Hope’s testimony showed he lied when he denied knowing anything about it publically in 18 when in fact she was involved in the silencing efforts in 16.
Yes, she mentioned keeping newspapers from Melania on the access Hollywood video (doesn’t she watch tv or listen to the radio?) but she also said Stormy caused Trump just as much concern campaign wise. There are so many that try to absolve this as an either/or situation when it appears to have been both personal and political. One doesn’t negate the other.
Since the judge clearly said Trump can testify, do you expect he will take the stand like he promised early on? Will he give us a Col. Jessup moment? B
Lookit joesbucks, the FR Democrat Party operative, defending the Colombian cartel stooge-judge’s show trial, and Fat Alvin’s non-case.
But Stormy signed documents stating that an affair never happened and Avenatti is prepared to testify that it was all a shakedown scheme. Stormy and Avenatti have very tarnished reputations so who knows what the real truth is. But Trump is a germophobe so I tend to believe him that the story was another hoax. These NDAs happen all the time in business to get rid of noisy women making wild claims that could cause more business harm than the NDA payment for something the business executive knows is false (not to say that they are all false). It is almost like fake slip and fall accident payoffs. Cheaper to do the payoff than to go to court and the personal injury lawyers know it. Of course the election was probably one of the reasons Trump didn’t want to deal with this story. That is why Stormy and Avenatti timed it just before the election.
