I think we are missing something from the 60 Minutes segment

[MaryMagdaline]

They clearly laid out how Michael Cohen is PERSONALLY in legal trouble for making an excessive contribution to the Trump campaign and that he has value to mueller because he knows about the Trump Tower Moscow negotiations and likely, other Russian contacts. He can be pressured to give relevant testimony to Mueller. This is probably what is making Trump sick tonight. (And the fact that a 27 year old found him to be repulsive). Cohen is Trump's bag man and they have leverage on Cohen.

That, and unprotected sex with a porn star could get you killed by some wives, even those who don't love you.

1. I am reading your post, and wondering how long ANY democrat could survive

at all let alone politically if this was about them.

This country's double standard for rightwing filth is too much for decent people.

[MaryMagdaline]

8. The Double Standard is unbelievable

[CakeGrrl]

27. That's how much the GOP controls/influences the media and religion.

Democrats do not have a Fox News propaganda counterpart.

The GOP beat Democrats to the punch in infiltrating churches and getting them to associate "godliness" with so-called Republican "values", and denigrating the Democratic platform, directly contradicting what Democratic principles are all about.

Trumpsters can take refuge in their Fox News alternate reality, which will completely ignore Trump's misdeeds altogether, much less their negative impact.

[certainot]

50. radio. if trump would spend $1000/hr excusing trump x 15hrs/dy x 1200 stations is $18M/day

or $5B/yr

radio does the repetition, unchallenged because dems ignore it, that fox needs to exist.

[femmedem]

31. Can you imagine if Hillary had paid hush money to a porn star?

You wouldn't be able to take two steps without landing in a giant mess of red gooey brain mush because a third of the country's heads would have exploded.

[brush]

58. Scuzzy candidate. Scuzzy campaign. Anyone else notice the NDA was signed on the 28th of Oct., 2016..

the same day as Comey's letter?

Just a coincidence, or a coordinated crossing of all the "T"s and dotting of all the "I"s by the repugs...including Comey, Chaffetz, Cohen, Giuiliani and all the other scuzz balls of the campaign?

[Eliot Rosewater]

61. No, did not notice. Fuck this, we were ROBBED

[avebury]

2. That, and unprotected sex with a porn star that he said was like his daughter. nt

[dalton99a]

3. +1

[MaryMagdaline]

4. Ugggh that is his favorite line

"You are special; you remind me of my daughter."

[avebury]

10. And he said the same thing to the Playboy Bunny

It makes you wonder if his MO is to target attractive young women that reminds him of Ivanka and, when he has sex them, is he fantasizing about having sex with Ivanka?

[cubbies01]

28. The things he has said

coupled with those creepy pictures to me suggest awful things.

[SammyWinstonJack]

34. Oh gawd. He's a sick SOB.

[GopherGal]

44. Didn't actually say which daughter...

.. though I think we have to hope it was Princess Ivanka
Tiffany was what, 13 or so at the time?

[RhodeIslandOne]

49. Tiffany practically doesnt exist.

[triron]

46. It's amusing yet pathetic.

[Miles Archer]

30. "You remind me of my daughter..."

"But Daddy...I am your daughter."

[jayschool2013]

41. Please. No.

I'm WAAAAAYYYYY too high right now to see and think about this.

Make it go away.

[JI7]

5. Trump is top stupid to think in such a way. It more likely has to do with

Personal embarrassment and other NDAs that may be out there.

[LBM20]

6. Oh I am sure Mr. Trump is just loving the SPANKING moment. hahahahaha...

[BumRushDaShow]

7. Yes, Cohen was "$120,000 over" his legal limit

from what I recall the program saying (although I thought the limit was $5,000 for individuals, which would include primary and general) - and with Drumpf not reimbursing, it becomes an "in kind" contribution. It could be the LLC he set up has that $10,000 limit.

[dawg day]

9. Did she implicate him in threatening her?

I'm not sure how he's kept his law license this long, but if he threatened someone....

[MaryMagdaline]

13. Not clearly enough

Anderson did not ask her WHO told you THEY could make your life miserable? Sounded like her attorney said this. He needed to ask the question.

The in-person threat took place 5 years earlier, Cohen was the attorney, but again, no connecting it up. A stranger threatened her. No police report.

His law license should be in jeapardy for paying a debt owed by his client. He of course is lying. His client paid him back.

[jberryhill]

16. No

She alleges someone threatened her back in 2011.

As far as the “threat” around the Jan 2018 statement, it was general threats to enforce the contract.

Avenatti acting like people don’t threaten one another with potential multimillion damages in legal actions every danged day, was mildly amusing. If your practice is something other than parking tickets, and you don’t see people flinging around threats of potential big damages at least twice a week, then you’re not reading your correspondence.

The statement in Jan 2018 denying an “affair”, I suppose, depends on one’s definition of “affair” as distinguished from one night stand.

[RandomAccess]

11. +1

[trueblue2007]

12. a 27 year old found him to be repulsive and he was 60 at the time?

He must have been one HECK of an ugly man at 60 years of age.

I have seen many men 60 years old who look really NICE to me !!

[MaryMagdaline]

14. She said she was not at all attracted to him.

She looked repulsed. She said she did not want to have sex with him. He was hugely overweight then.

