Why the Stormy Daniels-Donald Trump story matters
BBC ^ | Mar. 26, 2018 | Toby Luckhurst

Posted on 03/26/2018 10:09:57 AM PDT by bgill

Why does this matter? Mr Cohen's $130,000 payment to Ms Daniels just before the 2016 election could count as an illegal contribution to President Trump's campaign. Trevor Potter, president of the Campaign Legal Center, said if Mr Cohen did this on Mr Trump's behalf, "that is a coordinated, illegal, in-kind contribution by Cohen for the purpose of influencing the election". Democrats Ted Lieu and Kathleen Rice, representatives for California and New York respectively, have asked the FBI to investigate Mr Cohen's payment to Ms Daniels.

Say what? So, if I pay the yardman for mowing the lawn, it can be construed to his wife paying the salon for doing her nails?

Much ado about nothing.

Takes a lot of heavy lifting to make this matter.

But they still try.

It matters because he’s not a Democrat! You don’t suppose that Hillary or Obama took in any cash illegally. I kind of remember Obama having some coming in from Gaza, but that’s different!

You Limeys need to clean up your own backyard and mind your own business. We Americans have got this. Take a hike.

Not to worry, BBC. You’re soon to be part Britainistan Broadcasting Company and you’ll have plenty of far greater worries.

The bbc is another America hater.

The entire media establishment is trying to dump Trump with this story of a whore. It will go bust just like the wet-the-bed story. I’ll believe the media when they tell the public about bammy and guy who said he had a gay affair with him, and about how bammy has favored muzzies over humans.

So sad to see that a once “hidden in the shadows profession “ is now held as the paragon of virtue, only because it , in their minds, helps to take down a duly elected president..

Regardless of what happened, and I do not believe a celebrity billionaire who just married a supermodel would touch some herpes encrsuted cum dumpster like that...the word “affair” implies some kind of relationship with emotions and all. Paying a skank one time to dip your oil stick is not by any definition I know of an “affair”

The whole Russia-Russia-Russia narrative having failed, the MSM brings out the hooker. ‘Cause nothing says trustworthy like the statement of a has-been porn star.

In politics, when you have dirt on an opponent, the most important decision you make is WHEN you use it.

The best question to ask is why now?

The Stormy story would have been far more politically useful prior to the 2016 election or prior to his next one after Trump secures the nomination.

It doesn’t matter, but the Ministry of Propaganda is trying to make it matter.
