Theres not going to be anything groundbreaking in the Stormy interview.

[Atman]

It was conducted how long ago? And has been through production, editing, marketing, the whole shebang (pun intended). Point being, lots of people have seen it already. If there was something truly Earth shattering, someone would have leaked it. It still might be a fun watch, but don’t get your hopes up for anything you probably don’t already know.

[MFM008]

1. We shall see.

.....

[democratisphere]

2. WJC is a choirboy compared to "drumpf the penatrator".

Who cares about a blue dress when there is a harem?!
Still believe this will take drumpf down and out!

[DFW]

3. The biggest indication of that so far

Is that the Republicans have not mounted a full-scale legal assault. If there had been something in there that would have prompted cries of impeachment from Republican ranks, they would have ordered the National Guard to attack with tanks.

[JI7]

4. well, i think the pay off stuff would be impeachment for any other president

but we have seen this republican congress doesn't care and he has done a lot worse.

i think it might be more about stuff that is personally embarrassing that trump doesn't want revealed.

[DFW]

5. I doubt Trump minds revealing stuff that makes him out to be a stud

The only stuff he is scared of having revealed is illegal financial shenanigans that could land him in jail.

And Ryan's Republican House STILL wouldn't impeach him, even if he were sitting in a cell, UNLESS.....all major polls showed Ryan losing his House seat. THEN he would allow impeachment to go forward, even if it was for littering.

[JI7]

6. that's the thing, i don't think any of the stuff makes him look like a "stud"

[DFW]

11. Not to us, but he sees himself in a somewhat different light from what rational people see n/t

[dchill]

9. You mean stub?

[DFW]

12. Not at all to be discounted n/t

[IluvPitties]

16. For many men

The fact that Trump had sex with women most common men can only see in porn and fantasize about being with them is a plus for some.

[DFW]

21. Not for this one! n/t

[uponit7771]

13. Trump openly talked about being sexually attracted to his daughter multiple times, he's shameless

[brettdale]

7. This is what i think

Also, if there was something truly damaging, it wouldve aired. Its just going to be
her making allegations, and maybe a video of her hooked up to a lie dector machine.

[Loki Liesmith]

8. Shell allege Trump is a submissive

[Ilsa]

24. That can be typical for bullies or Type A men, from

what I've heard and been told. There might be an emotional fatigue related to the public persona, so with someone in an intimate situation, they might behave submissively. The person isn't necessarily a spouse if the bully needs to continue to control her.

[secondwind]

10. I am old enough to remember another time ..

When even the whiff of an affair would derail a campaign, or bring impeachment prooceedings upon a POTUS who was desperately trying to protect his family.

We are living in strange times.

[Atman]

15. Remember Gary Hart?

His political career derailed over a picture of a woman (not his wife) sitting on his lap. How far this nation has fallen.

[DFW]

22. Hart was a Democrat

Only Republicans are allowed to act like Trump. Jimmy Carter almost got his campaign derailed for admitting that he had "lusted after other women."

The double standard in our country is staggering. A Republican could sell Hawaii to the Chinese, and as long as he says the money is for reducing the budget deficit, and Fox says it was the right move, the Republican base would applaud it.

[blueinredohio]

14. I'll wait for the tape or c.d. or whatever they say they have.

[Hugin]

17. Yeah, not to mention it's still in litigation. Much of the powder will be kept dry for court.

Looking for a settlement... A cash settlement at some point.

The media is a circus and the courts are a stage in Trumptopia.

[PJMcK]

19. Razzle Dazzle

Your last sentence reminded me of this great scene from the movie CHICAGO:

[Hugin]

20. Fascinating.

I didn't know Richard Gere could sing.

Oh, and precisely.

[PJMcK]

18. Perhaps

You might be wrong that "lots of people have seen it already." 60 Minutes has a reputation for running a tight, compartmentalized operation. There isn't a lot of "cross pollination" even within the show. Most likely, the only people outside of the production team that have seen the interview are CBS's lawyers! When they've had other controversial interviews or stories, the only teasers have generally been on CBS itself. Furthermore, there wouldn't really be any incentive for someone on the 60 Minutes team to leak anything. By the way, I don't watch TV but how has CBS been promoting the broadcast?

The reason CBS didn't air the interview immediately was simply because Ms. Daniels probably made lots of statements about people, places and times that needed to be researched and reported out before CBS would be confident of the veracity of her statements. Undoubtably, there will be things edited out of the broadcast interview but again, good journalism would require independent confirmation of things she said. Of course, by holding back an additional week, CBS builds the drama, don't they?

Anyway, I'll agree with you that we probably already know most anything she could say. The real interesting aspect of her story to me is the $130,000 hush payment. If this turns out to be a campaign finance violation, it could open the whole financial can of worms against Trump. If it were to happen because of a porn actress, the irony would be delicious.

23. Her lawyer said she will explain the "threats" she received from Trump side

and how she was pressured to keep silent, so at least that will be new info.
