    On opening Blanche said Trump is "innocent" and the money he paid to .Cohen wasn't a "reimbursement".
    Go figure

    If tRaitor tRump wouldn't have invited her to his room and "****ed" her ... ??? Do you think he would have entered into an NDA with her, would they be in court now? "****ing" her has everything to do with ALL of this. :shock:

    Cross-examination of Stormy Daniels reminiscent of pre-'Me Too' era
    [​IMG]
    Laura Jarrett


    Legal trials involving disputed claims of sex have historically involved defense attorneys cross-examining survivors on the way they’ve changed their stories over time and highlighting any inconsistencies.

    The first criminal trial of a former American president is no exception.

    So far, Necheles, Trump's attorney, has insinuated Daniels couldn’t have been intimidated because she worked in porn and was good at making up “phony stories.” Watching this cross-examination by Susan Necheles is almost a throwback to an earlier, pre-“Me Too,” time.

    Trump can testify to make that claim. But the lying bag of **** won't.

    Stormy is EPIC!
    Love me some Stormy. All day/Every day...
    Just on general principles, Jeff Bezos should give Stormy $100 Million...
    With great power comes great responsibility. CNN contributor Van Jones felt the weight of this statement after receiving $100 million from Amazon Founder Jeff Bezos.
    In 2021, Bezos gifted Jones the money and instructed him to do as he wishes with it. Chef José Andrés was also a recipient of $100 million.

    It's relevant to support the "catch and kill" story told by Pecker. Have you been asleep during the testimony like the Orange Ripvanwwinkle?

    Trump attorney questions Daniels about celebrity golf tournament


    Defense attorney Susan Necheles is now asking about the celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe where Stormy Daniels and Donald Trump met.

    Necheles asks Daniels if Trump played well at the tournament. "I don't know what the scores were," she says.

    "People were recognizing who he was?" Necheles asks.

    "Yes, but they recognized me where I went that day, too," Daniels says with a shrug.

    Trump attorney picks at Daniels' prior testimony regarding her strip club tour
    Trump attorney Susan Necheles is returning to the "Make America Horny Again" strip club tour, reminding Stormy Daniels that she testified she hates the name, which is a play on Trump's campaign slogan “Make America Great Again."

    Necheles asks whether Daniels ever posted about it on social media.

    "Sometimes they made me retweet them," Daniels says.

    The jury is seeing two posts about the tour from Daniels' instagram in 2018.

    Earlier today, Daniels testified that she never posted about the tour.

    "That's not my personal Instagram, that's my business Instagram," Daniels said of the post.

    Will he be called by prosecutors to testify.
    He's involved in both McDougals and Stormy's relationships with Trump.

    P.S. Where is Keith Schiller these days? He has to know easily as much as Michael Cohen

    I've always wondered the same. He was paid a lot of money and then seems to have simply vanished not too long after he went to Comey's office to "deliver" the pink slip. I'd hazzard a guess he's living in a country that has no extradition with the US.

    This is the defense attorney's last question to Daniels


    In her final question to Stormy Daniels, Trump attoreny Susan Necheles says "you never had an affair with President Trump but realized you could earn money" by claiming you did.

    Judge Juan Merchan sustained an objection to the question, and then the cross-examination wrapped up.

    Daniels testifies she doesn't "really understand" what Trump is charged with
    Trump attorney Susan Necheles asks Stormy Daniels if she knows what Donald Trump is charged with.

    "I don’t really understand. ... I'm just here to answer the question asked to me," she says.
    "There’s a lot of indictments," she says with a shrug.
    Necheles asks Daniels if she knows anything about Trump's business records.

    "I know nothing about his business records, no, why would I?" Daniels responds.

    Daniels confirms she was motivated to enter NDA for her safety


    Prosecutor Susan Hoffinger is walking through Stormy Daniels' motivation for entering into the non-disclosure agreement, including her fear for her safety.

    Daniels recalls being told about being safer hiding in plain sight.

    "Something won’t happen to you if everyone is looking at you," Daniels says, noting it was one of the reasons she signed the NDA.

    Hoffinger follows up: "You were also happy to take the money?"

    "We’re all happy to take money. It’s just a bonus," Daniels says

    The dirty details are irrelevant.

    Her testimony was a disaster when she was cross examined, though.

    Trump talking with attorney during sidebar


    Donald Trump is chatting with Todd Blanche, gesturing with his hands and leaning over to whisper in his attorney's ear, as lawyers are in a sidebar.

    Prosecution revisits prior interviews
    Prosecutor Susan Hoffinger is focusing on Stormy Daniels' "60 Minutes" interview.

    "You didn’t tell every single detail to Anderson Cooper, did you?" Hoffinger asks.

    "No," Daniels says in a soft voice.

    Hoffinger also shows the InTouch article in 2011 and says it was "lightly edited," noting again that Trump attorney Susan Necheles did not mention that during cross-examination.

    I wonder how long the RNC/PAC (?) paid him 15,000 a month when he left the White House.
    He opened some kind of security business and the RNC used him for Trump rallies.

    Stormy's highly detailed testimony she went into is why Trump paid her to be silent.
    "Old Spice" and "Pert Plus" ...lol
    Wanna ask Trump about Little Mushroom and Yeti?
    Photos can do it to clear him, eh?

    No, Daniels' testimony had one purpose: to prejudice the jury. Even the judge said the prosecutor went too far.

    As I've pointed out, her testimony overall was a disaster.
