Alleged payment to porn star was illegal donation to Trump campaign, watchdog says

[asurfaholic]

The only way that is possible is if you personally knew Trump and spent a lot of time with him. Otherwise everything you hear about him is from somebody else.

I have no idea, neither do you.. we don't even know if the affair actually happened.

I'm pretty sure if there is a God that he sent Trump specifically to help save us from Hillary and the deep state.

Early leaks can be foggy, let's wait till investigations are completed all the facts come out.

So that is who you have been hanging around with lately. Trump dalliences are not exactly a well- kept secret. Think he would be married four times if he was faithful? He was cheating on Ivana with Marla Maples who he made his next wife.

 

[goldenequity]

It's going to impact Melania. No doubt in my mind.

Knowing Trump, my guess... is that he's never admitted to anything.

If she (now) begins to 'fall off the radar'... appointments/speaking engagements/public appearances... then I'm 100% sure.

We might (then) be looking at a lame (donald) duck (single/separated) term.

If that happens, the question (for me) will be:

Will we end up with an 'angry' President? 'cucked' President? Depressed President? bi-polar President?

Ramifications could keep you awake at night.

All eyes on Melania.

"With her schedule it was easier to meet him on the plane," Stephanie Grisham, the first lady's communications director, said in a statement.

US Democrats not quite successful in poisoning Trump’s life - Lavrov
http://tass.com/politics/990519

MOSCOW, February 17. /TASS/. Democrats are going out their way to poison President Trump’s and the entire Republican Party’s life by any imaginable means
but still they are not successful to the end in their striving, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Friday in an interview with the Euronews channel.

"It’s quite clear that the Democrats can’t reconcile themselves to the defeat [in the 2016 presidential election - TASS] that caught them fully by surprise,
and now they are going out of their way to poison life for President Trump and the entire Republican Party," he said.
"But for Trump in the first place, of course, since he a leader from outside of the system."

"They’re failing to do it to the extent they’d want," Lavrov said.

He pointed out Trump’s persistence in conducting an identical political line in spite of the necessity for compromises with the Congress.

"Trump has confirmed more than once his genuine intention to fulfill everything he spoke about during the election race,
including the promotion of normal, respectful, mutually beneficial and advantageous relations with Russia," Lavrov said.

Russia launching lawsuits against US over seizure of Russian diplomatic property
http://tass.com/politics/990517

"Of course, it is sad that over more than a year of Trump’s presidency our relations have failed to improve
from what they were under the Democrats’ administration," he said. "They have even worsened in a sense."

"Obviously, I mean the seizure of our diplomatic property, which runs counter not only to the Vienna conventions
but to all the principles underlying the US constitution and society, namely the inviolability of private property," he noted.
"This principle has been infringed upon and now we are launching lawsuits in the United States, as we warned."

On September 2, 2017, the United States’ authorities closed Russia’s consulate general in San Francisco, the trade mission in Washington and its rented office in New York.
The former two facilities are Russia’s government property and enjoy diplomatic immunity.
Moscow considers the seizure of Russian diplomatic property as an openly hostile act and calls on the United States to immediately return these facilities.

Addressing a news conference after the BRICS summit in China’s Xiamen on September 5, 2017,
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced plans to go to court over the seizure of Russia’s diplomatic property in the United States.

Melania Trump aide blasts ‘salacious’ reports amid Stormy Daniels controversy

By CRISTIANO LIMA
01/26/2018 05:46 PM EST

A spokeswoman for Melania Trump lashed out at the “laundry list of salacious & flat-out false reporting” about the first lady on Friday as allegations of a past extramarital affair by President Donald Trump have grabbed headlines.
It was unclear what specific report the first lady’s team was responding to. But several articles in recent days have linked her absence on the president’s overseas trip to the World Economic Forum in Switzerland to allegations that Donald Trump had sex with a former adult film actress in 2006 shortly after Melania Trump gave birth to their son, Barron.

A CNN report published Thursday noted that the first lady had endured “a difficult start to 2018” as outlets covered claims, first reported by The Wall Street Journal, that the president’s longtime personal lawyer paid Stephanie Clifford, a porn star who performs under the name Stormy Daniels, $130,000 before the 2016 election as part of a nondisclosure agreement to cover up the affair.
On Friday, the Daily Mail tabloid further connected the dots, writing that the first lady was staying at a “posh D.C. hotel away from President Trump” in response to the allegations of an affair.

Haley: Affair rumors 'absolutely not true' 02:23

Story highlights

• Haley said the rumors are "disgusting" and "offensive"
• A line in the book says Trump has been spending "a notable amount of private time with Haley"

Washington (CNN)US Ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley says a rumor sparked by "Fire and Fury" author Michael Wolff is "disgusting" and illustrates the kinds of accusations women in the workplace face.

"It is absolutely not true," Haley told Politico's podcast "Women Rule," which aired Thursday. She was referring to a rumor that she has carried on an affair with President Donald Trump, which has not been verified by CNN.

Pence told RNC he could replace Trump on ticket after 'Access Hollywood' tape came out: report
The Atlantic reported that Pence made clear to the RNC that he could assume the position of the party's nominee.
At the time, there was reportedly talk about making Pence the nominee and former secretary of State Condoleezza Rice his running mate.

Glad you brought that up.
He's either guilty or not guilty.

Let's say he's guilty and unconfessed. (uhhmmm that would be NORMAL/not just adultry... trust me.)

His instant 'conversion' sometime around the inauguration
(by the 'Israel first'/fundamental right/Pence/neocon dominionist crowd...)
and
his OWN CONSCIENCE are now constantly conflicted by the media onslaught and Melania face-to-face/daily.

