House Speaker Mike Johnson describes himself as a ChristianĀ before anything else. He hasĀ saidĀ his āfaith informs everything I do.ā He hasĀ toldĀ people curious about his views to āpick up a Bible.ā His wifeĀ reportedlyĀ runs a counseling service whose operating agreement, which he himself notarized,Ā states, āWe believe and the Bible teaches that any form of sexual immorality, such as adulteryā¦is sinful and offensive to God.āĀ He hasĀ saidĀ he and his son use a software program called Covenant Eyes to ensure neither is looking at porn.
Given all this, you may think that Johnson would not be comfortable showing up to a criminal trial to defend a guy who allegedly had an affair with an adult film star (according to the adult film star anyway, though Trump denies it), paid her to stay quiet about the alleged affair, and then was accused of covering up said payment. But you would think wrong!
On Tuesday, Johnson attendedĀ Donald Trumpās hush money trial in Manhattan, whereāprior to the proceedings getting underwayāthe congressional leader nodded approvingly at Trump from behind a metal barrier, like a groupie at his favorite bandās concert.
Stormy came out a few years ago though and admitted they never had sex. She also said that she wasnāt a victim and wasnāt a part of the āme tooā crowd. If youāre watching the MSM though, you probably donāt know about that
Damn, she must have crumbled when Trumpās lawyers brought that up when cross-examining her. As far as the jury is concerned, that would be game over for the prosecution.
Trumpās lawyers did bring that up, didnāt they?
Hereās an article on it where Bill Mahr talks about it. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/bill-maher-dredges-up-2018-stormy-daniels-interview-that-totally-undermines-her-trump-trial-testimony/ar-BB1mgfe9
What happened when Trumpās lawyers brought that up in cross examination?
Iām not in the court room, just look it up. Itās on video and I have seen that
Ah but how convenient it is that anything we look up that doesnāt fit your narrative can simply be dismissed as being the MSM which obviously has an anti Trump agenda and therefore is a lie. Thatās pretty convenient, yes? It is almost like thatās exactly why Trump made up this whole MSM is liars who are out to get him thing. He has even tried to turn ādoesnāt like Trumpā into an insult that he then uses against anyone not supporting his lies to try to discredit them so that his own lies seem more believable.
I hope you can eventually see out of his cloud of lies, deception, and manipulation. It may be painful briefly, but youāll eventually start seeing all the ways you have been manipulated. It will eventually feel good like a nice warm blanket to finally be free of it.
I can say the same about your side when it comes to Fox news, Newsmax, etc.
Btw, Trump didnāt just make it up about the MSM lying. Itās pretty obvious to anyone willing to venture outside the MSM bubble. Things like the Russia hoax, the burying of the Hunter laptop story, waiting until campaign season to bring every case theyāve got and then saying itās not political, or spending 3 years telling everyone the border is secure and closed, refusing to say certain words or phrases such as illegal alien, and anytime someone calls them out on something they just tell everyone youāre a racist MAGA supporter, etc. are all examples of the fake news that Trump talks about.
Or that didnāt happen and you think it did because you listen to and believe lying liars who lie.
Okay bud, whatever you sayā¦
Thatās not at all what the Maher article says. She said she wasnāt coerced, not that they didnāt have sex. Itās also not the point of the trial.
I never said that it was Mahr she said she didnāt have sex to. Word for word, this is the letter she signed in 2018.
What is the source of this?
She did sign that letter. But she had previously said they did have the affair (and described it in detail). And shortly after she signed that letter, she admitted to Anderson Cooper the letter was a lie. She explained that she lied becauseā¦ Get thisā¦ She was concerned about legal complications because she had accepted the hush money to not reveal the affair.
She also admitted that statement was a lie during her recent testimony while under oath. Signing that statement was not likely a crime. But if she had lied under oath this month, that would be a crime.
So, she was clearly lying at some point. Why do you choose to believe the much less plausible option that she was truthful the one time in 2018 but she was lying all the other times? Thereās no logical explanation for that, yet the opposite (lied in the 2018 statement you posted) has much more logical support. The only reason I can see to believe her only that one time when she had reason to lie is because it lets you believe Trumpās lies that you really wish were true.
Well why do believe that Cohen is honest now, but lied every other time in the past? Stormy came out the third time and said they slept together again to try and get some money, even telling her attorney to hurry it up before the election or sheāll lose her leverage to get paid. The point is that her and Cohen both just arenāt credible witnesses at all. Theyāre both making a living on Trump being guilty so theyāve got everything to gain from saying whatever they need to say to keep the money flowing
