I thought the PP was in the Moscow Hotel ... or is that PP11?

*LOL*

“He needs to get out of the litigation. It should never have started. I mean, literally, they made every wrong move they could make. It’s like a student who does worse than random selection on multiple choice answers — it’s almost a skill.”

“What’s going to happen from this point on, the denial of (Trump’s) knowledge is going to get Michael Cohen into what is already serious trouble with the New York Bar. But they now have to deal with the fact that a lawyer gave $130,000 to a porn star without ever getting the money back. The Justice Department has already said that can be a criminal matter. If Bob Mueller pulls the president in, as he can, to question him about it, you now have an existential threat to the administration.”

FWIW.

It's an example of conservatives wanting their cakes and eating them too -- what they want is to be able to say one thing and do the opposite all day long, every day, while continuing to be praised for what they say and having the what they do part completely ignored. Well, that, and, when what they do creates a problem, they want Dems in general or Obama or Hillary or Nancy, specifically, to be blamed.

I could go on. ;)

Great article, CW! It’s odd that Trump’s attorney can broker an agreement that binds his client to specific actions without his client’s knowledge. That’s typically frowned upon by the courts.

Exactly right. If DD didn't know anything about PP's NDA agreement as his lawyer and his lawyer's lawyer have each now unequivocally stated multiple times, there is no way that DD could have voluntarily undertaken to enter into an agreement for which he had zero knowledge. Oops.

Additionally, DD's lawyer then invoked the mandatory arbitration clause in the NDA and obtained a "Temporary Restraining Order" from an arbitrator which states that PP is precluded from "disclosing or inducing or actively inspiring anyone to disclose" any of the "Confidential Information" as defined in the Settlement Agreement, as well as from "actively inspiring anyone to disclose the fact of the commencement or pendency of this Arbitration and any details relating thereto."

So this turn of events presents many problems, among them being:

* Temporary Restraining Order? Hello! Since when does a private arbitrator have the right to restrain a United States citizen from doing anything?

* This TRO amounts to an order for a US citizen to lie issued on behalf of the President of the United States of America... you know... that guy who raised his right hand and swore to uphold the Constitution.

I don't see any way whatsoever that this plays out well for DD or DD's lawyer, and now they've forced it into federal court where they've basically assured their own misfortune, and this is the least of their worries since Gates and Flynn are singing and DD's other lawyer... or should I say ex-lawyer... floated the idea of issuing pardons to Flynn and Manafort, again all supposedly without any knowledge whatsoever of DD. *shakes head*

So here we already have Peggy Peterson ("PP1") and the Playboy Playmate ("PP2") each trying to nullify NDA agreements that were apparently flowing out of Trump Tower ("TT") like water. Meanwhile, PP1's lawyer recently stated that he has been contacted by 8 other potential plaintiffs ("PP3" through "PP10") with similar issues.

I could go on. ;)

Trump knows full well if the cat in the box is alive or dead. Therefore, the problem isn't quantum, it's bunkum. You solve a bunkum problem just as you would the quantum problem, you open the box and look inside. In bunkum mechanics, looking in the box causes a bad legal or logical case to collapse. Trump does not want the box opened. Hmmm.

It would surprise me if anybody thought that the dark and Stormy night didn't happen - even if they will swear on a bible that the actually believe Trump was pure as driven snow.

When we live in a world when a large part of our population are becoming experts in dealing with cognitive dissonance, Dali and Dodgson are their prophets (which would probably sadden both of them).
