Stormy Daniels Sues the President

[Squeegee Beckenheim]

For now his staff (Ivanka?) have taken over his Twitter account and posted two lame tweets that clearly were not written by Trump.

As far as I know he has never tweeted about Stormy Daniels. This silence in itself, coming from someone who attacks furiously for the slightest perceived attack, seems indicative of how much he fears her.

Oh, I think this one is about the interview: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/978249938743234560

So much Fake News. Never been more voluminous or more inaccurate. But through it all, our country is doing great!

But you're right that it's clearly not written by him. I'd be surprised if "inaccurate" was in his vocabulary, let along "voluminous".

I'm trying to calibrate my "logger credibility" meter.

That's actually very easy.

First you set it to zero. Then you smash it with a large hammer.

Following this procedure it will always display with 100% accuracy.

 

[ponderingturtle]

I'm not sure it would be a crime. It would be unethical for the attorney and a possible path to voiding the contract, but probably not a crime. Daniels said last night that she took their first offer without negotiating and insisted that she's an intelligent, successful, businesswoman. So even if her lawyer were crooked, the contract might still be enforceable.

There are other grounds on which it's probably unenforceable. Fraud or overreach by Trump probably isn't one of them.

Oh the contract might be enforceable but that is still questionable if the attorney is conspiring against their client.

Not a very filling burger

...which makes the panic of Cohen/Trump to prevent her from talking seem downright petty.

Not seeing a whole lot of panic, but what i am seeing is an interest in keeping the story on the downlow to avoid additional stress on the family.

Anyone else notice how Stormy's deer in the headlines presentation was about her "legal (porn) business" and how people (strip clubs) want to pay her 4 times more for personal appearances?

She GOTS to get paid!

Unless there's some really disturbing stuff on that DVD, like him talking more about his daughter, the worst of it may be out. I'm amused because some of the details Daniels shared were humiliating for Trump and that's never a bad thing. Over all, I kind of already knew why a porn star and a misogynist prick would have an NDA. I didn't think they'd been making cupcakes together.

(Assuming making cupcakes isn't a sexual euphemism I wasn't previously aware of).

So after that ridiculous and tawdry spectacle they could not even draw a tweet from the President. Team Trump seems to be on their game here, and when the motion to compel arbitration gets granted, Attorney Hyperbole will lose his ability to grandstand.

Relieving my porn star client from the agreement she willingly and voluntarily signed is a "righteous" quest!

Quite a number of people don't think the agreement is enforceable, starting with the fact that the line for Trump's signature was left blank.

And Avenatti doesn't seem to have a history of taking on losing causes.

The interview was inconclusive for Trump, he still doesn't know whether images exist. He also doesn't know whether if they do exist they can be kept out of circulation. That opens up the possibility that if Stormy's lawyer starts to release images, stills or videos, he will weaken the hold Putin has over Trump.

Please don't. I don't care if I have to swear allegiance to Putin. It's not worth it.

 

[Bob001]

Which is actually a major problem with this because it has people talking about stuff that doesn't matter like Trumps sexual tastes, and not the important part like how vulnerable he is to blackmail from say Recorded Russian Sex parties he attended or the crimes involved in the illegal payoff.
......

The fact that he casually offered MacDougal cash after their first encounter indicates pretty clearly that he is accustomed to employing hookers, not to mention chasing porn stars. It wouldn't be a surprise at all if somebody has material that could hurt him, whether it was made in Moscow or Atlantic City.

They are wrong, she accepted the cash and Trump has clearly indicated his assent to the agreement through Course of dealing.

Avenatti thinks he has already one by getting his face splashed all over the place. You think if he really cared about Stormy and her "righteous" cause he would have filed the action without first seeking to do so under seal and let Stormy and her Dondi Eyeballs run off at the mouth on 60 minutes without securing a judicial ruling first?

Now the arbitrator should get her crack at it.

Somehow I suspect that their credentials -- and Avenatti's -- carry more weight than yours.

Maybe if any of them were concerned about the stress on the family Donald wouldn't go around pounding porn stars while his wife sits at home. Did you seriously try and draw sympathy for that garbage family? Donald and his kid both cheated on their wives regularly. I hope this story causes Melania to leave just the Don jr's wife. Leave those turds by themselves.

and yet, it is I who is correct.

She did have to have sex with a guy with the general physique of a 19th century side show attraction so there should be an upside for her. All that suppression of her disgust must have been quite the effort.

Danth's Law personified again.

No, you're not correct. You think you are, and you believe you've presented facts that confirm you are, but in reality you just don't address any counter argument to your statements. You handwave away the opinion of long time lawyers for no other reason than "nuh uh".

This court In re CFLC, Inc. (9th Cir.BAP1997) 209 B.R. 508, 513.) wrote:

Both California and Washington law recognize that a party acting pursuant to a contract, whether signed or unsigned, accepts the benefits of that contract and will be bound by it. See J.A. Jones Constr. Co. v. Plumbers and Pipefitters Local 598, 568 F.2d 1292, 1294-95 (9th Cir.1978); Southern Cal. Acoustics Co. v. C.V. Holder, Inc., 71 Cal.2d 719, 79 Cal.Rptr. 319, 322, 456 P.2d 975 (1969).

Sounds like them "long time" lawyers ought to get their asses back to law school.

Yes and quite possibly more than one party has damaging material. But it only takes one release of material to reduce the leverage any other party has. If the Stormy team doesn't release anything in the next couple of days perhaps the 60 Russian expulsions get reduced.

Yes, I'm sure all of them had absolutely no idea that those cases existed. Only TBD knows, and has thought to use them.

Did you say this is going to federal court?

IANAL, so if someone is maybe they could correct me, but if this turns out to be an illegal campaign donation doesn't that make the NDA moot? You can't have an NDA for illegal activity, unless I'm missing something.

What do you mean? Do you suggest Stormy is a man?

Anyone else notice how Stormy's deer in the headlines presentation was about her "legal (porn) business" and how people (strip clubs) want to pay her 4 times more for personal appearances?

She GOTS to get paid!

And why did you stop enlightening us about her filmography?
