Stormy Daniels says she will 'go to jail' before paying Trump 'a penny'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Former adult film star Stormy Daniels said in a tweet on Monday that she would "go to jail" before paying former President Trump any money, following an appeals court decision ordering her to pay his legal fees.

"I will go to jail before I pay a penny," Daniels said in a tweet after a federal appeals court upheld the decision ordering her to pay Trump $300,000 in attorneys' fees after her failed defamation case.

Trump called the decision a "complete victory and vindication" in a statement Monday. Daniels alleges she and Trump had sex in 2006, and says his attorney paid her to stay quiet about it ahead of the 2016 election.

Daniels sued Trump in 2018 over a tweet in which he mocked her claim that a man threatened her in 2011 over her allegations of having sex with Trump. He called a sketch of the man a "con job."

3. The decision was based on the fact that Avenatti is a fucking moron

Here is the full decision:

Note this:

Because the district court’s 2018 order granting attorneys’ fees was a
final judgment, we have no jurisdiction over Clifford’s appeal of that award. To
invoke this court’s jurisdiction over an appeal, “[a] notice of appeal ‘must be filed
with the district clerk within 30 days after the judgment or order appealed from is
entered.’” Menken v. Emm, 503 F.3d 1050, 1055 (9th Cir. 2007) (quoting Fed. R.
App. P. 4(a)(1)(A)); Tillman v. Ass’n of Apartment Owners of Ewa Apartments,
234 F.3d 1087, 1089 (9th Cir. 2000). Because Clifford did not file a notice of
appeal as to the 2018 order until August 24, 2020, her appeal from the attorneys’
fees award was untimely.

The "brilliant Michael Avenatti" didn't even file the appeal on time.

Looked good on TV, though, didn't he?

As background, this case is distinct from the hush-money contract case, and was a separate idiotic defamation case that Avenatti railroaded her into filing.

But, yes, if she doesn't pay, the first step won't be jail, but they will come after whatever she might own (plus interest and costs).

4. So Avenatti did not file the appeal in time

That is a clear cut case of malpractice. She has to sue his malpractice carrier, assuming Avenatti had one.

5. I can't say that

I blame her. Giving that ass any money would be a hard pill to swallow.
