You can have a two-way NDA. You can also have a one-way NDA. Happens all the time.

The first time I read that I thought it said “or he’s going to flip Mueller”
A longshot, but nice thinking outside the box! :smirk:

Unless it’s somehow spelled out in the arbitration agreement, you can most certainly get discovery in an arbitration. It’s up to the arbitrators how much/what kind/timelines, etc. but discovery can be obtained in arbitration.

“Everyone else” is already disgusted. It def won’t make a difference to his base, since they already use the word in daily conversation. Honestly I can’t figure out what the big deal here is. Trump called people the n-word! Who’s surprised? How is this any worse than Access Hollywood tape?

Naw. Manaford has no witnesses, but he owns the judge, no need to make a case.

O course. Anything that doesn’t completely favor Donald is unfair to him.

She likely spent a bit of time talking to a lawyer while writing her book. Since the campaign taping did not include Trump directly, maybe there is a loophole in that NDA. If Cohen wrote it

Well if the tape ever comes out you will see by people’s reactions what the big deal is.

They’re going to put on their case in their closing. I’m guessing they’ll spend their time blaming Gates and attempting to explain away all the evidence.

The jury still gets a say, right? Jeez.

There are Russian mafia everywhere. There are probably some under your bed. I’m pretty sure there are a couple living in the apartment above me. But as long as Manafort doesn’t flip, he’s safe. Putin put out the word on that some time back. Shortly after the poisoning of the Skirpals, Putin announced that the one thing he can’t forgive is betrayal. So if Manafort stays stumm, he should be safe.

Betrayal ‘unforgivable’
In the film, Mr Putin says that he may forgive some things, “but not everything”.

When asked by Mr Kondrashov to clarify what cannot be forgiven, the Russian leader says: “Betrayal.”

However, Mr Putin says he has not yet had to deal with “serious events that can be called betrayal”.

“Maybe I have chosen people who are not capable of doing such a thing,” he says.

This response to Trump’s “dog” comment is priceless:

Edit: Comments aren’t working on TPM for that article.

I’m sure Manafort appreciates everyone getting him a pardon and making him safe from Putin. hahaha

I am not convinced of all of that. I’m waiting for the jury to come in and to see what happens next.

Ban NDAs.

I’m waiting to see what Manafort actually looks like now that he hasn’t had his hair cut or tinted in a few weeks. Courtroom drawings don’t capture how disheveled he’s likely to be.

With the turn that happened Sunday at Unite the Right 2.0, I guess this IW t-shirt color is appropriate.
