How a porn star brought down a president! LOLOLOL

How Stormy/Avenatti helped bring Cohen/Trump down,

in the course of her battle to be released from her nondisclosure agreement.

Cohen was already in the FBI's sights, but he and Trump had enjoyed attorney-client privilege -- until, with regard to Stormy/Avenatti, Trump destroyed it.

The legal battle has spurred Cohen and Trump to make public statements that are “quite incriminating,”said David Super, a Georgetown University law professor.

Among them: Trump's comments to reporters last week, denying knowledge of the Daniels payment or the source of the hush money. "You'll have to ask Michael Cohen" why the payment was made, the president told reporters on Air Force One.

If Cohen acted on his own to pay Daniels, Super said, "then there's no attorney-client privilege, which may have made (the FBI) more comfortable doing this raid."

Trump's statements "have exacerbated his problems severely," Super added. "If he had taken the usual lawyers' advice to clients and referred all questions to the lawyers and declined comment, I don't think we would have seen this raid and I don't think this lawsuit would be any big deal."
