I did touch on the fact that this story is juicy and people love gossip. I mean, just look at the fact that the National Enquirer is still in business.

What I then said was that, with Stormy Daniels, the real story revolves around the NDA and not her being a porn star. Notice the qualifier I tagged on? I can't help what people like to hear, and even provided my frustration about the fascination of the dirty details.

I like how you try to minimize the potential campaign finance violation due to the size of the violation. Committing a crime is still committing a crime. And that story is NO fabrication. Cohen has admitted that he paid the $130,000 (https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/13/politics/...dex.html).


And based on the type of language Cohen has used when making threats in the past, against people who may speak out against Trump, I wouldn't doubt the Daniels story.

I think you are stretching it here.

Quote:Especially since it was from 2011 and Trump was mulling a run for president in 2012. Here is Cohen apologizing for a threat he made to a reporter in 2015: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics...-1.2306290

Here is what he said:

Quote:“You write a story that has Mr. Trump’s name in it, with the word ‘rape,’ and I’m going to mess your life up,” an enraged Cohen told The Daily Beast

followed by

Quote:“Tread very f---ing lightly, because what I’m going to do to you is going to be f---ing disgusting,” he menaced.

You *do* realize he is an attorney, right? To be blunt, I have been in rooms where scores of attorneys have said this and it's equivalent.

You have an absolute right to read physical threat into it, but all I see here is blustering legal action.

But to stretch that into nothing but an unambiguous physical threat is really kind of a serious stretch here, Lad. So now if someone makes a threat of doing something in the legal system one should take that as proof positive of a physical threat? Give me a fing break, Lad. Sorry this one is so paper thin it is laughable. I don't know where you got this 'source' that this is proof of past physical threats, but given the actual language and the fact that Cohen is known an 'in the fing streets brawler' of an attorney, it truly is a crappy one. Perhaps you need to forward my last sentence on describing Cohen as a 'brawler' as further proof of physical violence, eh?
