I thought we knew that already.
Hey, thanks. CBS has always been a pain around here in terms of old-fashioned tv receptors!
to me that was a one night stand , not an affair. The real affair was with McDougal which lasted almost a year.
Yeah, I’m not buying her story, the “oh well, we were already in the bedroom he he he, so why not.” There was a money exchange in there somewhere.
Every once in a great while, Trump gives me a huge belly laugh. This was one of those times. What a maroon. What a ta-ra-ra-goon-de-ay.
It may well also be that she figured that, with him having a (at that time) successful TV show, it was better to have him as a potential ally, or someone who could help her advance her career in non-adult entertainment. So, maybe not a “money exchange” per se, but she was hoping to curry favor with him.

I’m not quite sure which thread to post this in - posting here as well
If the ‘affair’ was in 2006 - and the threat in 2011 - why was money paid in 2016?
Because there was this election in 2016.
The goon part was interesting to me. I’m sure Cohen used only a limited set of goons, so I suppose the press is right now running around trying to track this one down. Track him down, make him talk, get him to testify that Cohen ordered the intimidation, and watch the shyster get disbarred.
McDougal says she voted for Trump and hasn’t exactly gone for the jugular.
I agree it doesn’t have to be about money though. Stormy reports that she and her daughter were physically threatened in a mafia-style fashion in a parking lot in Las Vegas in 2011: the perp told her, “Leave Trump alone. Forget the story", adding that she had a lovely daughter and it would be a shame if something happened to her Mom.
For somebody who believes that bullies should be stood up to, that is additional motivation. What We Learned from Stormy Daniels on “60 Minutes” | The New Yorker
Though to be complete, Stormy also said, “I was perfectly fine saying nothing at all, but I’m not O.K. with being made out to be a liar.” Looks like Cohen overplayed his hand.
One imagines that you don’t keep your livelihood as a goon by being the sort of person who talks about his clients and/or targets.
She is Delilah to the mightly ‘last judge of Israel’. Will she cut his golden locks and sell its secrets (yuck) to the Philistines?
All we need is for her to have a Russian or Chinese boyfriend and it will be Profumo all over again.
Should be easy enough. Just look for a paralegal in a leather jacket.
If someone pays you to tell your story to them and to nobody else, that’s the same as paying you to keep silent.
No, really, it isn’t. It’s paying to have the exclusive story. And when it’s someone who expected that story to be published, it’s colluding to influence an election.
I wonder who is paying her lawyer , he does not work cheap. Or maybe in this case he’s working for free for publicity.
She probably expects to make a healthy profit off of all of this, both from book deals and the like and from boosted sales of her existing works. She might have negotiated some percentage of that with her lawyer.
