I wonder if Trump's thug Calamari was the one who threatened Stormy Daniels

in the parking lot? It wasn't Cohen, because he was in the news so much she would have recognized him. So what about Calamari? He's the thug who once said he'd be willing to kill for Trump.

The adult-film star told Anderson Cooper she was on her way to a fitness class with her infant daughter when an unidentified man approached her.

"A guy walked up on me and said to me: 'Leave Trump alone. Forget the story,'" Clifford said. "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."

SNIP

Clifford said she was "rattled" by the man's comments and "absolutely" took them as a direct threat. She said her hands were shaking as she went into her exercise class.

When asked why she didn't report the man to the police, Clifford said, "Because I was scared."

To be fair, it doesn’t seem like Calamari was being employed for his massive intellect. According to The Washington Post, Trump hired the hulking Calamari as a bodyguard in the early ‘80s after witnessing him tackle two hecklers at the 1981 U.S. Open tennis tournament. Over the years, Calamari moved his way up the Trump Organization ladder, first becoming security director for Trump Tower in New York and, in a massive leap, executive vice president of the entire business operation. He’s been cited in numerous Trump biographies for his fierce loyalty to the president and even once admitted his willingness to kill for the man. So, yeah, not a genius.



Here is the drawing from Stormy's description, and a picture of a younger Calamari.

The eyes in the photo are different and the nose is shorter. Still, that's not to say he wouldn't have hired someone to do it.

Calimari appears dump enough to squeal on his boss if he's forced to squirm in front of squestioning.

Maybe they asked him in a closed session. Could this be one of those 500 times Cohen (or an accomplice) threatened someone? The drawing is close enough to be suspicious.

she went into her husband's office when he was sick to retrieve papers.

door was locked.

Calamari and other thugs broke in, roughed up her young son who was with her, took her purse, emptied it, threatened them.

Not saying Calamari isn’t a goon, just maybe not Stormy’s threatener.
