Stormy Tales; “I Stared At The Ceiling Wondering How I Got Here”

[skews13]

After being asked if she felt anything "unusual" during her sexual encounter with Trump, Daniels said she was staring at the ceiling wondering how she got there, and trying to think of something other than what was happening.

Prosecutor Hoffinger then asked Daniels if he was wearing a condom.

Daniels replied, “No.”

Asked if that was concerning to her, Daniels said, “yes,” but she did not say anything about it to Trump, and that the sex itself was brief.

Daniels testified that Trump did not ask her to keep their sexual encounter confidential.

“He didn’t give me anything, he didn’t offer to pay me or give me his cell phone number or anything like that," Daniels said.

Daniels went on to say that Trump also did not express any concern about his wife finding out.

I wonder if Barron will ask him about when he shows up for the graduation ceremony?

Of course lost in all of this is the central question...

Do we really want a President who engages in this sort of behavior? Is he still pretending he never had sex with her and doesn’t know her name?

Reporting from inside the courthouse
Justice Merchan scolded Stormy Daniels for going off topic and told her to “just answer the questions,” a notable sign of disapproval from a judge who has largely been even-keeled, particularly with the prosecution.

Jonah Bromwich
Reporting from inside the courthouse
Merchan sustains a defense objection. Susan Hoffinger, the prosecutor, objects, saying that Daniels’s answer was directly responsive to her question. Then, the judge again scolds Daniels, telling her again to keep her answers short and to the point. He then reverses himself and overrules the objection. We’ve rarely seen Merchan this openly annoyed — and when we do, he often seems to work to rein himself in after the fact.

Jonah Bromwich
Reporting from inside the courthouse
Merchan's visible disapproval may be bad news for the prosecution. Jurors often take their cues from judges. If the judge seems impatient with a witness, jurors could receive it almost as permission to feel the same way.

Maggie Haberman

Stormy Daniels continues to walk the prosecutors through the encounter. She says Trump didn’t wear a condom. “Did you say anything about it?” Susan Hoffinger, the prosecutor, asks. “No,” Daniels replies, adding, when asked why not, “I didn’t say anything at all.” She describes it as brief, and repeats that she did not say no at any point. “I didn’t say anything at all,” she says again.

Daniels is testifying about a few details that corroborate her story, including who she talked to about the initial encounter, as well as further discussions with Trump, who called her “honeybunch.”

Jesse McKinley
Reporting from inside the courthouse
Stormy Daniels describes herself being traumatized by the encounter: shaking, bewildered, wondering “how I got” to the place of having sex with Trump. But she says she didn’t say no, “because I didn’t say anything at all.”

Maggie Haberman
Reporting from inside the courthouse
Daniels says that while she didn't object in the moment, she also didn’t enjoy it, and that she felt there was an “imbalance” in the power dynamic between the two.

Michael Rothfeld
Reporting on the Trump trial
It’s worth noting that the ominous overtones of Stormy Daniels’s testimony about her sexual encounter with Trump were not present in early versions of this story she has told. In her 2011 interview, she did not mention blacking out, and described it much more casually than she is now. Experts on traumatic sexual experiences say that a person's perception of such encounters can change over time, and that the most traumatic details may emerge only later.

Bill received oral sex within the W.H from an intern he had power over, told the world he did not, then admitted it with some shame and he still remained in office.

After that fiasco every other president is basically shielded from sexual indiscretions. Recall what JFK got away with. More importantly, Trump was a private citizen at the time.

Trump mistook rape accuser E. Jean Carroll for ex-wife Marla Maples in deposition about photo

Trump didnt pay her. it was some affair and then she extorted him. Funny how it didnt come up until right before the election, when she KNEW he would be willing to pay her.

If she was so distraught, then why did she meet with Trump about 4 times or so?

The defense is walking in a mine field. The only thing that could get worse is if Donny takes the stand.

Trump's the biggest pig since Harding if not LBJ, but he is accused of not reporting funds he personally paid to silence her story to influence an election.

I'm sure that one's opinion as to whether that should be illegal flip depending on one's pol preferences .... although some of us aim for higher personal standards. (-:
