The Big Story of he Day

The Hill, of all places, could hardly be called a supporter of President Trump.  Nevertheless, it is The Hill that broke a major story today coming up with substantial proof that lawyer Lisa Bloom "arranged" for various donors (especially PACs supporting Hillary Clinton) to pay women to come forward in the fall of 2016 to make charges of sexual harassment against candidate Donald Trump.  One woman who did come forward had the mortgage on her home paid off.  Another sought hundreds of thousands of dollars for making a charge against Trump.  Bloom went back through social media posts that the women had mad in the past to try to scrub them of anything favorable to Trump that might undermine a story told by the women.  In short, this all looks like a concerted effort by Hillary backers to get any story negative story possible about Trump out into the media prior to the election.  You can't tell from the piece in The Hill if these women were advised to embellish their stories or to lie about what Trump did, but you have to wonder why there were extensive negotiations regarding how much these women would be paid just to "tell the truth".  It's particularly strange that the negotiations seem to be between the lawyer Lisa Bloom who supposedly represented these women and the women themselves.  Bloom had a duty as attorney for the women to represent their interests, not the interests of a political campaign in the negotiations.

The details of the story are best obtained by reading the story in The Hill (available at the link in the second sentence of this post.)  This is big stuff.  We know that Hillary and the DNC paid for the phony Trump dossier to be created.  Did the same folks also pay for the charges by women against Trump to be manufactured?  We've known for a long time that the Clintons and their people are the very best when it comes to dirty tricks in political campaigns.  The implications of this, however, are truly extraordinary.
