National Enquirer cover story as a warning shot from a publication that has long been cozy with Trump

Fox and Friends and the National Enquirer on side with the stable genius getting his trash on tap.

No wonder Trump’s lavatorial tweets are what they are.

Absolute circus.

So the President of the United States had an affair with a Porn Star paid her $130,000. During the time his 3rd wife was having a baby. Denied it said its not true, ie lied about it.

Now his lawyer confirms the payment. And no impeachment? Yet.

"White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said she first learned that Trump had repaid the hush money from Giuliani's interview on Fox News Channel's "Hannity."

If she has any dignity -- she probably doesn't -- she should resign and keep what's left of her reputation intact. She has lied about this repeatedly, and indignantly, to the world. Because the lies were based on others' lies is beside the point.

I simply would not work for a liar who put me in this position, has crippled my (her) limited reputation and stands to do far more damage to it going forward.

But, like Kelly, these people cling to their posts, dooming themselves to be sordid footnotes in American history.

I admire Huckabee to have the mental strength, calmness and poise to deal with these idiot liberal bottom feeders in the WH press room and TV, no one else except Fleischer or Snow could handle these low lives like they do, Kudos to them.

I simply would not work for a liar who put me in this position, has crippled my (her) limited reputation and stands to do far more damage to it going forward.

Nonesense, the woman has more class than most people I know because I don’t think the average human could deal with that many liberal children a day, she handles it all in perfect stride and when she has enough, she just shuts it down so fast. Lol

But, like Kelly, these people cling to their posts, dooming themselves to be sordid footnotes in American history.

Kelly? Oh, that liberal gossip lie again like with Dr. Jackson? The left are trying so hard to ruin these people. You have an idiot congressman that ruined a life of a good doctor that had one of the highest accreditation’s out there and his entire reputation and life have been besmirched by one stupid politician that we know know for a fact made everything up, for no reason other than out of spite. I hope when he goes for reelection this year that the President and the GOP ruin his reputation as harshly as they did Jacskon’

It’s a civil matter. The press secretary, the “west Wing” and the”White House” are uninvolved in it so why would they know?

I have realized that this whole Trump presidency and everything surrounding it is just a really, really bad reality TV show that has to continually lower the bar to get any sort of ratings....

Oh like the fake story today that Cohen was wiretapped and recorded? And stormy lawyer saying it was a “fact” that the Fbi overheard Cohen talking about destroying documents? Who were the named sources for this?

Now his lawyer confirms the payment. And no impeachment? Yet.

Impeachment is one thing, hell even Clinton got impeached. Getting him out of office is another story.

But yesterday, CNN Brian Stelter denied US citizens will be released in North Korea because there are no “named sources”. Which his “news” organization has never had.

No one cares about this as much as liberals think they do. Just gives liberal media something to talk about to distract from all the good things happening.

Speaking to reporters on Air Force One several weeks ago, Trump said he did not know about the payment or where the money came from. In a phone interview with "Fox and Friends" last week, however, he appeared to muddy the waters, saying that Cohen represented him in the "crazy Stormy Daniels deal."

Sanders said Thursday that Trump "eventually learned" about the payment, but she did not offer details.

Sanders and her colleagues must be making overtime in their situation room :)

The Leader of the Free World, enjoy :

What the salivating liberals don’t get is, even if Trump were to get impeached which is unlikely, then what? Worked out so well for Clinton, this could also backfire on the Dems, this can also rally his base or even people that think Mueller and his happy merry bunch of witch hunters went too far. Either way, Trump’s lawyers will advise him and make sure Meuller doesn’t get greedier than he already is. The GOP are in good position for the Senate, so he’ll be ok.

Twitter describes it all:

“Avenatti's been having regular lunches with @PreetBharara who's been getting info from SDNY.

They had to walk it back because it's a high crime for leaking that info. **The wiretaps weren't legally obtained and info in them can't be legally used.”

-6 ( +0 / -6 )

So that’s how “wiretaps” where they heard everything became “monitoring” wvere they didn’t hear a thing and just captured phone logs.

Doesnt mean they won’t try to use any information they illegally got. Will just lie and say an unnamed Russian source told them about it.

-7 ( +0 / -7 )

No I am not. It’s the personal business of our President and is unnecessary to be made public. It’s unrelated to his job, didn’t happen at “work”, or even in this decade. the person accepted money to be quiet, so that should be the end.

as far as lying, each person has rheir own moral code about that. comey said good people can lie, right? So all you liberals have never lied huh?

