Rudy Giuliani was on Hannity last night, and let’s just say, he let a lot of things out of the bag.
Yiiiiiiiiikes. So, Trump reimbursed Cohen the $130k, according to Giuliani. And for all kinds of reasons, it’s entirely possible that’s a big fat no-no.
I’ve been waiting this morning to see what Trump would say about the interview, and early this morning, he delivered. BEHOLD:
Mr. Cohen, an attorney, received a monthly retainer, not from the campaign and having nothing to do with the campaign, from which he entered into, through reimbursement, a private contract between two parties, known as a non-disclosure agreement, or NDA. These agreements are…..

…despite already having signed a detailed letter admitting that there was no affair. Prior to its violation by Ms. Clifford and her attorney, this was a private agreement. Money from the campaign, or campaign contributions, played no roll in this transaction.

So, this is kinda what I assumed had happened from the get-go. Trump slept with Stormy over a decade ago. He paid for her silence. She broke her silence anyway. And here we are.
I still don’t give a crap. I’m still delighted with his job performance as president. I’m sick and tired of this used up porn star and her sleazeball lawyer. Trump has obviously brought this distraction onto himself, and he’s paying the price. Big league, even.
But personally? I’m over it. Just let the dude lead.
