Deals to Silence Women Had Something In Common

The New York Times looks at the deals arranged by President Trump’s personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, to silence three different women:

“One of the women, a former Playboy model named Karen McDougal, sold the rights to her story for $150,000 to American Media Inc., the publisher of The National Enquirer. The other woman, Stephanie Clifford, a pornographic film actress known as Stormy Daniels, received a payment of $130,000 that Mr. Cohen said came out of his own pocket.”

“Both of the women were represented by Keith M. Davidson. Mr. Davidson also represented the woman in the agreement Mr. Cohen struck on behalf of Mr. Broidy, further establishing a pattern of collaboration between the lawyers in striking for-pay accommodations to silence women’s allegations about powerful men.”

All three women were “represented” by the same lawyer

was supposed to HELP Cohen, Davidson giving this interview!!!?? It was awful and he looked guilty of something. Now I think we can surmise what. Of course the jury is out and I hate to jump to conclusions but it sure does look like these two were coordinating behind the scenes and not in a good way. It would be awful if Cohen recorded all this as well....yes it would be just terrible. So I wonder whats on them there tapes huh?
