I thought the reason for the payout was her threatening exposure right before the election. That swings it into the category of blackmail. Without the threat, no payout.

People forgot that she was receiving threats ( if true; to be honest it is hard to figure out who is telling bigger lies in all of it ) accompanied with hushmoney or bribe. This would be a blackmail.

If you mean she blackmailed him.  Odas is implying that he blackmailed her.

Did she? Did she ask for money or else? We do not know and noone has said anything about it on either side. But what we know or better, what has been said so far is that Daniels was paid in order to keep quiet and that she also received threats.

No it is not.  Blackmail is when you use information against someone to force them to do or give something.  What this prostitute got was a payout or a bribe to keep an affair with Trump a secret.  One is forced on you the other you accept of your own free will. 

I'm going to guess she signed a non-disclosure agreement along with the payout so at some point (probably after Trump is out of office) he will, through the legal system, well and truly wreck her life.  I hope the fame and notoriety is worth it to her.  Like most whores, she's not too bright.

i can't believe that none of our female members hasn't pointed out that Trump is the bigger whore.

Why else would they pay off a decade old sexcapade with a hooker to keep her mouth shut?  I'm sure billionaire Trump slept with more women than just her in the years leading up to the election, don't you think?

Sure he did. No argue there. He has the money. But, you guys are missing the point. HE cheated on Melania with likely more then just one. All the talk about Billy and his sexcapedes by Trump. Turns out he is even worse then BC. If all that came out before election we would have a real President now, not saying HC but maybe a REAL republican.

we do not care if he cheated,  get over it. move on,

Thanks. It's kind words like these that keeps me motivated to continue doing what I do.

Hope you're healing well after your stroke. I can't imagine what it must be like, being unable to access the entire left of you brain.

That's pretty low, man. Not so much calling her a whore, but levelling that insult at all prostitutes. Not what I'd expect from you.

It's also b******s. Being turned out by a pimp has nothing to do with intelligence, and some of the high class escorts are actually highly intelligent, using the occupation to set themselves up for life through school or investing in and starting their own businesses.

The NDA has apparently been voided, so I read.

And I don't think she'll be too worried about Trump coming after her. Her lawyer is an absolute killer.

Posters are reminded this is a family site.

 

Also facts are.

Stormy Daniels is a porn star and not a hooker. Two different things. Unless you think women who make money from sex are all hookers.  Like swimsuit models or hooters waitresses.

Prostitutes are not necisarily low IQ. University areas are often accompanied with brothels and strip joints* because female future Doctors and Lawyers do pay for their education in this manner.

Trumps legal team did briefly try to claim that the money was a blackmail payment, which was quickly discredit because, well, Who let's their lawyer just pay random blackmail checks you know nothing about? Especially ones that just happen to coincide with your Presidential race? That was the weirdest defence yet.

Is it as bad as Bill? That depends, had Hillary just given birth to thier child?**

Bill lied under oath,  Donald lied on Airforce 1. 

Porn stars,  hookers and sex workers in general are people too and as such are deserving of respect. 

*Want proof, have a wander around the outskirts of a University.

**Mothers deserve respect too.

Thank you for this. I've tried to make this point here already. I hate it when people treat them as sub-human.

There is a famous court case here in New Zealand where a woman  by the name of Louise Nicholas was raped by 3 Police officers. Her complaint was ignored and even laughed at because she was a sex worker.

Three men where effectively allowed to gang rape her because of the job she had.

There is far too much misogynistic judgement passed on sex workers. Apparently real men can pick on a prostitute or somebody who uses one. This  makes the real man or woman feel better.

I only view that as someone trying to boost thier own ego by putting others down.

Quote

Donald Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, received a secret payment of at least $400,000 to fix talks between the Ukrainian president and President Trump, according to sources in Kiev close to those involved.

The payment was arranged by intermediaries acting for Ukraine's leader, Petro Poroshenko, the sources said, though Cohen was not registered as a representative of Ukraine as required by US law. The meeting at the White House was last June.

Shortly after the Ukrainian president returned home, his country's anti-corruption agency stopped its investigation into Trump's former campaign manager, Paul Manafort.

The corruption knows no bounds. Drain the swamp? Looks like they're trying to found New Dagobah.

I expect we might find out at his trial. Or more likely, the evidence will be so overwhelming that no source will be needed.

The guy has taken money from any organisation he can, offering access to Trump in return. Many of the organisations have openly admitted this.

I'm fairly certain he will be. I'm willing to wager 10 cubes of concrete that he will be charged.
