Stormy Daniels Isn't Going Away Anytime Soon

March 10, 2018 at 7:45 am EST By Taegan Goddard

New York Times: “For nearly two months, since the Wall Street Journal first revealed an October 2016 payment to Ms. Clifford (known on screen as Stormy Daniels), the story had subsisted on the margins of national consciousness — a consequence, it seemed, of both the daily Trumpian overload and a wide-scale confusion over what, exactly, the whole affair amounted to. Was it tragedy or farce? Serious or sideshow? Was it all of them, leaving us paralyzed by the choice?”

“Despite the unrelated tumult of this week — tariff policy, staff turnover, nuclear intrigue — the ordeal has begun showing signs of an elusive longevity, coaxed by a lawsuit filed by her lawyer and an acknowledgment from Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House press secretary, that Mr. Trump’s side had pursued an arbitration proceeding against Ms. Clifford. The White House briefing room has been consumed by repeated questions about the payment.”

Whether Trump signed the non-disclosure agreement or not, consideration of $130,000 was given and accepted. Therefore, they have a good, enforceable contract.

They're getting their money's worth contesting it though so I'm not complaining.

And a hush scandal which may expose a pattern that leads to others

Flip the house and Senate in Nov and enjoy the fireworks.

Something so big and or volatile that he hasn’t said jack about or to her. He is treating her very differently from his other dalliances. IMO, Stormy has more than a blue dress....

She's getting tons of free publicity, which is gold in the porn industry. I wonder how many people that have never heard of her searched her out on the net. Probably lots.

She's playing Trump at his own game.