I'll cut to the bottom line rather than 'play' with nuances:

If he determines in his OWN mind/heart to 'follow' the 'real' Jesus
(the one he's only been 'professing' to 'know'.... to the adoration/applause of those who are USING him...)
a REAL conversion might take place.
Were that to happen...
It would be the best decision he ever made.... spiritually/personally.

Would he have to publicly acknowledge?
No. He wouldn't 'have' to.
Those that would say he 'must'..
don't know my Jesus.

If he chooses this path... we would see a different man, a 'forgiven' man.
The benefits would be enormous... someone who starts obeying his conscience..
instead of the 'pressures' that surround him... and I include the Pence groupies.


back to politics...
the 'sticky' part is that he couldn't continue to publicly 'deny' (aka lie)
so...
my suggestion:
Melania takes the lead and says
"Donald and I have a strong marriage and we solve ALL our problems as they come up.
There is nothing hidden between my husband and I." etc etc
move on.

Then again
he could go the 'King David' choice.
God confronted him... and David publicly confessed to being
1. a murderer and
2. an adulterer.

Yet...
he continued to be loved by the people... still celebrated as their greatest King..
and
Jesus named himself as a descendant of that murdering adulterer David...
and
he's the ONLY one with the biblical epitaph 'A Man After God's Own Heart'





Wat will ya do Donald?

Trump tweets denial of woman's claim he kissed her without consent

By Dan Merica, CNN
February 20, 2018

Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump on Tuesday denied the account of a woman who alleges he kissed her on the mouth without her consent.

Rachel Crooks, who first went public in the months before the 2016 election, says she greeted Trump outside an elevator in the building where they both worked in an attempt to be cordial to one of her company's business partners. But after saying hello and shaking hands, she claims Trump kissed her on her cheeks and then on the mouth.

Ashley Parker, the reporter, noted that Vice President Mike Pence once had told The Hill, a political newspaper and website, that he never dines with women alone, nor does he attend functions without his wife if alcohol is being served.

New Yorker: Ex-Playmate alleges Trump system for covering up affairs

By Veronica Stracqualursi, CNN

February 16, 2018Washington (CNN)A former Playboy model who claims she had an affair with Donald Trump beginning in 2006 is going public with a description of Trump's alleged system for concealing affairs.

In an eight-page, handwritten document that The New Yorker obtained, Karen McDougal detailed her alleged affair with Trump for nine months from June 2006 to April 2007, when Trump was two years into his marriage with Melania Trump, the future first lady. The document was provided to The New Yorker by McDougal's friend, but she confirmed to the magazine that the handwriting in the document is hers.
The magazine's story was published on Friday.
The document describes how Trump allegedly carried out his affair with McDougal -- paying for dinner in a private bungalow at the Beverly Hills Hotel, offering her money after the first time they had sex and reimbursing her for travel.

FBI raids Trump lawyer's office

By Avery Anapol - 04/09/18 04:00 PM EDT 3,243

The FBI on Monday raided the office of President Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, and seized emails, tax documents and records related to his payment to adult-film star Stormy Daniels.
Cohen's lawyer, Stephen Ryan, said in a statement that federal prosecutors in Manhattan obtained a search warrant after receiving a referral "in part" from special counsel Robert Mueller. Ryan called the search “completely inappropriate and unnecessary.”
The New York Times reported that the payment to Daniels is just one of "many topics" being looked at by the FBI.

Other seized documents include business records and communications between Cohen and Trump, but the raid does not appear to be directly connected to Mueller’s probe of Russian meddling in the 2016 election, according to The Times.Among the materials agents secured are those related to Cohen’s $130,000 payment to Daniels as part of a nondisclosure agreement related to her alleged 2006 affair with Trump.

The payment went through just days before the 2016 election. Cohen has admitted to paying Daniels, but denied it violated campaign finance laws.

Last week, Trump denied knowing about the payment. It was the first time he had addressed the issue publicly.
"You'll have to ask Michael Cohen," Trump said. "Michael is my attorney. You'll have to ask Michael."
Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, filed a lawsuit last month claiming that a nondisclosure agreement she signed regarding the alleged affair is invalid because Trump never signed it. Her lawyer on Sunday filed a renewed motion to depose Trump and Cohen over the payment.

Update: Michael Cohen's lawyer says the FBI seized privileged communications between Cohen and his clients - a group that notably includes President Trump. And thus, we have what could quite possibly be an ulterior motive for the search.
While initial reports suggested the raid on Cohen's home wasn't related to the Mueller probe, CBS is reporting that it's unclear whether the raid was in relation to Stormy Daniels, the Mueller probe or something else.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Cohen's office in Rockefeller Center was searched along with his home and hotel room.

Update II: As many probably suspected, Trump attorney Michael Cohen is under investigation for possible fraud and campaign finance violations, the Washington Post reported.
The FBI has seized documents - including emails, tax documents and other records - related to Cohen's $130,000 payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels.
Meanwhile, President Trump has stepped up to defend his longtime personal attorney, calling the raid "a whole new level of unfairness" and going as far to say it was an "attack on our country, on what we stand for before heading into a meeting with top military leaders." He also described the special counsel's team as "the most conflicted group of people I've ever met" and said the raid was "a disgraceful situation."
Trump added that the raid happened after Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein - who is supervising the Mueller probe - approved a referral that Mueller brought to the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York.
Jeff Sessions also came under fire as the president bashed him once again for recusing himself from the Mueller probe. Trump also exclaimed that "no one is looking at the other side" referring to Clinton's 30,000 missing emails.
"I have this witch hunt constantly going on," he said.
