Could the DVD be video of Stormy being threatened in the parking lot?

[hexola]

This happened in 2011 - she could have gotten the video files - and they might be slow-walking the reveal...but unclear if they really know who the person who did the threatening is.

1. I strongly doubt it

I think the board is engaging in magical thinking. If she had such documentation from 2011 she would have settled for a lot more than $130K.

2. The DVD could also be nothing and they are just fucking with him.

Delicious.

[OnDoutside]

3. Yes that's even better, well almost as good anyway.

[PJMcK]

5. Exactly (n/t)

[poboy2]

11. Yep

Its an 'inkblot' to make the guilty shit a brick.

4. That's a stretch

Does Ms. Daniels have a videographer follow her 24/7? Who would have been with her to capture the unexpected encounter?

The interview was an expected yawn. Josh Marshall, at Talking Points Memo, pointed out that the only real things revealed were that Cohen is probably in a really tight jam respecting his law license because of the threats and his conflicts of interest. Likewise, the attorney who represented both Daniels and Karen McDougal likely violated ethics obligations by double dealing.

Trump? It's as if he wasn't even really there. She put out for him once with the hope she'd get on "The Apprentice." When Trump didn't deliver, she cut him off. I've heard that kind of thing happens all the time.

6. She might have recorded him making a promise to get her on the Apprentice in exchange for sex.

[FarCenter]

7. Yes, most likely voice messages and phone calls, emails, etc.

The sex and threat happened under conditions where it's unlikely to have been recorded.

But recall that she said that when he called she would be at "work" and she would put him on the speakerphone.

8. Hard to think surveillance video would offer much...Certainly no sound and grainy picture..

For all the CSI shows that seemingly miraculously produce clear resolution of faces from a pixelated blur, I am not sure that is very "real world".

I suppose anything is possible though.

10. "Forensic Files" had a couple of cases where they cleaned up surveillance videos

Even with the best technology NASA and FBI had the images were still pixelated blurs. Slightly clearer pixelated blurs but still not defined enough to recognize individuals.

NASA provided technology used to improve the Hubble telescope images before they did the big fix. I suspect that the FBI adopted that technology for their needs.

9. The most important thing I took away from this interview

The statement she made last night about how, when Rump would call her and she was in a crowd of people, she would put him on speaker phone? Could those people be corroborating witnesses?

12. Wouldn't have audio
