Is it my imagination or are things SPEEDING UP?


Just for fun, here's a more detailed piece about the doorman's story.

"Mr. Sajudin has been unable to discuss the circumstances regarding his deal with American Media Inc. and the story that he sold to them, due to a significant financial penalty," Held told CNN. "Just recently, AMI released Mr. Sajudin from the terms of his agreement and he is now able to speak about his personal experience with them, as well as his story, which is now known to be one of the 'catch and kill' pieces. Mr. Sajudin hopes the truth will come out in the very near future."

In April, Sajudin told CNN he claims to have knowledge of a relationship Trump had with his former housekeeper that resulted in a child.

At the time, AMI called Sajudin's story "not credible" and denied any connection between the story and Trump and his then-personal attorney Michael Cohen.

4. Why would AMI release the doorman from his deal?

Would Mueller have been able to make the termination of all such deals a condition of Pecker's immunity?

5. Maybe because the million dollar penalty was never going to hold up in court,

and that fact came out related to Stormy Daniels? But it was that much worse in this case, where the guy was only paid $30K.
