Ooh, we’re going to break TPM’s comments server again, aren’t we!
ETA: How long for Melania to exercise her side of the pre-nup and take his ass to the cleaners?
Somebody blinked, and it wasn’t the Playboy model.
The floodgates are open!!!
Breaking news: Poop train seen rolling off Chiselin’ Trump’s tongue.
“AMI has the right to $75,000 of future profits obtained from McDougal telling her story.”
The humble tale of an all-American boy…
Zed: “Bring out the Trump.”
Maynard: “Trump’s sleepin’.”
Zed: “Well, I guess you’re gonna have to go wake him up now, ain’t ya?”
Who’s excited? Are you excited? I’m excited. This should be good.
My caution, don’t count your chickens before they hatch… there seems to be a reason for releasing her from silence, why?
This really sounds like AMI is distancing itself from the stench.
Another Trump ally waves bye-bye.
Not to be mean, but she had to know what she was signing up for. I mean, it isn’t like there wasn’t a well-established pattern of infidelity by Trump. The only one I feel sorry for is Barron. And I am so glad to see the mainstream media generally leaving him alone, unlike the flood of stories about Chelsea and Sasha/Malia by the right wing media.
You got that right! As more folks see these women winning in court more people will feel comfortable coming forward. Some will do so just because they hate PP and want revenge while others will be hoping for a payday. It won’t matter either way because each will open a new Pandora’s box and new exposure for PP and Cohen. The real question is who wants to bet on the total number of broken NDAs by year’s end? Including McDougal and Daniels, I’ll say a dozen.
She will be on TV as often as James Comey! Will Rachel interview her?
Will Melania be released from her NDA next?
Not to be a contrarian, but the best thing the Trump cadre can do is just invalidate the NDAs and let his victims talk. Everyone knows Trump is a misogynistic pig. His deplorable followers know as well. They just don’t care or admire Trump’s behavior. The constant onrush of Trump scandals will bury this story. (God I hate saying all of this).
More likely Melania has a prenup with Don the Con.
Because what could come out in a lawsuit would be worse.
I thought that perhaps the most important part of the NYT story was this:
“But that was roughly a week before federal investigators obtained email communications, audio recordings and other documentation from Mr. Cohen during their raid of his office, home and hotel room. Those materials included information about American Media and the McDougal suit, people involved in the case said.”
Add to that Cohen’s secret role in the catch-and-kill agreement, and the collusive arrangement with Davidson, and those involved in the McDougal case, including Spanky Two-Scoops, must have been doing backflips to try to get it settled.
Every week is more infrastructurey than the one before.
I agree with every word, but for Spanky, making people sign NDAs is as central to his existence as breathing is for the rest of us. It’s a way of exerting power over people. It would be more rational to just let the victims talk, but I suspect he’s too investing in the process to do that.
Because Pecker has been exposed to lawsuits and his firm resolve has shriveled.
