Also looks like you are not paying attention to the evidence.

"I was a much braver person in 2016 than I was in 2011," Daniels says


Susan Necheles is focusing again on the "threats" faced by Stormy Daniels.

"You had been told 'Don't talk anymore...'" so then you decided to sell your story, Necheles asks incredulously.

The Trump attorney briefly returned to the thedirty.com story from 2011, asking whether Daniels authorized Keith Davidson to have the story taken down.

"All I know is I wanted it down," she says, saying she never spoke to the gossip website about it.

Daniels says: "I was a much braver person in 2016 than I was in 2011."

Necheles retorts that her story was worth a lot more in 2016 than 2011.

Daniels says she didn't "put a price tag" on her story after Trump lawyer claims she wanted to make money
Trump attorney Susan Necheles is now asking Stormy Daniels on why she was going to sell her story if she was so afraid after being threatened.

Necheles implies that Daniels wasn't really scared, noting that after the supposed threat, Daniels "decided to do the opposite."

"I was terrified," Daniels says. "I just had to change my tactic because it was a new ballgame" now that Trump was a presidential candidate," she adds.

"The truth is you saw that opportunity to make money," Necheles says.

"I saw the opportunity to get the story out. I didn’t put a price tag on it," Daniels responds.

Trump attorney presses Daniels about planned news conference in 2016
Trump attorney Susan Necheles is again challenging Stormy Daniels on the time she planned a news conference in 2016 but never went through with it.

"You are looking to extort money from President Trump," Necheles asks.

"False," Daniels says, raising her voice.

"That’s what you did, right?" Necheles follows up.

"False," Daniels says again.

 

Yikes disaster witness for the state.

 

lol…your boy trump is getting spanked.

 

Let's stick to what's taking place in the trial, not what happens when he gets home.

 

"appealed"?
You make it sound like Trump's appeal motion was not only heard but given the green light to proceed.
As you were told just about everyone and their mother tries to file an appeal then comes the waiting game.

 

Stormy certainly was a hot witness (no pun intended) for the prosecution yet they did their job of showing exactly what info about Trump would have been released right before the 2016 election which is why she was paid hush money/NDA to remain silent.
Stormy's story would have come out on the heels of the "Access Hollywood" tape.

 

Say what? lol

REPORTING FROM THE NEW YORK COURTHOUSE
14 min ago


'As he left the courthouse, Donald Trump said that Tuesday was a “very big day, a very revealing day” and described it as a “disaster” for the New York district attorney. He did not mention Stormy Daniels by name. Instead, the presumptive GOP presidential nominee continued to lament that he is not on the campaign trail. “I should be out campaigning right now,” he said.'

'That’s not fair': Daniels grows frustrated with Trump lawyer's questions


Alex Seitz-Wald and Jillian Frankel
Under aggressive cross-examination, Daniels appeared frustrated and pushed back on questions that she suggested made no sense or were misleading.

"I don’t know what this is about. Is this about sex, is this about being threatened? You want me to comment on something and I don’t know what it is and that’s not fair," she said.

She was being pressed on the details of communications that did not involve her related to her hush money payment, but Daniels said she couldn't speak for other people and was confused: "I don’t want to confirm or deny something when I don’t know what they’re talking about."

Daniels says: "I was pushing. I wanted to tell my story"
Before the judge cut her off, attorney Susan Necheles asked Stormy Daniels whether the text messages between her then-agent Gina Rodriguez and Dylan Howard of the National Enquirer showed that she was trying to sell her story.

"I was pushing, I wanted to tell my story, yes," Daniels says.

 

Oh,my.



MOMENT OF 'TRUTH'
STORMY TAKES STAND
HUMILIATION OF THE DON
SHE SPANKED HIM!
HE LOOKS AWAY
MELANIA IN HIDING
CAMPAIGN PREPS FOR JAIL
MAYOR: RIKERS 'READY'

 

Very very good. Denial and basic wishful thinking. NOTHING based on the LAW or facts. or the REAL WORLD.
One could think that Trumpism is a medic al/ psychological conduction ......given how out of touch with reality it is.

 

And what about losing 2 civil cases where he defamed a woman, and then he defamed her again? Wasn’t that fairly recent?

 

LOL>.......who needs a soap opera?? This is real life soap stuff at its "best" Well, Donald did want FAME........and he sure has it now.

 

Trump has quite a legal "resume" now , doesn't he?? He just does not learn from past experiences/ behavior ........and that is a serious character flaw.

 

No wonder Trump team called for a mistrial,
A gold manicure set and some Old Spice in a leather bag in his bathroom.
Can't make that **** up. lol

I was surprised to hear how many times they spoke and met throughout the year .

 

at one point he was wearing silk pj's.

 

Izzy: Wonderful job updating the events in the Trump court room. Well done.

 

Living vicariously through Hugh Hefner...(vomit)

 

LOL... indeed. We don't need to wait for the movie to come out .

 

Thank you.
Trails are my absolute favorites.
Not having it televised stinks so getting the updates posted (for those interested) makes it easy to follow or view at another time.
It also good references .
I miss a lot too.

 

That's exactly how it works. Trump doesn't do bookkeeping. He pays people to do that.

 

He's right.
