Stormy Sues Trump

LOL! It looks like Trump is going to get the due process he claims he wants.
Adult film star Stormy Daniels has filed a civil suit against President Trump to void a nondisclosure agreement between the two.

Stormy's Complaint

Don’t forget, she saved the dress.

I think Stormy has the keys to the kingdom.  Her non-disclosure requires her not to speak of what she knows about the paternity of Trump’s children known and unknown. Given the wording of the agreement, it seems likely that David Dennison developed a case of loose lips during his postcoital bliss and told Stormy all of his dirty little secrets.

She accepted the $130,000 and did sign an agreement not to spill the beans about Trump.  Is she leaving herself open for a legal retribution or counter lawsuit?  I hope she has good legal advice.  This could have very serious consequences for her.  Any lawyers out there?

It has been a while, but I will try my best. 

Generally, an unsigned contract can’t be enforced. Now there are all kinds of exceptions, but what you basically get into is did both parties assume there was a contract and behave like there was a contract?  Trump paid Stormy and she performed by not talking about the affair.  That would be an argument that the contract is enforceable even though it wasn't signed. 

However, when Trump’s attorney disclosed the existance of the agreement on national TV, he was no longer acting like there was a valid contract as the terms of the contract said neither party could disclose the existence of the contract. So perhaps, even if there was a valid contract at some point, Mr. Cohen may have beached it ending Stormy’s duties to keep quiet under the contract.

Furthermore, you get into a whole muck of who exactly was the other party in this contract? Trump, The LLC or Trump’s Lawyer?  Trump never signed the contract and his attorney went on national TV and said Trump wasn’t part of it. Stormy thought she was getting into a contract with Trump which leads us down the path of there wasn’t a contract because there was never a meeting of minds between the parties.  

It really is a fascinating bit of contract law with lot of outs for Stormy because of poor drafting and execution on the part of Trump’s attorney. In any event, it will be up to the court to decide if it is enforceable or not. 

The arbitration that Sanders mentioned in today’s presser was bizarre.  It was granted on an Ex parte motion which means Stormy didn’t get notice of the hearing and wasn’t able to be there to defend herself. Ex parte motions are usually reserved for cases where there is some imminent threat of bodily harm, and any order issued based upon such motions are temporary until there can be a full hearing where both parties are given the oppertunity to be present and state their case. 

Secondly, an arbitrator can’t issue an injunction by himself/herself.  I have literally never heard of an arbitrator attempting to issue an Ex Parte restraining order.  The only way an arbitrator can issue a restraining order is after the arbitration is concluded where both parties were given the opportunity to present their case and even then, the order wouldn’t be effective until it was sent to a regular state court and signed off on by a sitting judge.

The arbitration seems so shady I wouldn’t be surprised if that in and of itself sinks Trump’s whole case.

Again the whole thing is very odd as you have the President of The United States, whose duty it is to see that laws are faithfully executed arguing in a legal proceeding that an unethical/disfavored/possibly illegal contract that requires someone to be untruthful for the benefit of the President should be enforced.  I don’t think it is a winner for Trump.

She's not spilling the beans yet.  She has taken her complaint to a judge to see the proper legal way to proceed - whether that be in open court or in secret arbitration. 

Regardless she will undoubtedly get some kind of deal from the media that will pay her much more than any penalty she might incur from contract (if any).

Hearing the sordid details of Trump's unfaithful sex life is almost as gross as watching Chris Christie eat a plate of spaghetti.    I'm more interested in the legalities of the payment.    The bullshit story about Trump's lawyer paying her off out of his own pocket is a joke and another in a long line of Trump's scumbag behavior.    Im anxious to see if the judge will laugh that one out of court. 

Suddenly Liberals are all atwitter over sexual scandal.  And don't you dare say that I made a big deal of such Democrat actions.  Clinton's most sever indescretions (both Hillary and Bill) was the crushing of lives to provide cover and save their political lives.  

It is not about the sex Boiler.   It is about the illegal payout, coverup, the intimidation and the threats being issued to Ms. Daniels.

For the longest time, I couldn’t figure out why Trump continued to lie about this.  Is there anyone that is aware of this story that still believes he didn’t have sex with this porn star?  So, why not admit it and say the standard you regret it.  The story would die within a few days. 

Then as I read the agreement, I realized why they are trying to keep her quiet.  She knows a shit ton of embarrassing stuff about Trump because he blabbed to her when he was trying to woo her for that year after they first hooked up. As I mentioned, the agreement covers things like the paternity of his children including the illegitimate ones that the public doesn’t know about.  It covers Trump’s past sexual partners whom he no doubt bragged to Ms. Daniels about. 

And finally, there is an amazing tidbit in the agreement that says one of Ms. Daniel’s original claims against Trump was a bodily injury she suffered as the result the relationship. In the context of a vanilla consensual sexual relationship, the only of bodily injury one could suffer is the contraction of an STD.

Thats right! Monika Lewiinski's crushed life in the wake of her million dollar book tour were she confessed to initiating the consentual affair with Bill Clinton ....  and evangelicals were sooooo  super pissed.

Thats nothing but funny now - even more so than their crying about presidential vacation days.

PJ, ignore the horrible truth all you like.

Stormy has recorded an interview with 60 minutes and it is scheduled to air March 18.  Trump is threating to sue CBS to keep it from airing. There are no grounds for a suit against 60 Minutes, so Trump is SOL.  Boy, Donnie sure fears the world finding out about what Stormy knows. I hope all of this is for something more than trying to keep the world from finding out that Donnie has a tiny cheeto.
