Stormy Daniels's manager offered her client's story to celebrity magazines, television shows and websites in the run-up to the 2016 election

The titillating tell all was peddled to the media around October 17, three weeks before the election

But the adult actress apparently had no takers as Hillary was expected to win at the time, and Stormy's story would have been worth a fraction of her asking price

Daniels then accepted the $130k from Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen, who had made her the offer after Trump won the nomination

'It looks to me that she accepted Cohen's money because she could not get the money she wanted from anyone else,' one media executive said

Daniels told her version of her tryst with Trump to Anderson Cooper on CBS's 60 Minutes on Sunday

Stormy made it seem as though she did not seek to sell her story, telling Cooper: 'Suddenly people are reaching out to me again, offering me money. Large amounts of money'

what does that have to do with anything?

Paul Manafort‘s legal team brought a motion to dismiss on Tuesday, noting that Rosenstein could not appoint Mueller to any investigation outside the scope of the 2016 campaign since Sessions did not recuse himself for anything outside the campaign. I agree with this take on Mueller’s authority. If we follow that argument that would mean Sessions himself has exclusive authority to appoint a special counsel for non-collusion charges, and Sessions has taken no such action. Sessions himself should make that clear to Mueller, rather than await court resolution. Doing so would remove three of the four areas of inquiry from Mueller’s requested interview with President Trump.

Because don't believe in throwing unfounded accusations around - have I missed news that she is looking for a payout of this?
