"those messy details -- that is motive. That was Mr. Trump's motive to silence this woman

4. They're trying to discredit Stormy by saying story false and preclude people from eliciting details that show the story is true.

5. had to keep them from undermining her credibility. so needed to draw the sting out the spank w/ the magazine. ditto condom.

6. details essential to give the jury to evaluate her credibility. if just gave generalized account, wouldn't work. "those messy details -- that is motive. That was Mr. Trump's motive to silence this woman before she could tell her story in 2016.

You didn't attack particulars of business records. you attacked claim of sex. that gave prosecution right to defend her, including w/ details that lend credibility if jury believes them. Motion for mistrial DENIED.

while not having to do so under oath in the court. If he wants to call her a liar, he could do so, but he would be UNDER OATH in court. He wants to attack her, which intimidates other witnesses against him, while not being subject to perjury for lying under oath as he would do to refute Daniels' SWORN testimony.

Biggest coward in the nation wants to be allowed to verbally beat up the woman who testified to what he wanted hidden in 2016 but he won't do it under oath where he would face consequences for lying.

His legal team just made the prosecution's case: He would do anything to keep the public from knowing just what sort of despicable louse he is, but won't testify under oath where he would face consequences for his lies and attacks against witnesses.

Every time we think he couldn't go any lower, he does just that.

It doesn't matter whether the story she tells is true or false, not if the matter at issue is whether she was paid not to tell it. They were foolish to deny the sexual act occurred, and labored mightily, by trying to catch her in lies over details of her account, to make clear just how damaging the story she was prepared to tell would have been, and so how strong would be Trump's motive to purchase her silence.
