Then why would his lawyer pay her $130,000?, what for?, why would he even say dumpf didn't know about the payment and bring his name into connection with it if it didn't have anything to do with it?.

Stormy's lawyer is going to clean cohens clock with this, it's why he's taking them to court, boy this would be fun to watch unfold in front of a judge.

Get out the popcorn.

was not required. Utter bullshit in my opinion, but that's what he said. Claimed Drumpf didn't need to know about it.

20. You can't act as an agent
Wed Mar 28, 2018, 10:34 PM
Mar 2018

without actual or apparent authority from the principal.

Actual = you (Cohen) are acting on behalf of principal (Trump) within the parameters authorized by the principal. E.g. Trump tells Cohen to negotiate enter a contract on his behalf.

Apparent = the principal's (Trump's) acts gave the other party (Daniels) reason to believe you (Cohen) had the principal's approval. E.g. Trump tells Daniels, "Talk to Cohen to work things out." Even if Trump never told Cohen specifically what to do, he made Daniels think Cohen was acting on his behalf.

I saw an article recently that Stormy had kept the dress she was wearing the night she and Trump had sex. If that’s true, she may have a semen sample that would prove her claim. Shades of Monica Lewinsky!

Cohen might not be indicted for illegal campaign donations.

If it's was to help Trump win by avoiding a scandal that's considered a campaign donation.
