With the political world obsessed with the rather flimsy indictment in New York of former President Donald Trump, here’s what puzzles me: Why did Trump pay off somebody to keep quiet something that was already prominently in the public domain?
The whole transaction between Trump’s lawyer and porn performer Stormy Daniels was weird. A full five years before the payoff, almost the entirety of Daniels’ tale was published online in an entertainment-focused publication called In Touch. And even then, she had been telling it openly for five years, including to Democratic consultants in 2009 during an “exploratory” tour for a putative U.S. Senate campaign.That 2009 story is rather amusing, in a wacky “only in Louisiana” way.
Anyway, after they filmed some footage at the Gold Club where Daniels got her start, they were in the next-door hotel waiting to leave for the next stop on her Senate “listening tour.” Welsh suggested that they use the time for her to try to think of contacts she had who might donate money. She started going through her phone, naming rich people in the pornography world, when she stopped and said: “Oh, [bleep]! Of course, Donald Trump: That b**tard should give me some [campaign] money.
As has been amply noted over the past five years, Daniels has offered so many details that check out factually that, combined with the regularity with which she told the story long before Trump was a candidate, it is almost impossible to believe Trump’s denials of the sexual incident.
