TSF never sued Daniels for slander. That's the prosecution: Why didn't he sue? He sues everyone.

If he actually hadn't slept with her, and didn't need to cover it up, he'd have sued her for slander. That's the summation. He allowed her slander, AND paid her, in order to try to win the election.

He learned a long time ago that it's cheaper to just not pay people you owe money to, force them to sue in order to collect.

Most people either don't bother, eventually give up, or settle for something considerably less than 100%, and possibly years later.

Not a problem if you don't value a continued relationship. But Donnie worked the media to maintain an image, ensuring a nearly endless supply of suckers.

I read on WaPo last year that Trump has filed suits more than 4,000 times. I believe this number has been verified.

Only to people who are either deluded or don't have a bloody clue what the word 'rarely' means. His filings as a plaintiff, by the numbers:

1 over campaigns
1 personal injury
7 media/defamation cases
12 employment cases
22 miscellaneous
26 related to his golf courses
45 over branding issues.
62 contract disputes
113 over government issues and taxes
153 related to his real estate deals and holdings
1679 related to his casinos

Total: 2,121

He falsified records to hide the source of the payments to Daniels. It really doesn’t matter what he did with her.

From the 1970s until he was elected president in 2016, Donald Trump and his businesses were involved in over 4,000 legal cases in United States federal and state courts, including battles with casino patrons, million-dollar real estate lawsuits, personal defamation lawsuits, and over 100 business tax disputes.[1] He has also been accused of sexual harassment and sexual assault,[2][3] with one accusation resulting in him being held civilly liable.[4]

In 2015, Trump's lawyer Alan Garten called Trump's legal entanglement "a natural part of doing business" in the U.S.[5][6] While litigation is indeed common in the real estate industry,[5] Trump has been involved in more legal cases than his fellow magnates Edward J. DeBartolo Jr., Donald Bren, Stephen M. Ross, Sam Zell, and Larry Silverstein combined.[7] Numerous legal matters and investigations occurred during and after Trump's presidency, some being of historical import.

If he didn't like her making money off a lie (it wasn't but he's pretending she's lying) he would have sued her. I hope it comes up in summation. Or, I hope the jury tosses it around.

[ ... ]
Analyses by Bloomberg and USA TODAY, however, differ over whether Trump sues or gets sued more often.

USA TODAY’s findings indicate that Trump sues slightly more than he gets sued as a proportion of all identified lawsuits.

Bloomberg, on the other hand, filtered out unremarkable lawsuits related to Trump – such as personal injury complaints – from its initial tally of 1,300. It found about 200 noteworthy lawsuits, and Trump or his companies were the defendant in almost 70 percent of those cases.

Stormy Daniels thing IS, that is merely a diversion from the massive amount of SERIOUS treasonous corruption that Trump has committed.....(Along with Ivanka and Jared)

On a CORRUPTION SCALE of one to a million,

THE STORMY DANIELS THING HAS A RATING OF ONE, THE THEFT AND SELLING OF INTELLIGENCE DOCUMENTS RATES A ONE MILLION IN THE LEVEL OF SERIOUSNESS.........

The Republican Party, Republican Politicians, and the 95+% Republican owned and operated main stream media want to keep the insignificant Stormy Daniels thing in front of the people, 24/7/365...... and keep the TOP SECRET "DOCUMENTS" TREASONOUS ACT, in the shadows, hidden behind smoke and mirrors.

IF THEY CAN KEEP THE STORMY DANIELS SHIT GOING FOR THE NEXT SIX MONTHS, THEN ALL THEIR OVERWHELMING AMOUNT OF CORRUPT & DEVIOUS VOTING CRAP CAN KICK IN, THEY ARE HOME FREE.....

The Corporations and Republicans have orchestrated, organized, implemented, and executed, a massive amount of corruption, to destroy the U.S.A., Our beloved Democracy, and the U.S. Constitution...........

I honestly wish I am wrong, but day by day, it keeps looking worse..............

Promising Big Oil he’d reverse all Biden’s energy policies ’DAY ONE’. Everything! All for ONE BILLION dollars to get him elected.

https://www.rawstory.com/undisguised-corruption-critics-slam-trump-for-selling-the-white-house-to-big-oil-2668212449/

Donald Trump is promising CEOs of oil and gas conglomerates he will dismantle the climate protections President Joe Biden has installed, and he will green light their policy wishlists including gutting support for electric vehicles if they donate $1 billion for his presidential campaign, according to reporting from Politico and The Washington Post.

“You all are wealthy enough, he said, that you should raise $1 billion to return me to the White House," reports The Post, describing Trump's conversation "with some of the country’s top oil executives at his Mar-a-Lago Club last month."

"At the dinner, he vowed to immediately reverse dozens of President Biden’s environmental rules and policies and stop new ones from being enacted, according to people with knowledge of the meeting, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe a private conversation," The Post added. "Giving $1 billion would be a 'deal,' Trump said, because of the taxation and regulation they would avoid thanks to him, according to the people."

***Article goes on to mention that they are already drawing up ‘Ready to Sign’ policies getting exactly what they desire. Ready on day one.


Edited to add…These trials as needed as they are…are being used by his campaign as distractions from their plans. They crime on everything and use anything in committing them.