-8 ( +1 / -9 )

You don’t need “all” the facts. You need the facts related to the crime that someone is being accused of.

As there is no crime in this case, liberals feel you are entitled to spy on everyone and know everything so that you can “find” a crime for each person.

-10 ( +0 / -10 )

are you having discussions with your children and grandchildren about how it's wrong to commit adultery with a porn star while the wife is at home pregnant and how wrong it is to lie.

They’re not at that age to understand that garbage, but I do teach them and they are aware that liberals have a difficult time listening, telling the truth and will do anything to hurt you if you don’t play by their rules. I tell them to think for themselves and not to follow the liberal collective identity politics group. That’s what it teach them. I also tell them to pay NO attention to someone that wants to talk about something you did a long, long time ago. If that happens, you have my permission to laugh in their faces.

So a group of republicans have sent a nomination for Trump to the Nobel. The Nobel is having its own sex scandal crisis and the 2018 awards could be cancelled.

I’ve noticed liberals are obsessed with taxes, race and sex and pretty much all other news......who cares, if we can’t get ratings one way, we should try another.

weird idea that there should be some kind of limit to discovering all the facts.

not sure how this is a big deal.  Between him and the missus and the AV "star".  A classy bunch, sure, but nothing illegal as far as I can tell.   Meanwhile his supposedly insane policy agenda continues to bear fruit.  Despite the doom and gloom warnings of all of the experts.

-6 ( +0 / -6 )

The bottom line is this. The civil case might cost trump some money but only if the NDA is found invalid.

For the Mueller case, let him subpoena then ignore it. Then the Supreme Court can teach mueller that he is a subordinate employee in the executive branch. An executive branch whose head is the president per the Constitution.

Mueller can’t make Trump testify just to let Dems use that for impeachment hearings.

Never been a sitting president forced to testify under subpoena in a criminal case for this exact reason. Can’t be indicted while in office, so see you in 2025.

But you support a president who referenced a impossibly crackpot conspiracy theory from the National Enquirer to hurt his opponent? A president who tweeted an unflattering photo of his opponent’s wife? A president who asked his supporters to check out a fictional sex tape in an attempt to discredit a woman? A president from the birther movement? A president who lied about paying off a porn star? Shall I go on?

Maybe it’s not my place, but I think educating people to beware of these types, from any political viewpoint, is the best way to go.

It is a very non-partisan thing to do.

When is Trump finally going to tell the truth and admit that he slept with Ms Daniels? If he continues to spout nonsense about paying her to avoid her becoming a distraction, or whatever claptrap he last came out with, it will only make him more of a laughing stock. What a sleaze.

Yes and yes, but you really didn’t say anything that as a whole other politicians don’t say. Find something that threatens the safety of the country and get back to me. Porn stars don’t apply.

We just have different ways of bringing up kids. I think my way is the best.

Meuller's final report will be based 100% on facts and gossip will not be part of it.

Hoover always said the same thing, so did Comey and McCabe. Yes, men of pure honesty and integrity.....sorry, coffee came up through my nose. Apologies.

Why can't the Trumpohiles just wait until the Special Investigation is finalized?

No one says we aren’t. I’m just happy Trump has Giuliani and and now Emmet Fllod who was Clinyon’s Impeachment lawyer, this is fantastic news. So Mueller, go on with your witch hunt.

Well knowing your age, there must be a very wide age gap between you and your children then.

Not that huge.

Hopefully you are teaching them the right living, right thinking, right actions and yes,

I do.

Trump isn't a good role model to follow.

No, I disagree, but then again, we don’t talk about his private life, it’s irrelevant, i never cared about any President’s private life as long as they can do their job as the President, I’m fine.

Wow a lot of scrolling past the 'bots scrawlings the news must be bad for Trump.

4 ( +4 / -0 )

So I wonder what the evangelicalism Mike Pence make's of Trump's adultery with a porn star?

I don’t think he cares. Only liberals care about this.....except when one of their own does it then it’s a private matter all of a sudden.

Yesterday in National Prayer Day Pence w must have thought God was testing his faith or maybe just preparing hm for a future promotion. I wonder which one.

If that were to happen then if the left think they had problems with Trump, with Pence they will have a nightmare, because unlike Trump, they would be dealing with a real career politician that can do all of this with finesse, that’s one reason why Pelosi doesn’t want to rush with impeachment proceedings because if they think Trump is bad now, Pence will be the Armageddon of nightmares which would further energize the religious right. But as we know, the left are emotionally and politically motivated, deep thought out facts don’t mean that much.

