"No, this is not remotely normal." Re: Micheal Cohen's lawyer.

No, this is not remotely normal.

The scenarios under which it is legal or ethical are highly improbable.



Here is Michael Cohen's lawyer and spokesman saying categorically that Cohen negotiated agreement w/o ever telling his client DJT anything abt it and made him a party to the agreement w/o any intention of telling him abt it or having him sign it. @MichaelAvenatti @renato_mariotti



As I suggested in my original tweet, this means that there was no contract between Trump and Daniels. The agreement only grants remedies to "DD" (Trump):



Michael Cohen's attorney just claimed on @OutFrontCNN that Trump was not aware of the Stormy Daniels agreement or the payment, which means that there was no contract between Trump and Daniels, and Daniels can release the materials. Why would he admit this on national television?

and lets hope the idiot did the same thing with all the other women he cheated with or assaulted.

As to why would this vile fuck lawyer say this, he simply knows nothing about the law and didnt realize what he was setting up by saying it.

We are now cruising at a level of two to the power of twenty-five thousand to one against and falling, and we will be restoring normality just as soon as we are sure what is normal anyway.

In the meantime, should I sit in a corner and rust, or just fall apart where I'm standing?
