and tell us that it was Trump, that he knew she became pregnant with his child, and that he paid her for the abortion.

And then back it up with evidence (taped phone calls, medical records, etc).

DNA would be great... but very unlikely (think Monica's dress).

I've been shouting this from the rooftops for months! If the Bunny wanted to sleep with a rich older man, it certainly wouldn't be Broidy; it'd be the guy who's on tv!! Spanky also hung around Hefner and the Playboy Mansion, alot. Of course it was him! I just heard this morning that Broidy stopped the payments to her (only made two of the eight promised $200k payments). Wonder if this one will speak out now.

It will lower the fine he has to pay for colluding.
Meanwhile, he bagged a big deal that will pay him millions in commission from Qatar.
So, totally worth it to drag his family's name.

of any kind, would be willing to pay $1mil in hush money. Why would her secrecy be worth that much to him? And the fact that Cohen even used the same assumed names in the NDA is suspicious, to say the least.

Just sign it. No one looks at these...

The real question is why did Davidson, Broidy's lawyer, consult Cohen? He had no reason to risk disclosure to an unaffiliated party the client secrecy agreement he was trying to protect in a hush agreement. Unless Davidson thought DJT might care...

David Dennison slept with a Playboy playmate, impregnated her, and then had Cohen negotiate a hush-money deal. Trump has a well-documented history of having unprotected sex with women in the adult-entertainment industry, and then subsequently buying their silence via proxies. Trump also has a history of being obsessed specifically with Playboy playmates. Trump had a long-standing close friendship with Hugh Hefner, and often visited the Playboy mansion, to which he brought contestants from his television show The Apprentice. One such contestant noted:

Toward the end of the evening, I found myself in a small circle, conversing with Trump, Hefner, and another contestant. With a wry smile, Trump looked at Hefner and said, ‘It’s hard for me to tell which of these girls are yours and which ones are mine.’

Bechard was actually at one time Hefner’s girlfriend, while Trump and Hefner’s friendship mysteriously came to an end in 2016.

?

Defendant Trump initiated sexual contact with Plaintiff at four different parties. On the fourth and final sexual encounter with Defendant Trump, Defendant Trump tied Plaintiff to a bed, exposed himself to Plaintiff, and then proceeded to forcibly rape Plaintiff. During the course of this savage sexual attack, Plaintiff loudly pleaded with Defendant Trump to stop but with no effect. Defendant Trump responded to Plaintiff’s pleas by violently striking Plaintiff in the face with his open hand and screaming that he would do whatever he wanted.

Immediately following this rape, Defendant Trump threatened Plaintiff that, were she ever to reveal any of the details of the sexual and physical abuse of her by Defendant Trump, Plaintiff and her family would be physically harmed if not killed.

It is according to reports and statements in court.

Cohen claimed only two clients: tRump and ins-Hannity. I saw a report that Mueller's team in court concurred with the result that only about 187 out of over 250,000 documents had attorney-client privilege.

Maybe the lack of a witness or solid documentation is a factor? Maybe the abortion angle is too dicey? I don’t recall much, if any, reference to said affair (whether with Broidy or trump) ending in an abortion. The narrative always stopped at the “had an affair with” part.

Maybe somebody is already working on it? And if so, may such somebody not have a complete presentation ready to report yet? We have heard of stories wherein the reporter comments on how “we’ve been working on this story for the last four months...”.

Who knows? But now would be a PRIMO time to release a story involving trump knocking up a side dish and then having her get an abortion and buying her silence, ‘eh?

IF this is true, and I consider it among my most fervent hopes, then Cohen knows ALL the particulars. This would be a crime in that it is a bribe. And even though his bible thumping supporters will swallow most anything, I'm guessing at least some will find two things problematic: paying for an abortion, and doing this all while serving as POtuS! Cohen will have to proffer this testimony to secure any kind of plea deal, so it is a done deal. So it gets back to that big IF, and if true, Trump is TOAST. I think at that point impeachment proceedings will start with vigor. So I sure hope TF it is!

Broidy wasn’t named on Cohen’s short list of clients. I recall Dotard and Hannity. If Cohen negotiated a hush money deal for Broidy, then wouldn’t his name be made public at the same time as Hannity’s? I’ll bet Michael Avenatti knows the truth.
