Self-respect be damned!
This sounds like a rumor Trump himself might plant. Hey, Dino, I need you to say I have this secret kid with a Playboy model. You might even be able to sell the rights!
It appeals to this hyper-masculine image of Trump out there impregnating the best, while diverting from ugly stuff like money laundering and building code violations. It also moves us quickly on to the next scandal without dwelling on what we have witnessed so far this week. In particular, we learned almost nothing in the Facebook hearings in Congress on the role or regulation of social media in future elections, siloing practices or social credit scoring. And Iâm not the only one upset about this.
Cohen was deeply engaged in burying as much of Trumpâs dirty sexual laundry as possible. Trump was accused of much worse than serial affairs with willing partners. But it makes no sense that AMI, The Enquirer, or Cohen would spend their own money to cover for Trump. There have to be specific quid-pro-quos and/or cash sources that implicate Trump directly in these secrecy agreements.

Wouldnât these clauses be against public policy?
The Secret Service has no role in policing his behavior and outing it would be professional Hard-Kari.

Upon discovering several cases of Viagra in Cohenâs offices, investigators were warned to be on the lookout for hardened criminals.

Whatâs amazing to me is how much heâll pay out to silence these rumors while refusing to pay contractors for work theyâve done. Maybe what the contractors really need to do is start a crazy rumor and then say, âThis will go away if you just pay me what you already owe me.â
Not a good business model, but then Iâm still surprised at the number of people willing to do business with the Liar-in-Chief when he has a reputation for cheating contractors all the time.

Federal investigators are looking into Cohenâs involvement in suppressing stories about Trump during the 2016 campaign.
Stepping back for a second, the political implications are all that really matter to me here. Iâve been persuaded by Joshâs line that there has to be something a lot more serious than this for Mueller to have seized on it and for the rest of the prosecutorial machinery to have okayed it, given the extreme seriousness of the attorney-client privilege stakes involved. But so far itâs shaping up as collusion to cover up âbimbo explosions,â to use a venerable phrase, and even though there are criminal implications, I just donât see that playing out politically as being all that damaging. I donât see anything here that doesnât just confirm the pretty universal perception of who Trump is already, whether youâre pro or con. And worse, in light of that prosecutorial discretion thing, it tends to play into Trumpâs victim-of-prosecutorial-overreach narrative. I enjoy a rich plateful of nutritious schadenfreude as much as the next guy, but if collusion to cover up âbimbo explosionsâ is all this whole shockingly serious raid ends up being about, even with a side-order of campaign finance violation, Iâm really not seeing anything that justifies how unprecedented a step it is.
Thatâs if thereâs nothing more to it.

If the National Enquirer is paying money for stories they donât intend to run in order to keep Trump from getting embarrassing press just before the election, Iâm pretty sure thatâs an in-kind campaign contribution and needs to be reported.

Cohn. Think about it. Itâs BRILLIANT. Raiding six of Trumpâs domiciles would have produced less damaging evidence against Trump.
Did ANYONE see this coming? No.
This isnât about bimbos and payoffs. Thatâs just the spin to keep the deplorables calm. This is THE FIXER people. Trumpâs henchman for YEARS.
They even got his PHONE.
This is the coup du grace

Yeah I didnât expect Cohen to go down this soon and yes I think theyâve got it all because Cohen is everything.
One wonders why the contractors donât put liquidated damages and binding arbitration clauses in their contracts with Donnie Two-scoops.
