After all, the vast majority of porn has always been run by men for men, without a lot of input from the women "stars" who tend to be exploited, overworked, and under paid.

Stormy clawed her way to the top of that very ruthless industry. Somehow, I don't think Trump scares her at all.

It's pretty apparent that he was trying for plausible deniability by not signing it, does the fact he didn't sign it with either name invalidate it?

who will sell our nations secrets to the highest bidder and THAT is why this story is so important?

Of course not, but humiliating this piece of shit is still worth it.

She sold her silence for 130K a month before the election. Pretty good bargain for Trump.

Take the money just before and election, then fight it for a book deal at a later date.

This is all about publicity. She's being paid record amounts for her strip shows and such. She NEVER talks about Trump.

I don't know why she's appearing on 60 Minutes, since she can't talk about Trump. What else is there to talk about? Or IS she going to break the agreement? Since she'd owed a ton of $$$ if she broke the agreement, I'm guessing she's appearing with her lawyer, and every time they ask her about Trump, the attorney will speak up and not let her answer? We'll see.

Seems the agreement is solid and that her and her lawyer have come to that conclusion.

Ride it for all it's worth, Stormy.

It was a coup for her name to become attached to Trump's before, because he was a big shot. But when he became President, the benefits that would accrue to her increased tenfold.

She's not doing anything anything he wouldn't do.

so did Jessica Drake after she came out and joined Gloria Allred's posse of women he'd harassed.

as much as I like seeing Cohen twist in the wind, Clifford is just another low-class Grifter without an ethical center.

"New York State’s professional standards for lawyers require that they take settlement offers directly to their clients. That means Mr. Cohen is under a legal obligation to share the proposed deal with Mr. Trump, who has kept his distance from the matter since news of the contract broke in January.

If they reject the offer, they could be seen as effectively acknowledging the existence of a continuing effort to keep Ms. Clifford silent about an affair that Mr. Cohen and the president say did not happen."

Sounds to me like its all about the money. As well as a hit of fame.

If it goes as she requests, and she can hand back the $130,000, and write a book, she'd make 10x that payment.

But I always regarded being heroic as also embodying being altruistic. That you don't see any gain for yourself.

I guess you could say an inadvertent hero, in both cases.

But the word 'hero' has lost its meaning through overuse. For instance, it seems like every military person, every policeman and firefighter are deemed a 'hero' just for signing up and doing their job where they take home a paycheck. Dangerous work maybe, but so is oil rig work, or warzone journalism, high rise construction, or teaching inner city schools. All of which contribute to the security of the country in a broader sense, economically or freedom of information.
