That's the problem....this appears to be nothing more than a blackmail attempt.

No matter....it's all free advertising. Stormy says she's doing really well and thanks President Trump.

IMO, Stormy got a better offer than the $130K she was paid for the NDA. Supposedly, she’s offered to give the money back if she can get out of the NDA. What this means is she has a MUCH better offer from someone else ..... Soros? Rich Democrat? Rich Never Trumper? Who knows. She is also being used to try to separate Trump from Evangelical support .... so far, it doesn’t seem to be working.

Good article (previously posted on FR):
This Stormy Too Shall Pass: Why Conservatives Just Don’t Care About Miss Daniels

The money quotes:

Voters long ago discounted whatever is going on in Trump’s marriages. He is like many men in the lives of ordinary people: the twice divorced brash real estate developer with lots of money whom they’re glad to see at the Church fundraiser even if they do not see him in the pews.

There is a basic morality to Trump’s politics. He may be unfaithful in other relationships, but in dealings with his supporters he has been heroically true. He sticks to his promises under attacks that men with greater reputations for virtue have fled.

The Missouri governor was just indicted on a felony charge of invasion of privacy for taking a picture of his mistress while she was nude.

The case may not go anywhere, but putting out pictures like this may bring more trouble than they think.

Kinda like Franklin, a womanizing scoundrel he was, but we wouldn't be what we are without him...

Who cares?

Trump: “I cheated on my wife with a skanky porn star years ago. I’m the man!”

Bill Clinton: “Whatevs... Call me when you cheat on your wife by banging a 21 year old intern in the oval office... rookie.”

Looks like the swamp raised 25mil+ for a photo. Shouldn’t they be saving that money for their lawyers?

I don’t care what President Trump did, if he did, over a decade ago with a 30 something year old woman. It’s irrelivant. We did not elect President Trump to be a goody tooshoe

The Leftists who defended President Clinton having sex in the Oval Office with a very young intern are 100% certifified hypocrites.

This just shows how desperate the FAKE STREAM NEWS are to hurt President Trump. This is after their Trump stole the election and is working with the Russians implosion.

Note they never asked Hillary about her sex life or about Bill Clinton and his raping women.

The MSM are cockroaches. They are absolute demonic filth! Then lowest of the low scumbags.

I think it's more than that; it's Hillary and her minions getting even for what was "done" to Bill.

Likewise for Larry Craig, Bob Livingstone, Roy Moore, Herman Cain, et. al.

"See? Republicans do it, too!"

And, of course, unlike Juanita Broaddrick, the MSM is all over this.

This photo is nothing and the only thing making it something is her allegation. At events, fund raisers, there are always photo ops with celebrities, politicians, etc. I bet wherever they were there are dozens more photos with different people. In fact, there are thousands of photos he has taken with people through the years.

I was trapped last week in a car with a wild, raging, insane female liberal. Her visceral hatred towards Trump was creepy. I am confident that if she had a photo op of herself and DJT from years ago, she would be claiming she was sexually assaulted by him.

Bingo, they pushed files onto Cheryl Atkinson’s hard drive and tried to make her a criminal. Digital reality is not digital reality anymore IMHO. DNA would be....

The woman is an aging washed up porn star. She is looking for a meal ticket.

Unless this bimbo was a Russian spy, who cares what Donald Trump did with her as a civilian and at a time when he did not have political aspirations?
If she was a Russian spy, then she needs a suite at Gitmo.

She is in California and just Publicly Threatened President Trump with “Revenge Porn”, Where is the California Attorney General and why wasn’t she and her Lawyer immediately Arrested??

What is “Revenge Porn”?

Revenge porn becomes an issue when a sexual relationship ends on a bad note, and one party seeks revenge, money or simply entertainment at the expense of the victims privacy, as long as the required elements of the crime are present.

It is a form of ‘non-consensual pornography’, and the images are usually shared online. Since 2013, California has specifically outlawed “revenge porn” in Penal Code Section 647(J)(4):

In California, it is a crime to post publicly or otherwise electronically distribute a digital image of another identifiable person’s “intimate body parts”, or an image of the person depicted engaged in an act of sexual intercourse, sodomy, oral copulation, sexual penetration, or an image of masturbation by the person in order to “harass, cause fear in, or lead to injury of that person”.

Required Elements of PC 647(J)(4)

There is a violation of California’s revenge porn statute if:

A person has possession of a sexual image of another person;
He or she intentionally distributes the image;
There was an understanding that the image would be private;
The perpetrator knew that distribution would cause serious emotional distress; and
The victim actually suffers serious emotional distress.

The law applies when the distribution would likely incite or produce “harassment” by a third party.

“harassment” means a knowing and willful course of conduct directed at a specific person that any reasonable person would consider seriously tormenting, terrorizing, annoying or alarming to the person, and that serves no other legitimate purpose.

Prosecuting “Revenge Porn”

To prove this crime, the criminal prosecutor must show that the defendant:

took pictures or videos of another person’s intimate body parts, with the mutual understanding that such images will be kept confidential; AND
distributes such images, where the victim is identifiable; AND
has the intent to cause serious emotional distress to the victim; AND
the victim actually suffers emotional distress.

Intent can be hard to prove in the criminal courts, and the prosecution bears the burden of proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

A good criminal defense attorney will find several good arguments to mitigate or eliminate the element of intent.

Yeah, I guess I believe the story I just don’t know how much people care about it. Personally, I voted for Trump because of immigration. If I wanted squeaky clean family values, I would have gone for Ted Cruz.