Wow a lot of scrolling past the 'bots scrawlings the news must be bad for Trump.

Gossip is now bad? The left is overly board agin. Yawn.....

Just how many liberals are there in Fukuoka, never realized you were so overrun. You must worry every time your kid goes out they'll run into one of those damn libs.

Yup.

How do you teach how to recognize a lib,

They never stop talking and believe facts only matter when it comes from the left, otherwise, shut up.

it's not like they go around wearing a star, at least not these days. I guess you just tell your kids the guys with the hoods are the good ones, and those without, well just run son, fast 'cause if they catch you they'll steal your pocket money and call it tax.

This is exactly what I was talking about. Lol

"Married millionaire and reality TV "star" sleeps with porn actress........"  And we are surprised why?  Now he is POTUS suddenly we expect hi s past to go away?   Plenty of POTUSes, sitting or prior to their appointment, have been absolute hounds with the ladies.  Never seemed to have been an issue before......

But he does very much, because it offends his good book which he prays to every single day.

I see, so now we are throwing generalizations and mocking the guy. You don’t know what Pence thinks, but you seem to know what Mueller is thinking.....huh?

Adultery and lying, lying with another women and lie are against his good book.

Japanese aren’t Christian and atheists don’t believe in....

anything, so you’re saying, it’s ok if they engage in adultry? Wow, that’s nice to know.

The Christian base must be have huge concerns about this very public sex scandal. Even Hannity is in the show so its not just those damn libs who care.

If that were true they would have never voted for Trump, the left tried that with a gang of women, it didn’t work, what the left don’t get is, we all know Trump doesn’t drink or smoke, he likes women, that’s been known for years and years, so this thing with Stormy is really a,....uhm....ok, so what. Also, Christians try not to pass judgment because they know they’re not perfect. So it’s all good.

-12 ( +0 / -12 )

Two questions.

Did Stormy pay taxes on this payment? If not, Mueller should be investigating that.

And how come Trump's not counter-suing her for breaking her ND agreement?

And one more question - why is the media so obsessed with a billionaire businessman having a one night fling with a porn actress instead of reporting on all the important stuff that Americans care about like ending the Korean War and denuking N Korea, trade deficits, trade agreements, jobs, taxes, etc.?

-11 ( +0 / -11 )

Yep Christians didn’t vote for Trump to be their minister. And none of this matters cause you can’t indict him or force him to respond to a subpoena.

Not that Mueller can even legitimately get that far with the lack of evidence he has of anything that’s a crime. If we are going to deal with all the liars as criminals now, there is a long list on the dem side to work through first.

So good luck.

There will be no psycho - christo revolution as the spiritual self-immolation has already begun.

Trumpy Bonespurs has lit the fuse and the fire is being fuelled by porn, corrupt & breakdown stories and stoked with the False Fire & Brimstone of the evangelical weirdos. I mean the secretary of state Pomeo - a clean living closest buddy of Trump has stated that categorically only through Jesus can the world be saved.

Meanwhile Stormy's riding the Storm.

Drop it already, liberals. Literally from Day One of Trump's presidency, you have been pulling all sorts of sleazy nonsense trying to derail, delegitimize, and obstruct this presidency. It's pathetic.

That’s an understatement.

It's obvious that Hillary and most of her supporters still haven't gotten over the fact that she lost the election to this man. And they have nothing to offer in the way of alternative policies and approaches to the country's and the world's problems.

If Hillary would have won, we would never have known any of the corruption from the left to the FBI, DOJand CIA. Her losing has shown how bad and corrupt the deep state is.

-11 ( +0 / -11 )

It is pretty simple, but bad people obfuscate in the manner of hypocrites... The world over. Hence the trumpettes, hillarites, et al. will never give you straight answers

To lie is wrong. Anyone who lies is an evil person. The USA's current president is a pathological liar. Not the first and likely not the last. Anyone who supports him to any degree and for any reason supports unmitigated lying by those in power. No-one should ever teach a child that this is ok. There is no a good parent on the face of this planet that should ever defend Trump's lies to their child. Anyone who says differently is selling the same scatalogical matter that is coming out of Trump's mouth to their children. It is a shame.

I don't get this Liberal hating, Republican hating. Both sides have good ideas for the USAs future. Had Obama found himself in this predicament sure as hell there would be an outcry of Biblical proportions. You have a president that is demeaning the office with behavior that is notable for its high School antics. It wasn't a one night stand but an affair. Would Linkin, Roosevelt, Washington approved of such behaviour?

