A few days ago, porn star Stormy Daniels lost
her appeal in her failed defamation suit against Donald Trump, she now
owes over $300,000 in legal fees to President Trump.
"I will go to jail before I pay a penny," a
defiant Daniels tweeted after the ruling.
Daniels also posted a lengthy
statement on Twitter where she claimed Trump had won the case “on a
technicality” because her former lawyer, Michael Avenatti, failed to file a
notice of appeal in her defamation suit in time.
Avenatti himself was
convicted in Manhattan federal court last month for defrauding Daniels
out of money she was owed in a book deal to write about her experience with
Trump.
A bit about the case.
In 2018, it
was reported that Trump's personal lawyer, Michael Cohen had paid
Daniels $130,000 as part of a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) about
an affair she alleged with Trump in 2006. The payment was made before the 2016
Presidential elections.
So why must we care about a porn star and her sleazy lawyer
attempting some easy publicity and money?
The first reason is that was among the many scandals invented
by Democrats and their propaganda wing i.e., the mainstream media to overturn
the results of the 2016 elections.
They attempted to make this payment into a campaign finance
law violation either because the payment was not duly disclosed as a campaign
contribution or because campaign funds may have been used towards the payment.
A frenzy included ‘expert’ claims of Trump being forced out of
the White House and even facing imprisonment for violating campaign finance laws.
The Federal Election Commission launched a probe into the
matter and had found
nothing incriminating. FBI raided Cohen’s apartment, hotel room, and office
collecting records and electronic devices. Some of those materials were made
public with redacted portions.
This was just like the Russian Collusion fabrication that
caused a probe, albeit this was on a smaller scale. The fact that nothing against
Trump was discovered during the Cohen raids proves he must have a clean record.
The second reason that this is important is this narrative
that the Democrats were trying to push.
They wanted to project Trump as a sleazy individual who has casual
sex with prostitutes. This was in continuation of the golden
showers fabrication, where it was claimed Trump paid prostitutes to urinate
on a bed because the Obamas had previously slept in it.
The Democrats are the last people to lecture anybody about
morality.
A look at their history shows that Democrats since the days of
President Kennedy to Andrew Cuomo in recent times have been accused of
philandering and sexual impropriety.
Bill Clinton as President exploited a young intern, Monica
Lewinsky. What made it worse is when the affair became public and Lewinsky was
maligned and shamed, the Clintons participated in this disgraceful character
assassination campaign. Till this day there has been no apology from the
Clintons. A look at the Me-Too scandal shows that most of the perpetrators from
Harvey Weinstein to Louis CK were liberal Democrats.
It wasn’t just about harmless philandering, Democrats such as former
New York's former attorney general Eric
Schneiderman, Weinstein, and even Joe Biden were accused
of sexual assault.
Democrats are the last group to lecture anyone about morality.
But the self-righteous seldom see their own follies or double
standards.
The media ran with the Stormy Daniels story, with the likes of
Anderson Cooper and 60 minutes doing creepy probing interviews.
Stormy Daniels made many appearances on TV including a
cringe-inducing sketch with Alec Baldwin as Trump.
The third reason this is important is the Democrats had
sinister motives behind this exercise that was beyond Trump.
In digging details about Trump’s personal life, the Democrat
Washington establishment is sending a message to any other individual such as
Trump who was looking to challenge their monopoly by joining the MAGA movement.
The message was “Don’t you dare or you will be the recipient of
similar treatment’
Think of the number of able people who want to serve their
country by entering politics but are deterred because they do not want to
subject themselves and their loved ones to these ordeals where their past
indiscretions are made public.
These could have been able lawmakers, anti-corruption
crusaders, administrators, or innovators, but they stay away to avoid public
humiliation and keep the dignity intact.
What a loss this is.
What about Trump’s life before he entered politics.
He was a hugely successful real estate mogul; he was a popular
reality star and so much more. He was welcomed in show biz parties and elites
all over the US and beyond. He had the brand value, glamour, and popularity of
a movie superstar.
What has happened now?
The name Trump causes acute palpitations among the ‘elites’ in
Washington, Hollywood, and upper-crust social circles who once adored him.
Trump is the only politician perhaps to suffer financially and
socially after his stint in politics. Most politicians use their power to
enrich themselves and climb up the social ladder.
So is Daniels the perpetrator or was she a victim of Avenatti?
Daniels had received $130,000 from Trump for her silence,
which she should have maintained. She may have been exploited by Avenatti but
she too is an exploiter overcome by avarice for more.
This was a time when the powers that be were using every
measure possible against Trump. Daniels thought she could enrich herself and
receive publicity by being part of the anti-Trump insanity.
Now that she is in trouble, the Democrats in Washington, the
media, and showbiz, who once used her, will not even express a perfunctory word
of sympathy or offer to help her financially.
In fact, the mainstream media barely covered this story,
mostly because it implicates them.
Despite being exposed, Daniels continues to claim victimhood
and is even trying to project herself as a feminist standing up for all women.
If this was a mistake, Daniels could have been spared, but it
wasn’t, she was a charlatan who deserves to be punished to send a clear message
to other such aspiring hustlers.
However Stormy Daniels isn't the only one, what about all
those in the media and in Democrats in Washington who concocted various other anti-Trump
fabrications?
They were trying to force Trump out of office hence undoing
the results of the 2016 Presidential elections, they knew it was unlikely
to work.
Hence, they resorted to influencing voters with a barrage of
anti-Trump fabrications such as the Russian Collusion and Stormy Daniels news
stories. This can be hence regarded as among the many measures applied to rig the 2020 Presidential elections.
President Trump suing Hillary Clinton for fabricating the
Russian Collusion narrative is a step in the right direction. Hopefully, he
will sue various Democrat propagandists as well.
The perpetrators deserve to be severely punished for altering
the course of democracy.
