Trump Grand Jury Digs Into Hush Money Paid to Second Woman
The Wall Street Journal ^ | 3/30/2023 | By Joe Palazzolo and Corinne Ramey

Manhattan prosecutors investigating Donald Trump’s role in paying hush money to a porn star also have been examining a $150,000 payment to a former Playboy model who alleged that she had an affair with the former president, according to people familiar with the matter, raising the prospect that Mr. Trump could face charges connected to the silencing of both women.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office has been presenting a grand jury with evidence of Mr. Trump’s involvement in a $130,000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels since January. In those proceedings, the people said, Mr. Bragg’s prosecutors also have questioned grand-jury witnesses extensively about an earlier deal involving Karen McDougal, Playboy Magazine’s Playmate of the Year in 1998, who has said she began a 10-month relationship with Mr. Trump in 2006.

Where the hell is the fat eating cake bitch McDaniels statement and the rest of our conservative base in DC? I don’t give a shit if they don’t like Trump they need to come forward and say something. Hats off to McCarthy and a handful that already have tweeted out their disgust and their anger other than that I swear if I don’t hear from them tonight, not 24 hours later or 48 hours later, that effing party is done ..cooked!

"Can anybody say “Statute of Limitations”? Unless he murdered these two women, there’s no case, even if Bragg claims fraud."

..... Believe it or not .... the Indictment was actually passed mere seconds before the "Statute of Limitations" ran out ...... At least ... That will be the story they go with IMO ....

This shows yet another downside of the party elders running the show; if Harmeet Dhillon had been elected RNC Chair, she would be on every show tonite.

Agree.

When a good man is hurt, all who would be called good must suffer with him.

—Euripides (484 BC - 406 BC)


“Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless.
Not to speak is to speak.
Not to act is to act.”

― Dietrich Bonhoeffer

”In your face” is our communist masters' favorite tool to rattle the chains of tyranny that they have wrapped around our necks...

No Big Deal!
Our communist masters know that the pathetically servile and indolent Aamerican people will just continue to roll over and spread their collective cheeks...

Liberals call it “OUR Democracy”, which says they make up the rules as they go because of their perceived majority.

I do remember that... I also remember the FBI said Juanita had a credible rape charge against Billy Boy. And that Hillary and George Stephanopoulos ran the ‘sluts and nuts’ teams that trashed the women who objected to being abused by Bill Clinton.

The Clinton’s stupid daughter is the one who’s clueless...

Of course the Clinton’s evil was happening at the same the the FBI was starting their war against middle-class, middle-aged, white Christian families. The brown shirts - the Commmie sellouts - were working long before the Biden crime family started their shake downs. It might be as bad as we suspect it is...

If this first prosecution fails, as is likely, this will allow the press to continue to report that “Trump is under investigation.”

The FBI and DOJ would give any democrat President a pass. Those two groups are as corrupt as a Mafia hitman.

Right. Besides that, Trump is the very first rich guy to hang out with a hooker. No rich Dem would ever dream of such a thing.

It is not a crime to pay “Hush money” to be quiet about something that was not illegal in the first place.
