Everyone in the news media is obsessed with the Stormy Daniels-Donald Trump soap opera. The porn star alleges that she had a tryst with the future president in 2006. In 2011, she alleges that someone threatened her to keep quiet. She was paid $130,000 in hush money, along with a non-disclosure agreement, which she appears to have violated. The situation reached fever pitch when FBI agents raided the office and residence of Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, yesterday. He’s being investigated for bank fraud and FEC violations relating to the payments to Daniels. Is this a big deal? No. No one cares—no matter how hard CNN tries to make Stormy Daniels into a thing. No one cares. I mean it’s not necessarily shocking. A rich guy maybe had an encounter with a porn star. Mind. Blown. Then, to make things more bizarre, Daniels says no sex occurred in the alleged affair.
Q poll: Just 23% of voters think the president's affair w Stormy Daniels is "an important issue." Rare instance of bipartisan consensus.https://t.co/rk11ob6Rid— Josh Kraushaar (@HotlineJosh) April 10, 2018
Concerning whether the Daniels’ story is an important issue, just 23 percent said it was, with 51 percent of Democratsand 81 percent of Independents agreeing that this story really isn’t all that of a bombshell. What about whether Trump knew about the porn star payments? Only 38 percentagree that this is a key issue. So, we have an overwhelming bipartisan consensus, according to Quinnipiac’s poll.
Daniels is cooperating with federal authorities on this front. Daniels has gone back and forth concerning the details of this alleged affair, saying she didn’t have sex with Trump. During a 60 Minutes interview with Anderson Cooper, Daniels says the intimate relations were consensual. Whatever the case, no one cares.
Now, concerning other payments, well--that remains to be seen. But for now, Stormy just gets a shoulder shrug, even from Democrats who absolutely hate Donald Trump.
agreed - Rich old guy goes to Vegas, has one night stand with cheap floozie 12 years ago.
How is this possibly newsworthy ?
I don’t care about it because I don’t believe it. 12yrs ago was the time to come forward with this information. When these things are reported as a means of harming someone politically, I tend to not believe the accuser nor the reporter.
The socialists are angry Trump has sex with attractive partners.
not to mention the legal weight of NDAs
IMO, the Daniels “scandal” is nothing more than some again porn whore trying to get a few more bucks towards her retirement. Paying her off to keep quiet tells me I’m pretty close to being right.
“Trump was a private citizen at the time”
I’m not ready to “excuse” Trump for doing Stormy because I don’t think he did. Two reasons: (1) I believe his denial, (2) she said no condom and Trump’s said he’s a “clean freak”.
Trump’s a builder, he subcontracted it!
I care about this less than I cared about Bill getting BJ’s from Moni....
Notice virtually no difference between men or women. They know consensual sex when they see it.
I watched both bunnyboiler interviews. The central theme was, they were fine with the money until some ‘boyfriend’ whispered in their ears that they could make so much more, if only they hadn’t signed an NDA. But rather than just doing it, and giving that interview or storytelling and consequences be damned, they engage in blackmail. One thinks that Trump will marry her if she breaks up his marriage. That’s the one who thought her hoo-hoo was worth a Manhattan apartment in one sentence and claims to be a member of clergy in the next. And the lesbian other has made a living trading sex with men for money, which she blew living hard and fast on her girlfriends. They should arrest both of them and the lawyer who’s the new darling of MSNBC and CNN and thinks he works for the JD.
That is for the useful idiots. It is far more than that for the fellow travelers.
That probably won’t stop the msm from covering this story.
CNN continues to sink.
If it hadn't been for Bill and Monica, I explain, then that 10 year old video would have derailed Trump for sure. But because Bill changed the culture, it hardly moved the needle and dropped off the news a few days later when Trump invited several of the women that Bill abused to the debate.
Wasn't the look on Bill's face priceless?

“In 2011, she alleges that someone threatened her to keep quiet.”
Wrong. In 2018 she alleges that someone threatened her in 2011. Did she look at mug shots? Was there a lineup? Did she describe “someone” to a forensic artist?
What if he did? Lawyers do that. There was no court case, just a media circus. Do the media psychos know the difference?
