Exclusive: Prominent lawyer sought donor cash for two Trump accusers
The Hill ^

Posted on 12/15/2017 8:17:51 AM PST by springwater13

well-known women’s rights lawyer sought to arrange compensation from donors and tabloid media outlets for women who made or considered making sexual misconduct allegations against Donald Trump during the final months of the 2016 election, according to documents and interviews.

California lawyer Lisa Bloom’s efforts included offering to sell alleged victims’ stories to TV outlets in return for a commission for herself, arranging a donor to pay off one Trump accuser’s mortgage and attempting to secure a six-figure payment for another woman who ultimately declined to come forward after being offered as much as $750,000, the clients told The Hill.

The women’s accounts were chronicled in contemporaneous contractual documents, emails and text messages reviewed by The Hill, including an exchange of texts between one woman and Bloom that suggested political action committees supporting Hillary Clinton were contacted during the effort.

Bloom, who has assisted dozens of women in prominent harassment cases and also defended film executive Harvey Weinstein earlier this year, represented four women considering making accusations against Trump last year. Two went public, and two declined.

In a statement to The Hill, Bloom acknowledged she engaged in discussions to secure donations for women who made or considered making accusations against Trump before last year’s election.

“Donors reached out to my firm directly to help some of the women I represented,” said Bloom, whose clients have also included accusers of Bill Cosby and Bill O’Reilly.

So this is what Bill O’Reilly says he has on tape, which his lawyer says constitutes evidence of 3 separate crimes.

Let the indictments begin!

In case anyone doesn't know:

Bloom was born Lisa Bray, the daughter of Gloria Bloom (later Allred)[4] and Peyton Huddleston Bray, Jr.[5] Her parents’ marriage was short-lived—they had married and divorced while in college.

Peyton, who suffered from bipolar disorder, later committed suicide, and Bloom subsequently took her mother's maiden name. When Bloom was 7, her mother remarried to William C. Allred.

She’s not admitting anything, she’s trolling for paid accusers with this story.

So, Bloom plays both sides of the dock. I believe that that is the definition of "sophistry" and the reason that lawyers are so disliked and distrusted.

*sheesh*

They just don’t quit, do they? They want the New World Order, and don’t want Trump to stop them.

Soros will soon tire of throwing his money at stupid people, but he’ll have to hurry...it seems Trump wants to jail him.

One thing I've noticed about Lisa Bloom throughout all of the articles posted about her: she's dumber than dirt.
