RUSH: John Solomon, Alison Spann had at TheHill.com: “A well-known women’s rights lawyer” Lisa Bloom, the daughter of Gloria Allred “sought to arrange compensation from donors and tabloid media outlets for women who made or considered making sexual misconduct allegations against Donald Trump during the final months of the 2016 presidential race, according to documents and interviews.”
Now, let’s be clear what this story says. The story says that Lisa Bloom “sought to arrange … for women who” would come forward and accuse Trump of sexual harassment, to be paid by either tabloid media or donors, in order to get them to come forward. She offered “to sell alleged victims’ stories to TV outlets in return for a commission for herself, arranging a donor to pay off one Trump accuser’s mortgage and attempting to secure a six-figure payment for another woman who ultimately declined to come forward after being offered as much as $750,000…”
Now, wait. This story does not say the women were lying. It doesn’t go that far. The story makes it seem as though these women were women who had legitimate, alleged complaints, and Lisa Bloom was finding ’em and, to get ’em to come forward, was offering money. The payment of a mortgage, 750 grand. The money would come from donors, presumably Democrat donors, and tabloid media would pay for it. Now, as I say, the story does not allege that the women were making it up.
But with this story, how far away from that are we? With this story — with an anti-Trump female lawyer offering to pay women to come forward with stories about being harassed or abused by Trump — how far are we away from somebody offering women to make up such stories and be paid for it? Seems to me we’re not far from that if we at least know that this happened.
“This woman and her AWFUL Mother need to see the inside of a prison cell!”
Um no.
The two of them need to see what six feet of dirt looks like.
Of course it does..because I live in LA Im VERY aware of those two stooges..they are the dirtiest and nastiest players in the game and they know how to play the game VERY VERY well..they have the media on their side so they could care less about anything else..its ALL about the far left agenda
For 750 grand I expect they’ll find a few greedy liars eilling to gamble
So, not sure if this has been brought up before, but in theory, the recipient would need to claimthe forgiveness of debt or other consideration that exceeds $14k per year, per “donor” as income. I’m guessing that was a non-starter, but opens the recipient up to tax dodging status, no? Tax Attorney’s?
Well, her mother, Gloria Allred, did in Judge Roy Moore.
Where were the skeptics then?
If this isn’t California, or Oregon, or a few other blue states, this gal might lose her license to practice law.
barratry
n. creating legal business by stirring up disputes and quarrels, generally for the benefit of the lawyer who sees fees in the matter. Barratry is illegal in all states and subject to criminal punishment and/or discipline by the state bar, but there must be a showing that the resulting lawsuit was totally groundless. There is a lot of border-line barratry in which attorneys, in the name of being tough or protecting the client, fail to seek avenues for settlement of disputes or will not tell the client he/she has no legitimate claim.
I can live with that, too.
But it’s a lot more fun to strip them of their ill-gotten gains and bring them down a few dozen notches!
That doesn’t sound shady or criminal at all. /s
Agreed.
We knew that. dems are always looking for whores who will take money to accuse a Republican of something.
