Stormy Daniels Offers to Return Payment to End Deal for Her Silence
New York Times ^ | 03/12/2018 | By JIM RUTENBERG

Posted on 03/12/2018 11:25:15 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

The pornographic film actress who says she had an affair with President Trump offered on Monday to return $130,000 she received from Mr. Trump’s personal lawyer in 2016 for agreeing not to discuss the alleged relationship.

In exchange, the actress, Stephanie Clifford, seeks an end to her deal to keep quiet about what she says was an affair with Mr. Trump that started in 2006 and lasted for several months.

In the letter, which was sent to Mr. Trump’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, early Monday, Ms. Clifford’s lawyer, Michael Avenatti, wrote that Ms. Clifford would wire the money into an account of Mr. Trump’s choosing by Friday.

Mr. Avenatti set a deadline of noon Tuesday for Mr. Cohen to answer the offer from Ms. Clifford, known professionally as Stormy Daniels.

Under the terms of the deal detailed in the letter, a copy of which was obtained by The New York Times, the contract ensuring Ms. Clifford’s silence would be “deemed null and void’’ once she returned the sum called for in her original contract.

Under Mr. Avenatti’s offer, Ms. Clifford would then be allowed to “(a) speak openly and freely about her prior relationship with the President and the attempts to silence her and (b) use and publish any text messages, photos and/or videos relating to the President that she may have in her possession, all without fear of retribution and/or legal liability for damages.”

The letter also seeks an agreement that neither Mr. Trump nor the shell company that Mr. Cohen used to pay Ms. Clifford, which he represents as a party to their October 2016 deal, would move to block the broadcast of an interview that Ms. Clifford taped with “60 Minutes” last week.

I saw a ( clothed ) picture of her in a giggle joint the other day. She is milking this for all the cash flow this is worth, however she looked beleaguered, the strain was their.

IMHO these bastards in the DNC, Soro's and all their bleeping fellow travlers will not stop their every day attacks on PDJT's family, and this is just one facet of it.

Going after his inner circle, granted, Hope Hicks might have chosen a better Bo, but we lost 3 their, and they keep sniping at Jared and Invanka, granted they don't have a huge fan base here, but think of PDJT's kids and grandkid's ( especially Baron ) dealing with this mess, and the questions, do you keep them away from this stories media over-exposure? It is about destroying their innocence, and it has me ticked.

The DNC/Soro's/Deep State are despicable, and it has the politics of personnel destruction all over it, aka Hill-Bill and their cast of Arkansas characters that dream this crapola up.

I revile them for doing this to the Trump family....

But they have have a nemesis that they can't fathom, Melania and her Prayers, and Prayers of Freeper's and Treepers and the Prayers of so many other deplorables of all shapes and sizes.......

Democrat voters cannot assimilate facts in evidence, that stormy is a low IQ hose beast being exploited by the supposed women’s party, the DNC. She will be disposed as soon as her exploitation is useless for future filth. The democrat party is the enemy inside the wire.

Someone I chatted with the other day brought up something that they saw on Twitter.

The man’s entire life has been investigated. It basically has the entire weight of the US Dept of Justice bearing down on it and his family’s. With all of his business dealings, in NY and elsewhere, the bankruptcies, the business restructures, the lawsuits, the tax returns and THEY HAVE FOUND NOTHING.

It’s said that at any given time, everyone breaks some law, at some point during the day. And with the entire media establishment, GOPe, the Left, Democrats, the Establishment, the Deep State, the World, against him, nothing. They’ve had 2 years and nothing.

Did he mess around with her, 13 YEARS AGO, who knows. Maybe. Probably. Could have. Who the f*ck cares?

He’s doing good things. He’s the first politician in a long, long time that truly seems to care about the people of this country and trying to solve problems, instead of kicking the can down the road. Imagine what he could have accomplished, already, if he had help from Ryan and McConnell. And think about what he will accomplish once he replaces Kennedy and hopefully 2 more, before the end of Term 1.

The only reason a whore would give back money is that she thinks that she can get a better deal and more money in a different deal.

She jut might be cagey enough to be making the threat for blackmail, thinking Trump will pay based on the threat and she will not have broken the contract.

But he is no dummy and tough. He will not bite because he knows like all blackmailers, she will do it again, maybe even several more times over the next 7 years.

Great play by the left. If the attorney says no, then it can then be assumed that Trump had the affair. If the attorney says yes, then she can lie her brains out and see point one.

It’s probably a good time for a drug overdose so the rats can accuse the Trump administration of killing her.

Looks like the slut discovered there is more profit in being an actual whore.

As an “adult entertainer” she should have already known that.

What a scumbag. I wasn’t aware of that.

It’s always amazed my, Why them? Why the Clinton’s? Who picked them out of the crowd to be the white, redneck loser, Manchurian candidate in the 90s? They were picked long before that, so what is it that made them stand out from the crowd, when they could have gone with a Kennedy, Rockafeller, DuPont, etc etc?

From the pic’s, two, rather unattractive college hippies and all of a sudden, here they are. Leaving nothing but destruction and death in their wake.

On a side note, I saw him up close when their Foundation had a conference in Atlanta, a few years ago. He looks like absolute sh*t. He’s got a gigantic head and is as skinny as a rail. Almost to the point where someone needs to tell him, he’s dead and should just go back to NY or Arkansas.

Donald Trump is NOT A POLITICIAN and illary Clinton lacked a blackmail file on him. THAT is what scares the deep state enemy of America ... they don’t own him like they do senators and representatives and SCOTUS chief Justices

But still, it would be nice to have a president who didn’t need to pay hush money to porn stars.

I’d rather that than another President who refused to enforce the laws and borders.

I don't think the Libbies are really criticizing Trump for sex he supposedly had but that "Evangelicals" still support him. They contend it is WE who are hypocrites for doing so - not them. What they don't seem to comprehend is that Trump has already been forgiven for his past indiscretions and that the thought of Hilliary becoming president was a far greater calamity than electing a man who had a reputation for womanizing but who held to conservative values and was pro-life. At least he has never been accused of rape!