[tblue37]

18. There's a pic of him with her when they met:

https://www.bing.com/images/search?view=detailV2&ccid=ZR7WKSlu&id=AE7D9835A043BBDF7F8778AC68A7157072633A54&thid=OIP.ZR7WKSluzHv9rBcwYXiLWwEsCk&q=trump+stormy+daniels&simid=608002380143919139&selectedIndex=4&ajaxhist=0

[SammyWinstonJack]

36. Yep, repulsive.

[dem4decades]

15. I can't believe that Cohen would ever turn on Trump.

[MaryMagdaline]

17. Anyone can be turned. Federal sentences can be daunting

[dem4decades]

19. Federal sentences can also be pardoned.

[MaryMagdaline]

21. Good point

[zentrum]

20. Good points. nt

[watoos]

22. I mean too bad it had to be Anderson Cooper

doing the interview. I mean who is dumber, Anderson, Tweety, or Wolf?

The part that I liked was when Stormy asked Trump about Melania and he said, it's ok, we sleep in separate beds.

Anyone ever see Trump interact with Barron? He ever take him golfing with him? What a pathetic father, he ignored all of his kids except Ivanka and he may have been too close to her?

[MaryMagdaline]

23. Barron is invisible to him ... like Tiffany

[FakeNoose]

26. I think he ignores the boys until they get to college age

I've read that he did the same thing with Junior and Eric. So if Barron gets to college in 7 or 8 years and his dad's still alive, then he might show some interest.

Mainly it's a business interest - he wants to make sure the boys learn enough to take over the Trump Organization eventually. So of course the boys grow up to be terrible fathers themselves. It's sad!

[Mr.Bill]

24. CAn Mueller even ask Cohen for info on Trump

because of Attorney-Client privilege?

[MaryMagdaline]

25. If the act is an underlying crime, it is not protected

Campaign finance violation, Bar violation, Russian bribery etc.

[no_hypocrisy]

29. How does Mueller get around the problem of attorney-client privilege?

In other words, how can he testify about matters that were the core of legally representing Donald Trump? If Cohen does, he can be disbarred for breaking a cardinal rule in Attorney Ethics.

[MaryMagdaline]

32. Not if he was facilitating a crime

1. Payoff to stormy. Was it an illegal contribution?
2. Russian Trump Tower? Was it a bribe or back channel deal?

[Jarqui]

54. That company in Stormy's NDA was set up by Cohen

I presume he was the director/signing officer for that company he is alleged to have set up.

With the FEC concerns, he'd have to answer questions about that role and his actions.

He has to be getting concerned about his ongoing ability to continue to practice law ...

I'm not advocating pity for Melania but after all the crap to date, to have a porn star and playboy bunny detail unprotected sex on national tv and the playboy bunny maintain he tol her he loved her for 10 months, that cannot have done Donald's relationship with Melania any good (except drive her away from him which most would agree is not a bad thing).

With what has happened to Cohen, with what has happened to his marriage, with the departure of Dowd and others failing to represent him legally, with the guilty pleas and indictments, with all the lawsuits, with all the White House firings, etc Trump's legal future seems to be built on a house of cards. It's going to come tumbling down eventually.

[bullwinkle428]

33. "SHE FOUND ME TOTALLY ATTRACTIVE!! BELIEVE ME!!"

"60 MINUTES IS FAKE NEWS!!"

[SammyWinstonJack]

37. "THAT I CAN TELL YOU'.

[MaryMagdaline]

40. You know he wants to say it!!!

Wants to pay her to say "best sex ever!"

[njhoneybadger]

35. You exchange body fluids with a porn star then have sex with your wife

That's fuck up, maybe Melania should have a pistol,just for her own protection.

[MaryMagdaline]

38. He doesn't care about other human beings at all

[Upthevibe]

39. What about the DVD that her Lawyer

was talking about?

[jberryhill]

47. It was round. With a hole in the middle. And in a sleeve

Beyond that, what about it?

[Kirk Lover]

53. RUMP probably had his way with that poor CD as well. AT least the CD had the sense to use

protection with sleeve.

[jberryhill]

59. Naw, the hole is too big

[watoos]

42. I was thinking the opposite

Stormy better get checked out after having sex with that pervert.

[Upthevibe]

43. Well, according to her it was only once

and that was in 2016. I was referring to the picture of the DVD he tweeted out leading some to believe that things could have been on tape....

[Honeycombe8]

45. Voters don't care about that, IMO. nt

[DinahMoeHum]

48. Wonder if he's in the doghouse with Melania. . .

[Doodley]

51. What's more disgusting? Trump or his supporters? His poll numbers will probably go up!

[MaryMagdaline]

52. Likely

[denbot]

55. Alley would off me for unprotected PHONE sex..

With a pre-recorded weather report.. How has that dickhead gotten away with that shit.

BTW I don’t think Cohen would roll over for a campaign violation.

[MaryMagdaline]

56. As well she should! 😊

[denbot]

57. Yes maam..

And I’m pretty sure it would hurt.. a lot!

[enid602]

60. Unprotected sex.

I hope Stormy took a long, long shower in Holy Water afterward.