Yes I think those presidents would be fine with what Trump did 12 years before he even became president. And if they weren’t who cares, he didn’t do it as President like Bill and JFK and others.

I will assume that the usual suspects are making false statements about the legality about what we now know Trump has done. They are without doubt bleating the most recent version of "Four Legs Good! Two Legs Bad!" -- which is, all this is purely a civil matter. And so Nothing-To-See-Here.

In truth, there are civil claims here, and there are crimes here. btw, the difference between the two: civil claims are brought by person (or legal entity like a town, an NGO, or a company) against another person. You lose when you are found liable; then you have to pay money, stop doing something (like playing loud music at 2 am), or start doing something (like selling that house). Crimes are brought by the state against a person. You lose when you are found guilty and can have your liberty taken from them -- that is, be thrown in the hoosegow.

Often people involved in a civil dispute commit crimes related to the civil dispute. You break up with someone, and want your stuff back. She refuses to let you into her house. That's all civil stuff. If you break into her house to get your stuff back, you're now committing crimes, such as unlawful entry, and perhaps burglary.

Here, Trump and Cohen acted ILLEGALLY by trying to hide the $130,000 hush money paid to Stormy Daniels.

First, the threshold federal crime is violation campaign finance law. Trump and Cohen intentionally kept the payoff off the public radar, because, as Guilianni just said, can you imagine the impact of a pay-off to a porn star would have on the election. The right wing noise machine will for a time pretend the timing was coincidental, but we all know it wasn't. In fact, Daniels' lawyer Michael Avenatti is making the rounds now and saying he's got the communications between Daniels' former lawyer and Cohen, and its leaves no doubt that timing was everything. In short, yeah, Trump and Cohen violated campaign finance law. Because you are not allowed to make in-kind donations in excess of $2,700 to a political campaign. Of course, Trump will argue he was just giving money to himself (which is legal). The problem here, of course, is he didn't just give money to himself. There were shell corporations, legal entities were involved, as so forth. So, ooops, Guilty.

Second, those legal entities broke bank fraud and wire transfer laws. These are much more seriously in terms of possible penalties. These are a BFD. These are anti-mob-money=laundering laws that you go to jail for a long time for breaking.

Finally, Cohen is toast. B/c he broke STATE laws as well as federal laws. And Trump has no power to pardon state laws. And which state laws did Cohen (and Trump) violate? NY and CA!

Ha! Suck on that, Republicans. States' right indeed, operating as they should.

But none of this matters to them. State's rights, laws, elections, the truth. Simple decency. Nothing matters to them other that power.

So yes, I started by saying, "make false statements" rather than "lie" b/c I don't know for sure if they know they are spreading falsehoods, but I know what they spread is factually incorrect. Ah, who am I kidding: they're l "mistakes of fact" always, always, benefit their guy and always, always, are meant to hurt those they hate.

Their nothing to see here translates to "Nothing to to hear, see!" 'Cause I ain't listening. And besides Clinton! Bengazziii!!!!! EMAAAIIIILLSSSS! LEWINSKY!!!!!!!!!

oh, before i forget: guess who Trump just hired Bill Clinton's impeachment lawer Emmet Flood.

No honor. No shame.

One night stand doesn't qualify as sexual relationships. Stormy Daniels is thinking and expecting she will make more than a million dollar out of Revelation of her sex with Trump. The sex with Stormy Daniels is nothing wrong if he had one night stand sexed with her. She has not sexual relationship with Trump other than they have single consensual sex between them. They do not see each other for sex after that encounter.

You will not say you have sexual relationship prostitute after you visited to brothel or called girl to your apartment.

Married man or single man they all wanted sex. Those who criticize Trump as unfaithful husband or immoral person should be checked their past themselves. I'm a married man, but sometimes I feel like want to have sex with difference woman. I frankly told my wife and she replied me that okay as long as I don't have an affair. The men from the US Talk Shows should check how clean their pasts are. They were cleaned until someone comes out and accuse them.

Stormy Daniels was negotiation price with journalist about the story about sex encounter with Trump before Michael Cohen paid her hush money $ 130,000. It was blackmailed and pure evil out of greed. She should be sued for breaking contract by Michael Cohen which signed the contract.

The lesson, here’s if you’re married and wealthy man and then do not mess with prostitutes because they will blackmail you one day. The Stormy story was Chess of loser camp and they are trying to discredit President Trump.

