Stormy Daniels is smarter than a highly-paid Trump lawyer.

Stephanie Clifford never had a diamond-crusted silver spoon in her mouth like Trump had. She survived because she had a good brain to serve her. She might not always have made the right choices in her life, and she might not have had much choice at the time but she's always had to solve her own problems, grit her teeth and carry on. Trump, cuddled from birth, always relying on others to extricate him from trouble, had no chance to outwit her on a one-to-one basis.

TheRkrieg, Yes, I agree. But you have to admit, it isn't hard to outsmart THESE attorneys. Because The Orange T--- has committed so many offenses (and allegedly refused to pay them) he has run through and used up all the best lawyers you would expect a man of his wealth (?) and status to have defending him. Agent Orange is poison. Very bad things happen to people who align themselves with him, and that includes lawyers. Everyone is expendable to a malignant narcissist. It is horrifying that his millions of loyalists will not see this, and want to inflict him on all of America, in their blind belief that he will never hurt them. Of course he will. His ilk always do.

If Old Donald took the stand in order to respond to Stormy, the prosecution would have him for lunch, because if he attempted to refute Stormy’s testimony, every word he said would incriminate him so badly, that any vague hope of ‘reasonable doubt’ in the minds of the jury would be pretty much gone.

That reasonable doubt might be the only thing that saves Trump from a jail sentence in at least one of these cases, but its looking less and less likely, these prosecutors have really nailed him to the wall so far.
