'When the Lights are Gone': Michael Cohen's Attorney Promises Consequences If Stormy Daniels Talks

[DonViejo]

An attorney for Michael Cohen levied a threat toward porn star Stormy Daniels Friday afternoon in an interview on the Law&Crime Network. (Cohen is an attorney for Donald Trump and/or his affiliated companies.) Speaking with Law&’s Lis Wiehl, attorney David Schwartz said he wanted to give Daniels something to think about “when the lights are gone and the cameras are off.”

-snip-

Schwartz argued Daniels had already breached the contract, then said:

That’s a valid contract. It’s a million dollars per violation, and I can tell you, this is right from Michael Cohen’s mouth, he will not rest. He will make it his life’s mission to collect every single cent from Stormy.

Schwartz continued:

If Stormy’s watching right now, when the lights are gone and the cameras are off, and we all can go on with our lives, just know that this violation is blatant, and this violation . . . there will be justice, because he will go after every single penny. He will not rest until he collects millions of dollars in liquidated damages and punitive damages.

1. Trump threatens to sue everyone and then just slinks away.

2. How do these thugs still have law licenses?

I realize that lawyers are not always held in the highest esteem, but there are some minimum standards of conduct, which these goons seem unaware of. They sound like mob fixers, guys named Vinnie and Guido with their violin cases and talk of sleeping with the fishes.

3. So she hides her assets like Trump always does when he declares bankruptcy. He gets nothing.

Seriously. Does he really think anyone cares about his sexual escapades. No one even cares if his penis is proportional to his stubby fingers. Melania doesn't give a fuck...though she might get more money from her contract with him if he does not keep his indiscretions hidden.

Worst case, he gets tabloid press from everyone but the Inquirer (which adores his every exhale and snort) and he still gets to destroy the country while stealing billions and making everybody miserable.

6. Her assets are hard to hide, just sayin'. n/t

[Freethinker65]

7. Ha! But seriously, she could just declare bankruptcy.

[rzemanfl]

8. This is just blowhard lawyers spouting off. Pay it no never mind.

Check your PMs for a lawyer joke.

[Freethinker65]

13. Got the joke. I am surprised anyone takes this seriously.

All that Trump has done to destroy this country, and this is what makes news.

14. I got a "second warning" from the DU mods for making a similar joke.

Glad to someone else has a similar sense of humor.

[rzemanfl]

16. What sense of humor? She needs to move to a debtor friendly state like Florida.

Whatever did you think I was talking about? Heavens!

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

20. I took it as a double-entendre.

Guess I have a dirty mind.

[yardwork]

18. There are no DU mods and no warnings on DU. What are you talking about?

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

19. Well...

Someone apparently objected to a post I wrote concerning Stormy Daniel's statuesque form. Which is fine, we all have our own thoughts as to what is funny. Then I got a DU Mail telling me that the post had been taken down for violating DU guidelines, with the ominous warning, "This is your second notice." It said I could appeal, but since I could understand their point of view I let the reprimand stand unchallenged.

I have been a member of DU since the year it was founded, and over that time have posted about 6,000 times, mostly links to articles relevant to the discussion at hand, sometimes images or videos I thought showed the funny side of the news (but never have I "Rick-Rolled" the website). A couple of times I have started a thread. Pretty much the standard stuff.

I didn't know DU had eliminated the moderators. I had thought that they were what kept DU civil and focused.The couple of times I was affected, I fully accepted the decisions of moderators and juries (do we still have those?). They were there to ensure the integrity of the board, and I appreciated their service.

So now I don't know who sent me the warning, and that bothers me.

I guess the words that stuck in my craw were "second notice." It's pretty ominous, isn't it? It seems threatening, and I find myself censoring myself in case someone else be offended, and I get whatever follows the second notice. Having been a journalist and lawyer, I already tend to be pretty careful of the words I use, and this feels really constrictive.

That's why I groused about the second notice thing. Sorry I didn't know about the mods.

4. I guess he's too busy kissing Putin's ass to sue his accusers, as he threatened during the campaign

So much hard work golfing, tweeting about "Alex" Baldwin and SNL, planning military parades...I'm sure he'll get around to making good on those threats any day now.

5. That guy is reading from an old script. n/t

9. *...this is right from Michael Cohens mouth, he will not rest. He will make it

his life’s mission to collect every single cent from Stormy.”

Yeah, because he’s out $130,000 plus needs to pay you your retainer, eh David?



Sounds like a plan, buddy!

[dawg day]

10. He will make it his lifes mission to collect every single cent from Stormy.

That might be hard from a jail cell. Maybe Mr. Schwartz will handle Cohen's lawsuit against Ms Daniels pro bono?

[JDC]

11. Yawn. More gutless intimidation.

[enough]

12. The thug thing will work as long as it continues to work. We dont know how long that is. NT

[spanone]

15. fucking criminals...one and all.

[dlk]

17. Behaving Like the Mobbed-Up Thugs They Are

21. Was she the Meryl Streep of porn stars?

How does he think she has deep pockets?
