Stormy Daniels, porn actor central to Trump’s hush money trial, takes the stand
The Hill ^ | 05/07/2024 | ELLA LEE

Stormy Daniels, the porn actor paid hush money to keep an alleged affair with Donald Trump secret ahead of the 2016 election, has taken the stand Tuesday in the former president’s New York criminal trial.

Daniels, wearing black with her hair in a clip, smiled nervously as she entered the room, walking quickly toward the stand. She put on a pair of black, thick-rimmed glasses as she started.

Trump was whispering with his attorney, Todd Blanche, and watched Daniels as she prepared to begin her testimony.

Just so. Also…

Stormy Daniels is apparently making scripted jokes in the courtroom to win over the jury and nobody is laughing

She's hurting the prosecution's case by showing the jury how much of an attention seeker she is. This is hilarious pic.twitter.com/jQmWdIRU5m— johnny maga (@_johnnymaga) May 7, 2024

"Speak for yourself....you have no idea what other people are thinking."

If they make denigrating comments about someone, and have no personal knowledge, or verified sources to prove their claims, then anyone who believes that crap is an airhead spreading gossip, rumors and innuendoes.

What makes this case so difficult to understand is that the jury is probably not made up of sane, reasonable people. So, even if I could watch this live, it wouldn't give me any more insight to what the overall case is looking like.

But, I do believe that the more the prosecution relies on things that are not relevant to the actual charges (falsified records, concealing election interference), but are more like character assassination, the weaker the case against Trump actually is. Does the jury see that? Not sure, and it's really up to the defense team to make sure they do.

Sounds like someone who has sex for a living is claiming to remember intricately a single such event in 2006. He must be truly impressive.

Ay, tan puro, tan santo-please let us know when you will be canonized...

That said, most of us vote for a president, not a priest/monk-businessmen are not usually monks, and politicians certainly are not...

I absolutely cannot believe for one second that Trump had sex with this lady.

He’s a known germaphobe. There is no way he did the things she said he did.

Brings her up to his lavish hotel room etc?

Why can’t they get him to sign some affidavit to that account? Then he can’t change his testimony on the stand.

This was a pure and simple shake down.

“It’s about an alleged accounting error made in 2017 supposedly made to steal an election THAT HAD ALREADY OCCURRED.”

The transaction occurred before the election.In October 2016. Trump is in trouble for allegedly falsifying business records in an attempt to cover up that payment.

No he’s not being charged with falsifying business records to cover up the payment. That by itself is a misdemeanor whose statute of limitations has already expired. He’s being charged with attempting to cover up the payment IN FURTHERANCE OF A FELONY. The felony? Unlawfully influencing an election - AN ELECTION THAT HAD ALREADY OCCURRED at the time the entry was made. Educate yourself.

There’s a 95% chance “BALLsey-Ford” doesn’t do that vocal fry speak in real life. It was an affectation she adopted for the Kavanaugh hearings, as her coaches suggested.

I can believe that. I violated my own code of ethics to watch her sob story testimony on one of the news networks. The Republicans on the Judiciary Committee wouldn't even question her themselves, not wanting to be labeled as harassers, so they hired Phoenix Prosecutor Rachel Mitchell to do it for them. What a bunch of pansy a$$es. Miss Lindsey Graham is effeminate enough to have been able to do it.

The payment to Stormy was made in October of 2016. Before the election. Remember that Cohen recorded his conversations with Trump.
