Stormy Daniels' lawyer based Trump's pseudonym in hush money deal on high school friend 'David Dennison' - who is now 'upset'

The non-disclosure agreement struck between Stormy Daniels and Donald Trump's camp before the 2016 election used fake names — "Peggy Peterson" for Daniels and "David Dennison" for Trump, Daniels' attorney testified.

Lawyer Keith Davidson told jurors that using the pseudonyms was his idea. The plan was to use names starting with "P" for plaintiff, and "D" for defendant, but Davidson ended up basing Trump's pseudonym on an actual man named David Dennison who member of his high school hockey team, he said.

"How does he feel about you now?" prosecutor Joshua Steinglass asked Davidson, referring to the real Dennison.

"He’s very upset," Davidson replied, flashing a smile.

This expert says some lone wolves may act out, but, overall, Americans take great joy in seeing billionaires behind bars.

The mass revolt ship has sailed for Trump.  He took his shot on January 6th, and he missed.

Trump brought this upon himself by acting like a petulant, spoiled, trust-fund-baby A-hole.

Dog was killing chickens.  I doubt she'd have put it down if not for that fact.

Why was she allowing her dog to run wild especially on other peoples property? She is an idiot.

Trump New York trial: Jailing former president could spark ‘mass protests,’ experts say

Trump New York trial: Jailing former president could spark ‘mass protests,’ experts say

Donald Trump received the clearest threat of jail time yet in his New York criminal trial after a judge said on Tuesday that “jail may be a necessary punishment” for future gag order violations from the former president, a statement legal experts say could have sweeping consequences on his 2024 presidential election bid.

Judge Juan Merchan, who is presiding over the criminal hush money trial against Trump, found him in contempt for nine violations of his gag order due to various social media posts about witnesses in the trial, with a fine of $1,000 for each instance and an order to delete the posts. Trump, the Republican front-runner to face off against President Joe Biden, has decried his four criminal cases as “election interference,” a claim that legal experts told the Washington Examiner could be authenticated if Merchan decides to jail him over social media posts before the trial’s expected end in late May.

“Judge Merchan is operating within his discretion, but I think he would be an automaton if he didn’t appreciate that the world is watching him and how any imprisonment would be viewed by most as true election interference — not in the hyperbolic way that Trump routinely says this trial is amounting to by its very existence,” Alton Harmon, legal analyst and corporate general counsel, told the Washington Examiner.

Former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani told the Washington Examiner it would mark an “unprecedented step” to jail a former president and candidate during an election year, a move that would come with its own set of public policy problems.

While Harmon and Rahmani both said jailing Trump seems unlikely, Rahmani stressed that doing so “may lead to mass protests or even civil unrest.”
