"Porn star Stormy Daniels loses appeal in Trump case, owes former president almost $300,000."

 CNBC reports. 

In its decision Friday, the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit said it had no jurisdiction over Daniels’ appeal of the attorneys’ fees issue because she failed to file a notice of appeal within a 30-day deadline of a federal judge granting the fees to Trump....

The amount Daniels owes Trump in the case is about the same amount she was swindled out of by Michael Avenatti, her former lawyer....

Trump commented: "The lawsuit was a purely political stunt that never should have started... Now all I have to do is wait for all of the money she owes me."

It's hard to remember what this lawsuit was about, isn't it? 

Daniels sued Trump when he was president in 2018, seeking to void the nondisclosure agreement with Cohen. While Trump later agreed not to enforce the agreement, a judge in 2020 ordered him to pay Daniels more than $44,000 for her legal fees in that case.

Later in 2018, Daniels sued Trump again, claiming he defamed her when, in a Twitter post, he scoffed at a police sketch artist drawing of a man who Daniels said had threatened her in 2011 over her allegation of having had sex with Trump.

Trump called the sketch a “con job” about a “nonexistent man.”A federal judge dismissed that lawsuit later in 2018, saying Trump’s statements were protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution.

I wanted to see that police artist drawing again. I'd forgotten. I'll just link to my Google search because I see the drawing, signed "Lois," presumably the police artist, is emblazoned with "© Michael Avenatti, Esq."... and he's litigious. But he's not an "esquire" anymore. And he's in prison.

Despite the clear image of the face — which is so generically good-looking it's funny — the height is given as 5'9" to 6'. Who doesn't know the difference between a 5'9" guy and a 6' guy? I guess if you think he's 5'10 or 5'11" the police say 5'9" to 6'.

Avenatti has SO MUCH credibility! Stormy too! Rachel Maddow as well!~!!

Oh -the credibility - it ooozes.

You traitors and quislings need some good news now that Putin is bogged down facing mud season.

So does the payment come out of the slush fund controlled by the leftie operation that put her up to this or do they leave her hanging like she’s Afghanistan?

5'9" guys like Howard.

In 1000 years, when a more objective analysis of this period of history can be written (if there's anyone left to write it), future historians will look back upon the USA's glacial pace of justice and legal conflict resolution as one of the things that collapsed the country.

The system that allows bimbo hookers with a good legal team and the support of powerful parties to thrash an independent citizen at a place and time of their choosing to the cackling of millions of howard-like msm-spoonfed types is indicative of a society that has long passed through the Overton Window, outpaced by the worst impulses it was intended to curtail.

The hooker was guilty. Dems were the pimp. Society the John. And Trump gets paid.

It would be interesting to learn who bankrolled those lawsuits.

I wonder (but don't care enough to look it up) who were the 2 - 3 members of the 9th Circus who were actually willing to follow the basic law, just this once?

Or did she just have the misfortune to catch some of the very few honest judges on the court?

As an actual traitor yourself, Howard, you shoudl be careful about throwing those words around.

To repeat an earlier comment:
Howard said...
"When you repeat Kremlin propaganda over and over, you are a traitor to the free world and an enemy to the US Constitution."

"Green" arguments against Western production and use of fossil fuels / nuclear power are all Kremlin propaganda designed to increase Russia's power in the world

So, Howard, when are you going to stop being "a traitor to the free world and an enemy to the US Constitution"?

You'd have to be pretty gullible to believe any of that story, and yet there it was, saturating the airwaves for months.

Roe was exploited by the establishment, Progressive Church, Synagogue, Corporation, Clinic, etc., to normalize the wicked solution to what they purport is a hard problem (i.e. the lack of mystery in sex and conception, women and men's dignity and agency). NOW, another trimester, another handmade tale, brayed, but not forgotten. That said, viability of baby and granny from the first to last heartbeat, the first to last coherent nervous impulses. Roe, Roe, Roe your baby, granny, may be socially just, politically congruent even, but is no longer a viable choice.

There is no difference between Stormy Daniels and that woman who alleged Kavanaugh with teenage rape. They are both blind agents of Democratic thuggery.

Well said Patrick!!

Let's try to get the facts correct. CBF accuse Kavanaugh of jumping on her not raping her.

It was at a party at a house she did not remember (esp. getting there and leaving) and at a date that she forgot with people who said they were never there.

The issue here is the media credibility in promoting one hoax over another.

Thread award goes to Yancey--who has diagnosed Howard as having symptoms of the "short man's disease". Although I doubt that Howard is actually 5' 9".

And as for Michaeal Avenatti--the guy has an ego and can write. I'm awaiting Avenatti's version of "Letters From The Birmingham Jail"---something along the lines of "Confessions of A Con Man Counselor In The Clink".

Poor Howard. Gas is $7 a gallon and hamburger is $7 a pound. Your ideal ! Why so long in the face? Too short ?

True. But one of the other accusers made up the story of Freshman year Kavanaugh rape parties, and he was still a teenager then.

So before you get snotty with people, you might want to make sure you know what you're talking about

Stormy Danials was a Liberal/left heroine. Her name is engraved in concrete next to John wayne and Bogart in Hollywood. CNN had her croored lawyer on TV about 400 times, and talked about him running for President.

All the gullible liberal/leftists lapped it up. Now they've been reveled for what they, crooks and amoral porn whores out for some $$. Any liberal/leftists upset? Nope. They don't think that way. Daniels was just a weapon to be used and discarded.

No wonder she became a porn star, she is really good at getting screwed.

Patrick said...

Contrast lying Stormy and the fake voiced teenage rape victim with Sonia, Elena, and Ketanji, who are all doubtlessly seekers of truth and justice.

Amadeus 48 said...

Isn't this the police sketch that looked like Stormy's former husband?

He was a 5’9” guy as big as a 6’ guy.

If Michael Avenatti is the lawyer who missed the deadline for filing the appeal, perhaps he owes Stormy another $300,000.

Porn stars make more money than I would have guessed.

I hope all those Jimmy Kimmel appearances were worth it, Stormy.

Who is being snotty? Aside from you that is. It's no big deal that you were wrong and I corrected you.

If I recall correctly, the rape parties were of college girls when Kavanaugh was still in HS. CBF did not tell those lies. Other whack jobs did.

=========
who will bankroll that law suit? can she crowdfund? where is the crowd now?

Lucien said...

Umbrage!, umbrage I take, at the promiscuous use of “porn star” to refer to anyone who has ever appeared in a (non-home-made) pornographic video. Just like any haute couture model whose name you recognize is a “super-model”, and any woman who once slept with a celebrity qualifies as a “mistress”.
What’s happening to our language, people!?
And someone please explain whether you get shivved with a shank, or shanked with a shiv.
(As Ann knows, I take extreme umbrage at terms like “one year anniversary”, rather than “anniversary”. (Maketh me to wax wroth, it does.))

A tall man, the height of an average man?

JaimeRoberto said...

If I recall correctly the sketch of the man who "threatened" Daniels looked exactly like her husband or ex-husband.

She was prescient with her first name choice.

"And Trump gets paid."

I'm pretty sure that makes him the pimp.

Readering said...

Avanetti only liable for malpractice for missing deadline if the appeal was meritorious. Here, he should be liable for filing the lawsuit in the first place.

Your "Google Search" posting doesn't work. There must be a better way to distribute the image to all who are curious.

So, $50,00 an inch?

Not bad work if you can get it...

Stormy should have known rich guys don't pay hookers for sex.
They pay them to leave and shut up about it afterwards.
