We all know who the tweeter will be voting for. We have to ask why did it take this long for these tapes to come out? If there more then expect the next 3 weeks to get even dirtier with cilnton also in the firing line.

There must be thousands of hours of footage of Trump, it takes time to go through archives if you are not looking for something specific. The Washington Post article linked to above says:
Quote:
NBC News first became aware of the footage late Monday after receiving notice from producers at “Access Hollywood,” a syndicated entertainment-news program owned by NBC. The program’s producers had combed their archives for interviews with Trump after reading an Associated Press account of crude remarks he had made about female contestants on “The Apprentice,” the NBC reality program that Trump had starred on for 14 seasons.
Not sure you understand. They were trawling the archives for any similarly offensive comments, including unused footage.
They won't be labelled to the depth that they would essentially be transcripts, so they would still need to watch anything labelled with a Trump appearance. They probably don't have many people doing the job either (maybe just one or two doing it in between other tasks) so it takes time.
It sounds like they'll need to go through hundreds of hours of cut footage from The Apprentice. Whether that's stuff just cut from episodes, or things recorded during sound/light checks or informal conversations caught on camera.
I was reporting the way the scoop happened, rather than comparing them.
(though Trump does have a child rape case pending but even so)

I dont believe for one second rushes and clips form content is NOT well labeled. what about that Doc from last Sunday with Louis Theroux with unused Talk from Savile? that would never been able to get transmitted in a millions years so why was it kept? Same reason why Trumps comments were kept.
If people actually watched the clip its just like the Gordon brown comment. Stuff like this donest magically just appear after searching.. it just siting there waiting in the wings.... ..
Even if they did have any, it would be illegal to release any of the extra Trump Apprentice footage. This is according to TMZ. Many might be view TMZ is reprehensible, but sadly they are usually spot on, with their exclusives and firsts. And legally they never get stuff wrong as their founder Harvey Levin is a lawyer. So I'd say its unlikely we'd see anything. Legally of course.
Unaired 'Apprentice' Footage Can't Legally Be Released
Donald Trump Unaired 'Apprentice' Footage Can't Legally Be Released

EXCLUSIVE
There is mounting pressure on "Apprentice" creator Mark Burnett to release unaired video and audio of Donald Trump on "The Apprentice" ... but there are iron-clad confidentiality agreements that would make such release impossible ... plus Burnett doesn't own the video.
Bill Pruitt, a producer on Seasons 1 and 2, tweeted, "I assure you: when it comes to the #trumptapes there are far worse. #justthebeginning."
There are reports Burnett owns the rights to the footage, but he does not. It's owned by MGM, and there are written agreements that would almost guarantee a lawsuit if the footage is released ... especially because it captures many people other than Trump.
As for the "Access Hollywood" audio, we're told that was not released by the show ... it was leaked by someone who had access to the tapes.
Trump's replacement on "The Apprentice," Arnold Schwarzenegger, just announced he won't vote for Trump.
Others in Hollywood have been pushing to get at "The Apprentice" footage. "Bachelor" creator Mike Fleiss is pushing for the release, telling TMZ it would provide "a real accurate look at who this man is."
