Because she was paid off in 2016 during the election cycle.

If she had not been paid off in 2016 to cover up her involvement with Trump in 2010, nobody would really care about Stormy Daniels other than using her to point out that Trump is a scumbag when it comes to his personal relationships and marriage vows.

But, her fame now is 100% about a payoff during an election year and the lies surrounding it.

More like: "Suddenly the right doesn't care".

Hypocrisy on both sides. As we were reminded with Clinton, Edwards, and others, when you sign up for a public life, expect your life to be publicized. Nothing new to see here. Trump likely had indiscretions, he has to own it. Not an impeachable offense, but shots at his character at this point are fair game.


Personally, I'm surprised nobody has offered to pay her legal fees for her to spill. $20m would likely be mostly recovered by a good tell-all, and for someone with TDS (as you like to call it), getting the real story out there would be "Priceless".

Time for DeNiro to put up his mucho dinero....

Yeah, it's a real mystery why the for-profit media that makes their money on viewers via advertisers would cover a salacious story that obviously a number of people are interested in.

Complete mystery.

LMAO....no she isn't. She's trying to make a buck off the circus.

Let's at least call it what it is.

She was in my area last month cashing in by performing at the local strip club. They were advertising it on the radio. More power to her, she's a working girl and well...business is good for her right now. But let's not try to portray any of this as "standing up to Trump" .

It's not every day you find out that the sitting president of the United States paid off a porn star to not talk about the sexual affair they had three weeks after his wife gave birth to his child. Pretty crazy times we're in.

When the rumors of the Trump-Stormy affair first surfaced, most of the Trump loyalists claimed it was "fake news." Now that The White House Press Sec accidentally acknowledged it and Trump's lawyer has spoken about it so we know it is fact and not fake news, their opinion has shifted to "who cares?"

To be honest, the Stormy Daniels story isn't that big of a deal. Yes, Donald Trump is a man of low morals and character. POTUS Trump has cheated on every wife he's ever had, all three of them. We all know that, even Trump's most loyal supporters acknowledge that. But as far as him doing his job, this news has very little impact on anything that matters. Unless they find out that campaign funds were used to hush Stormy, then there's an actual issue. Otherwise, this is just private, civil issue.

Yep, hypocrisy on both sides is the norm on pretty much every topic imaginable.
The irony here is I don't think this hurts anyones perception of Trumps character.

I defer to any attorneys that post to the forum but I don't think they can just buy her out of her non-disclosure that way unless there is a clause built in allowing it.

The current lawsuits are for her violating that disclosure. Settling those would not allow her to then go make additional new disclosures.

Cohen, however, is still in some legal hot water for not reporting a campaign contribution.

Also, what is the legal situation of acting on a client's behave but not telling the client about it?

EC were the initials at the bottom of each page of the NDA. Apparently, this was Essential Consultants, the shell company Cohen set up to funnel the money to her.

Since neither Trump nor his alias Dennison signed the forms, does this mean the NDA is with EC?
Cohen. Isn't he a partner with the law firm of Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe?

Yep. That's the executive summary.

Unless they find out there is a similar agreement with Russians to keep a 2013 Moscow hotel room escapade quiet. And if the president made official government policy or decisions which favored Russia over the USA due to such NDA, in order to keep Russia quiet.

It could point to treason by the president of the USA if there is such an agreement with Russians to hide the alleged Moscow hotel room escapade and the president favored Russia over the USA in policy or decisions or other official capacity.

An example might be allowing Putin to choose Tillerson as the Secretary of State, as has been rumored. Or changing USAs policies regarding Ukraine to favor Russia's position.

If the president had a hush agreement with Russians for sexual escapades in Moscow, then there is a tie (similarity) to the Stormy Daniels NDA which shows a history of NDAs or agreements to hush past sexual escapades.

Like when a bank robber robs more than one bank. After getting busted for the first robbery, authorities see the pattern and tie the robber to other bank robberies.
