If you're the impatient type, CBS posted a transcript of the Daniels interview

Stormy Daniels describes her alleged affair with Donald Trump

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/stormy-daniels-describes-her-alleged-affair-with-donald-trump-60-minutes-interview/

EXCERPT:

According to Daniels, Mr. Trump called her the following month to say he'd not been able to get her a spot on Celebrity Apprentice. She says they never met again and only had sex in that first meeting in 2006. In May 2011, Daniels agreed to tell her story to a sister publication of In Touch magazine for $15,000 dollars. Two former employees of the magazine told us the story never ran because after the magazine called Mr. Trump seeking comment, his attorney Michael Cohen threatened to sue. Daniels says she was never paid, and says a few weeks later, she was threatened by a man who approached her in Las Vegas.

Stormy Daniels: I was in a parking lot, going to a fitness class with my infant daughter. T-- taking, you know, the seats facing backwards in the backseat, diaper bag, you know, gettin' all the stuff out. And a guy walked up on me and said to me, "Leave Trump alone. Forget the story." And then he leaned around and looked at my daughter and said, "That's a beautiful little girl. It'd be a shame if something happened to her mom." And then he was gone.

Anderson Cooper: You took it as a direct threat?

Stormy Daniels: Absolutely.

Stormy Daniels: I was rattled. I remember going into the workout class. And my hands are shaking so much, I was afraid I was gonna-- drop her.

Anderson Cooper: Did you ever see that person again?

Stormy Daniels: No. But I-- if I did, I would know it right away.

Nothing that wasn't already in the public record. I didn't realize she signed a statement towards the end of the campaign that denied the affair. She made no accusations of physical threats by the Trump organization.

The campaign thing is the most interesting part of it. I don't see it being the hill to die on.

For reference National Review was on John Edwards side that it shouldn't have been viewed as a campaign funding violation.

Isn't it sudden death OT? (Obviously I know nothing about basketball; I actually dislike the game. And now I hate it.)

At first I was pissed this basketball game went into OT. But on second thought, prolonging the amount of ball sweat accumulation of @realDonaldTrump is delightful.

Okey, dokey.

Anderson Cooper: You don't want to say one way or the other if you have text messages or other items?

Stormy Daniels: My attorney has recommended that I don't discuss those things.

Anderson Cooper: You seem to be saying that she has some sort of text message, or video, or-- or photographs. Or you could just be bluffing.

Michael Avenatti: You should ask some of the other people in my career when they've bet on me bluffing.

But it wasnt Geraldo's fault.

Anderson Cooper's just got made to look like a moron.

I guess that pic of that disc, was the actual video interview with cooper.

NOW CAN WE PLEASE CONCENTRATE ON MULLER AND NOT ON A ADULT MOVIE

No surprises. It’s frankly hard to have surprises with him. But if times hadn’t gotten so incredibly creepy he’d be the subject of disgust and mistrust and not be considered fit to be president. But he’s lowered the bar so far that it’s a ditch.

We can't let him "normalize" abnormal behavior. Worse than abnormal. Downright disgusting.

Even Democrats have already discounted Trump's creepiness. So it takes a LOT from him to shock the conscience. If this were ANY other president, we'd be talking resignation already.
