Dirty Donny folds - Trump seeks to move past Stormy Daniels lawsuit, says 2016 deal was never valid

[DemocratSinceBirth]

(CNN)Donald Trump on Saturday sought to move past a lawsuit from adult film star Stormy Daniels that has created legal headaches for the President for much of this year, stating in a court filing that he would not seek to enforce the infamous 2016 settlement agreement between Daniels and Trump's former attorney, Michael Cohen.

The so-called hush agreement, forged between Daniels and Cohen on behalf of his shell company Essential Consultants in the weeks leading up to the 2016 election, included a $130,000 payment to the actress in exchange for her silence about an alleged affair with Trump. Earlier this year, Daniels sued Trump, saying the secret agreement should be void since Trump himself never signed it. Trump on Saturday made clear that Daniels was right -- he was never party to the deal.Trump's attorney, Charles Harder, said in Saturday's court filing that Trump would not contest Daniels' "assertion that the Settlement Agreement was never formed, or in the alternative, should be rescinded."

1. There are either massive contradictions or it's seriously

Unbelievable. Cohen has pled guilty implicating Trump, but this suggests they are working together to get out of the Stormy deal, to save Trump from discovery.

2. Harder was hired to destroy Avenatti and his client.

He quit like a dog.

3. Surprised he didn't do this quite a while ago

Once the affair was known, what more is there to fight about?

4. Clinton should have cut his losses in the Paula Jones case.

5. Jones was seeking money.

Clinton would have had to cough up money *and* Jones would have had to agree to take it.

My suspicion was always that republican operatives were paying her *not* to settle.


Stormy just wanted out of the contract. All Donnie needed to do was say ok.

6. Clinton could have paid and said something like our recollections of our encounter were different.

[unblock]

7. I suspect he tried and she refused.

8. Sounds Like Trump Filed Frivolous, Bad Faith Pleadings and Should Be Sanctioned by the Court
