 years of marriage, was prompted in part by Bush's relationship with another woman. He admitted in the deposition that he previously had sex with several other women while on trips to Thailand and Hong Kong at least five years ago.

The women, he said, simply knocked on the door of his hotel room, entered and had sex with him. He said he did not know if they were prostitutes because they never asked for money and he did not pay them."

5. At least he can console himself, it wasn't a late night Tweet that took him down. . .

Just old fashioned, run-of-the-mill, low tech drunken ramblings.

It's been happening for ages. It takes down the high and the low, and occasionally those who hide among the Bushes.

6. I think HE is the leaker--I don't care what others say....

Big Daddy GHWB let the word go forth, that the slight and insults to JEB Must Be Avenged!!!!! Billy was just the tool (and yes, he is a tool) that Elder George used to get revenge upon his Wronged Boy!

LOL!!!!

Hey...it could happen!

Meanwhile, Kathie Lee Gifford doesn’t even want Bush to “throw” the show to her and co-host Hoda Kotb. “She has Jesus in her life and feels this is just not right,” we’re told.


My guess, not so much Jesus as her late husband, Frank Gifford. Donald Trump's words and BB's complicity must resurrect some unpleasant memories of Frank being randy and embarrassing Kathie Lee.
