I think this is part of a long-range plan to find someone to make a similar allegation against the President ... then ...

I think you might be giving to much credit to the information gathering efforts by Breitbart, Bannon, et al.

It's really a much easier sting operation than what many people are considering as recent revelations and disclosures. In essence, it gets back to the basic divide in the country, and the types of people, personalities and businesses that operate in these various spheres.

The left has always controlled entertainment, media and the vices (prostitution, drugs, alcohol, pornography, etc). Actually, if one were to draw an arc illustrating each of the different audiences & markets, mass media and entertainment are simply the 'family appropriate' segment.

As we all know, one key aspect of entertainment is sex. Entertainers may or may not have talent, but in the majority of cases, they must be visually attractive. (Of course, there are exceptions, but then the exceptions prove the general rule.)

OK, sort of a long winded preface, but the bottom line is that entertainment and media has **always been** a sordid business. It is simply through its control of the media channels themselves that allowed them to deflect, deny and shape public opinion.

Now, enter Trump; the media is his/our mortal enemy. He, like anyone else with a clue, knows that the media business is exactly what is currently being revealed. It was never an issue about knowing the facts, but rather, publicizing the information. But perhaps even more importantly, even if one were to go public, the general audience would simply yawn. That means they have to be pre-primed to treat certain revelations as a movement ie the #metoo effect.

So, Trump & his allies didn't need to collect information - it already existed, in spades. Two, he didn't have to publicize it; everyone would have ignored him. Rather, Trump's great insight, the one that warrants labeling him as 3D, is his understanding of prepping the audience to go into hysterics as if they were under the influence of mass hysteria.

That's what's going on, and why the public is now ready to hear every detail and sordid story coming out. And don't expect it to end any time soon. There are probably hundreds of separate cases - I mean, we're talking about an industry whose very product is the result of this kind of behavior.

They were always vulnerable; it was simply a matter of time dependent on the right person running the reveal.
