Threatened

An attorney for Stormy Daniels, the porn star who alleges she had a sexual relationship with Donald Trump and was paid $130,000 to keep quiet about it, said in a television interview yesterday that his client had been threatened with physical harm but declined to provide further information at this time (details here). The lawyer was speaking about the actress's forthcoming interview on 60 Minutes, currently scheduled for Sunday, March 25, 2018.

The nature of the threats and who made them was not revealed in the attorney interview yesterday.

A threat to keep quiet "or else," if it happened, would be attempted extortion and a felony. More general threats of violence would be a crime, too.

Almost certainly Special Counsel Robert Mueller, who is conducting the criminal investigation into Trump and his associates, will reach out to Daniels or her attorney for more details. If anyone in Trump's circle of acquaintences made any threats, then the question will become "what did the President know and when did he know it."

Some legal pundits have been speculating that the Daniels payment cover-up and possible violations of federal law involved might actually be more damaging to Trump ultimately than the Russian collusion scandal. If so, then the classic Watergate rule will be proven again: "it's not the crime, it's the coverup."

Definitely stay tuned.

  2. Nice photo of a daddy and his son naked. Must admit that the cuty has some «ass-ets» for me. MMMMMM !

    For the «45» shit mess: this is becoming so laughable that it's so obvious that this «monster» is a big pig and he's not cleaning the swamp.
    He's firing all those who are in his way no matter the consequences.

    This is such a clown and a real disgrace to the presidency.
    The worst is that he's supported by a right religious lobby.
    This is again very sad for such a sinful «man».
    (I hesitate to call him a «man» here because he's not worthy to have this name.)
