An ironic exchange in testimony during the Trump trial in light of recent events.




Adam Klasfeld @KlasfeldReports

According to Pecker, Trump got angry after seeing Anderson Cooper interviewing McDougal. Trump said that he thought there was an agreement forbidding her from speaking to the press.

Pecker replied: "Yes, we have an agreement but I amended it to allow her to speak to the press."

1. Why did Pecker amend the NDA for McDougal to speak to the press?

Isn't that what an NDA is designed to do? Prevent people from speaking to the press?

Trump screwed him and Pecker paid him back by making the McDougal NDA worthless.

Pecker has the ability and willingness to fight back.

When your business model involves screwing people over left and right, eventually someone will hit back.

As part of the catch and kill program.
Some of it probably disgusting and nasty.
And illegal.

If most of your employees, friends and business associates are scumbag criminals,
yes one of them will use underhanded means to get even with you after you screw them.
