Rudy Giuliani Says Trump Paid Back Stormy Daniels’ Hush Money, Rips ‘Pervert’ Comey
Daily Beast ^ | 3 May 2018 | Harry Siegal

Posted on 05/03/2018 4:00:27 AM PDT by Magnatron

In a remarkable appearance Wednesday, Rudy Giuliani said Donald Trump had indeed repaid the money used to buy Stormy Daniels’ silence about their affair, and that Trump had indeed fired then-FBI Director James Comey because Comey wouldn’t tell Trump that he wasn’t under investigation.

Both statements contradict the story the president himself and his White House have previously offered.

Giuliani’s appearance with Sean Hannity—one of the first by the former U.S. attorney since he joined Trump’s rapidly assembled new legal team, which has promised a tougher response to special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe—left the Fox News host and frequent Trump adviser and enabler openly stunned.

In an appearance stuffed with odd factual errors, like saying no president had ever before been subpoenaed, and sweeping claims about “criminal” Hillary Clinton and “disgraceful liar” and “pervert” James Comey, Giuliani flat out said Trump had paid back the money shelled out to buy the porn star’s silence, and that there was no problem there.

No doubt, but if he did it to help Trump's chances in the campaign then it probably needed to be reported.

And we know those words were never spoken so it remains a personal matter for all intensive purposes, unless we want to now prosecute thought crimes or our view of the matter which may or not be the case.

Great point and worth remembering when the other side plays holier than thou.

He already said on Fox and Friends that Cohen represented him with Stormy. So he knew.

Accountants just don't pay invoices. And if they do, then it must be routine.

Typically, in these matters, anyone who may be at risk has the work done, not the other way around. If it was the other way around, and being this close to the election, Cohen would have asked how to handle it.

At this point it’s conjecture. I was making the point that the nondisclosure did not need to go both ways so DJT did not have to be aware of the agreement and the fact that he didn’t sign it supports that it was handled by his lawyer.

Perhaps in the end we will have more facts perhaps not. In my opinion it is an irrelevancy. I parse it one way and you another, thank you for your courtesy.
