Stormy Daniels could have stepped right out of the 1990s.She would have been a natural in a Bill Clinton scandal, and, in fact, all the same means would have been used against her.Donald Trump’s tactics in these cases are almost indistinguishable from the Clintons’. The effort to shut down the accusers, the unconvincing denials, the legal maneuvering, the sleazy fixers, the media allies trying to sweep it under the rug — it’s all there . . .. . . Even if Trump’s side wins the legal battles, Daniels and [former Playboy Playmate] McDougal have, in effect, found ways around their agreements by making such a stink about them. The point of an NDA is supposed to be that no one knows about the NDA. Typically, the subject of an NDA doesn’t promote a tour of strip clubs based on the affair she was supposed to not disclose.Trump’s best strategy in all of this would be one easy sentence: “I’ve done things I’m not proud of" . . .. . . Stormy Daniels is Trump’s Gennifer Flowers. Summer Zervos, the former Apprentice contestant suing Trump for defamation, could be his Paula Jones, if she actually gets him embroiled in civil litigation. What Trump lacks is a Monica Lewinsky to drag all of this into the present. It was Clinton’s affair with a White House intern and his lies about it under oath that transformed his scandals from lurid distractions to all-consuming national scandal . . .
