This is a breakdown of the financial importance of 130k to a person with a Net Worth of SEVEN BILLION DOLLARS as compared to the average Net Worth of the Average American.
Yes. To a large degree. Because he was party to an NDA meaning he too would be bound by the terms and would have to know what they detailed in order to not step in a cow patty.
The left thinks we have the sophistication of Gomer Pyle in Las Vegas. We are not stupid, we know the difference.
Of course, he could just decide to never say anything about Stormy except when legally required, and in the presence of his lawyer. If Trump were to operate that way (and he mostly did) then knowing the details of the NDA is inconsequential.
And knowing the details of the payment is even more inconsequential. Why should Trump know? Why should he care?
Folks are jumping on Trump now claiming that it was a campaign expenditure. But others say that if it was a result of negotiations with Daniels well prior to Trump’s run, then Trump is fine. If Cohen gave Trump the leeway to pay an IOU that predated the campaign, then why does it matter when Trump paid the IOU? It might make Donald look cheap for waiting so long. But just being cheap in an agreement is no crime.
Nuisance is overstating it (yes, I know it is from “Nuisance suit”).
the porn star was at most an irritant.
She still is. She is just extending her 15 minutes.
This is what happens when a candidate for office gives in to an extortion demand. This bitch was baked into the anti-Trump plan all along. But it won’t matter one bit... just more low-calorie fodder for the Marxist Media and their masters at the DNC.
Well yes. It’s to wonder if this will be Donald’s King David moment.
Based on what Trump is saying, it goes like this:
Private citizen billionaire Donald Trump hired a lawyer Cohen and put him on retainer. Cohen takes care of stuff and Trump pays him regularly, plus expenses.
Stormy Daniels shows up and makes herself a nuisance.
Lawyer Cohen puts together a legal document (NDA) and puts out his own money to make Stormy go away.
Lawyer Cohen reports his recent expenses (of which Stormy was one) and private citizen billionaire Trump writes him a check as he always does. Details of the lawyers' expenses? Who cares? That doesn't matter to Trump. He's got plenty of more important things to think about.
There is nothing even slightly illegal or unethical here. And the money is a pittance to a man like Trump. He wouldn't notice it or care.
No reason to see this tied to any political campaign. None.
There would be no clean way to do it. Only God and Donald and Stormy know what happened maybe. Maybe Cohen doesn’t know and was just told to do something.
Can I state the obvious — it does break God’s heart when sex shenanigans go on outside of their intended milieu.
The alternative is believing that Cohen made a legal settlement on a civil suit in Trump’s name without Trump being aware of it. That would seem to be the scarier scenario.
To pay off a person in conjunction with an impending election run — well it seems Stormy considers herself now a heroic whistle blower. But again she chose a low life.
I hope Donald never had sex with her.
No because his lawyer had the authority to make nusciance suits go away
He had any number of ticks trying to get their blood money
Maybe Donald did ask and authorize Cohen to do that. A kinder gentler Uriah killing move.
Is isn’t unforgivable or even illegal but it’s very shameful if so. Donald needs to learn how to pray and maybe this is what will teach him. He’ll probably know about asking God for forgiveness after the dust had settled on the Stormy affair.
Are you suggesting Trump will send someone off to battle to be killed?
We voted for president in case you forgot
Even by her own story it was , if she is to be believed, a one night stand
Well true... But again is it really that easy to get $130 grand from Donald? Just claim that I am a famous “sex artist” and I met up with Donald, and bam, $130,000 smackeroos are mine?
In this case, only talk was to be killed.
I ain’t canonizing Stormy like Rahab here. But seems to me she now owes Donald the dough back.
