The woman Broidy paid to keep silent about abortion keeps tweeting about NARCISSISM.

Some people are wondering why.

If anyone is "signaling" something, it's likely to be this woman.




A little more here (and for those not on Twitter):

https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1012163934198091779.html?refreshed=yes

She was promised $1.6M in hush money, to be paid out quarterly. That's more money than Stormy Daniels & Karen McDougal got in total.

So why did Briody, a freaking convicted felon, go thru Cohen to hide this from the public? Why would anyone care he impregnated a playboy model?

Most of them have had their heads up his ass since at least the summer of 2015.

Mon Jul 2, 2018, 04:49 PM
Jul 2018

Avenatti has been strongly hinting , without outright alleging that Broidy was providing cover to Trump because the only clients Cohen's attorneys claimed for purposes of privilege to limit evidence were Hannity and Trump. Avenatti has said he is trying not to "get ahead of his skis" and waiting for facts to be revealed and for other women besides Stormy to come forward when they are ready.

So she might be talking about Broidy.

But as one psych professor said, from now on, he won't bother to define "narcissist" for his students-- he'll just play a montage of Trump speech highlights and tweets. So probably the young lady is using that term knowing we'll all assume it's Trump.

So it makes sense she'd use "narcissist" as a synonym for Trump.

Dunno if that was the case or not, but suspect he was married at the time.

I dunno the answer ... but there are possible ones.

I still think it was really Dump's kid though, to be clear ... seems the most logical

Leaked Emails Appear To Show A Top Trump Fundraiser Abusing His Power

Emails and documents an anonymous group leaked to HuffPost this week appear to show a Los Angeles lawyer asking for more than $80 million to scuttle a Department of Justice investigation into a multibillion-dollar scandal involving Van Gogh paintings, the movie “The Wolf of Wall Street,” the prime minister of Malaysia — and the lawyer’s husband, a Republican National Committee deputy finance chair Elliott Broidy, trying to use his influence with the Trump administration to help.

Broidy and his wife, attorney Robin Rosenzweig, deny any wrongdoing.

Jul 2018

When the story started seeping out, Broidy immediately "admitted" that it was referring to him.
Now if keeping this secret was so important to him, why would he be so loud right afterwards?

This happened JUST AFTER (3 days!) Broidy paid $200K to that Keith Davidson to arrange a payoff to Ms. McD on behalf of "David Dennison", previously the anonymizer for one Mr. D Trump.

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/05/more-evidence-that-broidy-was-covering-for-trump-in-affair.html

Those consulting contracts, according to Broidy’s own correspondence, were what the December 2 meeting was about. And, a few days later, Broidy got his payoff: The U.A.E. awarded his company a deal worth up to $600 million over the next five years.

And today Broidy announced that he was stopping paying the hush money, "I'm shocked, shocked!" to hear that she has spoken about this (well, actually, HE has, but ...) I suspect he's belatedly realizing he has committed fraud, perjury, and bribery, and might better stop quick.

Hayes asked about the speculation Broidy was actually Trump, but the WSJ guy said they looked at every angle and found no evidence it was anyone else but Broidy involved with the playboy model. FWIW.
