At the time they made the settlement she and her lawyer thought President Trump was going to lose. She wanted $100,000 and her lawyer was going to get a third so that’s how they settled on the number. The President Trump was campaigning 16 hours a day, why would Cohen even bother him over chump change?
It is chump change - which is why I wonder if this wasn’t the part of a series of payments. Wouldn’t they have made this NDA a long time ago - and not just before the election? It had to be in place a long time ago - or we would have heard of all this much sooner.
It just seems like too little money - why didn’t her lawyer want a million bucks?
She seems mostly successful - so why go after chump change?