Trump was a businessman and celebrity TV personality. If you think the peoples from entertainment industry were cleaned and then you’re fooling yourself. In fact, Trump wasn’t saint or wasn’t a bad man after all.

Having an affair and trying to hid it from a our wife isn’t even a crime much less an impeachable offense. Just ask Bill Clinton and the 1990’s version of the Democrat party

Lol most of you dont anything about politics..lol impeachment good luck with that??? Was he president when he had affairs, did he lie to Congress??? People want him impeached good luck with all the wasted time and money... well my stocks are still up and it seem Korea is getting along...so lets impeach him because he was privately video taped saying immoral things and let's get rid of Jim because he supposedly had sez with a porn star....immoral as a president if he did all this while president ...but what does all that have to do with anything that's happening around the world...I would be more concern that Trump will start WW3.....who the hell cares about what porn star he did years ago....smh

"I am not a crook." -- He was a crook

"I did not have sexual relations with that women." -- He had sexual relations with her.

"There was no collusion with Russia." -- There was collusion with Russia.

Thus ends today's American history lesson.

Democrats are so crazed that Hillary lost that they have totally forgotten that having extra-marital sex isn’t an impeachable offense. Actually it wasn’t that long ago when the president for the National Organization for Women was making excuses for a man who had extra-martal sex with a young low level female employee in the work place (the White House) while he was president. You can’t make this level of hypocrisy up - it is so far fetched.

-3 ( +0 / -3 )

Democrats are so crazed that Hillary lost that they have totally forgotten that having extra-marital sex isn’t an impeachable offense. 

No, but breaking the law could be, and right now, one of the laws that could have been broken can be found under the Campaign Finance Laws statues. Currently, some legal opinions state that the payment made by Trump's then lawyer, Michael Cohen, was meant to influence the 2016 presidential election, and therefore Trump’s campaign committee violated the law by failing to report the expenditure as a campaign expense.

Now, some Trump supporters claim that since Cohen initially said that he paid Daniels out of his personal funds, there wasn't really a campaign violation; however, if that were the case, then the money should have been reported as an in-kind contribution to the campaign, which it wasn't (which even if it did, it would have been illegal because private individuals may give a political candidate no more than $2,700 per election.)

To make matters worse, Trump's latest addition to his legal team, Rudy Giuliani, said that Trump reimbursed Cohen for this matter.

“The repayments took place over a period of time, probably in 2017, probably all paid back by the end of 2017,” Giuliani told The Washington Post.

OK, so Trump can legally contribute unlimited amounts to his own campaign, but the money must be disclosed on campaign finance reports, which it wasn't. Ooops!

Now, the Federal Election Commission and Department of Justice, are investigating this matter--not "the crazed Democrats who are upset that Hillary lost the election," and let's also remember here that the FEC is comprised of a bi-partisan six-member committee.

Lastly, I'm pretty sure that you were very much OK with the FEC investigation into John Edwards, the former Democratic vice presidential and presidential candidate who was indicted in 2011 on charges of using illegal campaign donations to conceal his mistress from voters. His case involved nearly $1 million in payments from political supporters. Prosecutors in that case alleged the money represented illegal campaign contributions meant to not hurt Edwards' image as a political candidate. On the other hand, Edwards’ defense argued the money was a gift and the purpose was to conceal the affair from his wife. On an interesting note, one of the members who argued against bringing charges against Edwards in that case was Don McGahn, the current White House counsel, so please, tell us all about hypocrisy.

So of course we find that the actual campaign donations violations are really on the liberal side. She doesn’t even care, just says donates whatever amount she feels like.

Uses multiple “variations” of her name and donates at night to anyone who is anti-Trump.

https://nypost.com/2018/05/05/rosie-odonnells-campaign-donations-to-dems-went-over-legal-limit/

Rosie O’Donnell made illegally over-sized campaign donations to at least five Democratic federal candidates, according to a Post analysis of campaign filings.

The liberal comedian has regularly broken Federal Election Commission rules limiting the total any one person can give to an individual candidate at $2,700 per election. The limit applies separately to primaries, runoffs and general elections.

None of this Mueller or Stormy nonsense is sticking. Reuters poll has Trump up to 49 percent approval. Was in the 30s last month.

If anyonen on either team broke the campaign donation law, they should held responsible accordingly.

The actions of either side don’t excuse the other.

You seem to be indicating that they do.
