Trump’s lawyer admits paying $130K to Stormy Daniels

[GURPS]

Michael D. Cohen said in a statement to The New York Times that he paid Stormy Daniels $130,000 in 2016 — but did not give the newspaper a further explanation about why the payment was made.

“Neither the Trump Organization nor the Trump campaign was a party to the transaction with Ms. Clifford, and neither reimbursed me for the payment, either directly or indirectly,” the statement read. Stephanie Clifford’s stage name is Stormy Daniels.

“The payment to Ms. Clifford was lawful, and was not a campaign contribution or a campaign expenditure by anyone.”

Cohen would not respond to any follow-up questions about the payment.

The Wall Street Journal reported in January that Daniels was paid for her silence when she threatened to come forward with details of hotel room romps with Trump in 2006.

You don't think it's a problem for the leader of the goddamn free world to be subject to blackmail and shakedowns?

It never seemed to slow slick Willy down any.

I'm Sorry where is that Proven, anyone blackmailed Trump.

If that’s what you call being constantly under investigation and eventually facing impeachment proceedings......

Why don’t you explain who that payment came into being

 

[Bird Dog]

Why don’t you explain who that payment came into being

We don’t know and neither do you......

PS. Grammar much

If that’s what you call being constantly under investigation and eventually facing impeachment proceedings......

You mean, was impeached for perjury and suborning perjury?

But, I think you intentionally missed the point - Willie was still doing it while in office, and no one batted an eye on his side of the aisle.

We should only elect squeaky clean saints who have nothing to hide and are free from such case -

Or we could elect crooks whose enemies seem to quietly disappear from mysterious deaths.

I don't think you can create a special counsel over a fabricated "report" by political opposition; speculate constantly about what *could* be; and spread a bunch of rumors; then criticize Trump for being "constantly under investigation". If you all weren't so desperate to find something - anything - to jump up and down about, he wouldn't be "constantly under investigation". It's not his fault you all are a pack of sore losers who are pissed because he's in the way of your wanting to rule the world.

That's where "slick" came from. ;-) Not that he's got anything on his incredibly slippery wife in that regard.

Does this story make me uncomfortable? Yes. But so does someone giving audience to domestic terrorists and radical and racist preachers.

Is this an impeachable offense? Absolutely not!

Get it right on the next election.

Logic tells you why trumps lawyer paid her off when they did

You sound an awful lot like Hillary and her claims of the vast right wing conspiracy. Remember, after all those allegations against and constant investigation of the clintons they ‘got’ him for getting a BJ and lying about it.

Except for the part where Willie Jeff actually did what he was accused of doing and it was proven with conclusive evidence. Where's your evidence that Trump is a Russian spy?

Other than lying it wasn’t. All that ‘right wing conspiracy’ stuff petered out and none of it stuck.

$130,000 is chump change.

On appeal, in the midst of his trial for impeachment based on his testimony in the Jones case, Clinton was faced with the prospect of having to go under oath again and testify more about his sexual history. Instead, Clinton agreed to an out-of-court settlement, paying Jones and her lawyers $850,000 to drop the suit;
