Fox News: Michael Cohen, Trump's lawyer, says he paid porn star Stormy Daniels $130k

No.

The moral character of the person who holds the office of President matters.

If we as a nation are to the point where it does not matter to people, then this nation is lost.

Ask Larry Sinclair.

Ask Larry Sinclair.

Just because previous holders of the Presidential office were of abhorrent moral character, does not mean that men who follow into that office should get a free pass to conduct themselves in a similar manner.

Just because previous holders of the Presidential office were of abhorrent moral character, does not mean that men who follow into that office should get a free pass to conduct themselves in a similar manner.

Nor does it mean we should accept your unconfirmed allegation as proof of anything, other than an attempt to disparage an individual with inneuendo and hearsay.

And as already stated this is old. At least a decade old.
Was Trump an angel? Not by his own admission.

But then he wasn't running for the office of angel either.
And most of us have made mistakes, learned, and moved on.

Its the nature of the human being. We learn, we improve, we better ourselves.
Rehashing old dirt about others who you don't even know is not a sign of moral superiority, by the way.

And most of us have made mistakes, learned, and moved on.

One very notable exception to that.

Doesn't matter what he does as long as he puts more money in our pockets and promises to restore vast liberties lost in the last 50+ years. And puts the Clintons/Obamas in jail. Bushes, too, for good measure.

And yet, it seems we may soon hear the totally tawdry terrible tale anyway:

Stormy Daniels 'free to tell her story' after Trump lawyer statement

An adult film star who has been embroiled in allegations of an affair with President Donald Trump is free to tell her story, her manager has said.

Stormy Daniels is no longer bound by a non-disclosure contract afterMr Trump's lawyer admitted he paid her, manager Gina Rodriguez says.

Mr Trump's personal lawyer confirmed in a statement to media he privately paid Ms Daniels $130,000 (£95,000) in 2016.
Ms Rodriguez says that acknowledgement allows her client to speak freely.

"Everything is off now, and Stormy is going to tell her story,"Ms Rodriguez told the Associated Press on Wednesday.

Wasn 't this last month's mud?

Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen has done a great job of refreshing it.

Trump hires the best people.

Wonder if the IRS was told about the income she made that year ? Should be easy to find out ?

This is a hail Mary smear as things go far, far south for the coup...

This is a hail Mary smear as things go far, far south for the coup...

It is not a smear if it is the truth.

It is not a smear if it is the truth.

Not necessarily. As long as the goal is to embarrass, that's the smear itself. Sometimes it's a lie, sometimes it's real, but otherwise not actionable.
