There's that troublesome mention of "paternity" in the NDA she signed. Why would such a thing be in such a document? Was there a pregnancy from that "unprotected sex" and did an abortion ensue. Did Trump pay for that procedure due to a paternity issue?
Now, if that were the case, and it could be proven, how would Trump's Christian Right supporters feel about him paying for an abortion? Now, I wouldn't be surprised if he had paid for any number of them, but if there's evidence in this particular case, it might not look so good for Trump, perhaps.
Paternity. Stormy's not supposed to talk about any paternity issues? Why is that in the NDA? Hmm....?

(62,444 posts)In all likelihood, the form originated with Davidson, since that's his line of work.
The McDougal complaint is illuminating relative to Davidson's practice, although the allegations to the effect that Davidson colluded with Cohen are factually thin:

Wait, I thought the lawyer paid and the client sucks. Is Stormy a lawyer, too?
Ok, it was funny to me. I'll just go sit in the corner now.

(62,444 posts)Daniels' authorized spokesperson has denied there was a pregnancy. Nonetheless, you fall back to sarcasm about lawyers to suggest that he's lying, and raise suspicions about what medical procedures she may or may not have had.
Why is anyone's guess. Abortion is a legal and confidential medical procedure, and on the other side of the political fence nobody gives two hoots about whatever sexual adventures Trump engaged in.
To what end?

Is it a child when it is still subject to abortion?
DNA tests can, at the earliest, be taken at 8 weeks, but normally the 9th week or after. Paternity could not be affirmed before that.
So, is Stormy's lawyer just playing with legal semantics?

(7,394 posts)He has desperately cluing to all these NDA's for decades. Who knows what might turn up if someone came forward with proof he had paid for an abortion. There goes the evangelical vote.

(115,601 posts)was a form loaded with boilerplate drafted to cover all imaginable circumstances, including pregnancies, to be used with any number of women. Cohen probably carried in his briefcase a pre-printed bundle of them with blanks for the names and payoff amounts, which could be filled in as needed.

(146,262 posts)That's what I'm thinking. Conjecture is about all there is, really, to work with. Perhaps the idea is sufficient.

(6,907 posts)keeps making a point out of it being unprotected sex. 130,000 is too much for sex, not enough for paternity, so all signs say yes.

She handles it, but the number of dudes who claim thateh lets just call itthey are not attracted-to her, and then denounce her morals useing words the properly moralistic wouldnt use, and not seeing the irony in that is a sight to see.

(5,810 posts)Because Stormy has proof of that. The blue dress moment when Ms Daniels removes all doubt about whether tRump knew her in the acquaintance sense OR the Biblical sense.
I think things for tRump are about to get about as real as they get when all of this stuff ends up in court. As the song says...🎼 Nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide, eh, tRumpolini.
