Stormy Daniels Blows It on the Witness Stand, Makes Scripted Jokes in Courtroom to Win Over Jury – But Nobody is Laughing

Stormy Daniels on Tuesday took the stand in Alvin Bragg’s lawfare ‘hush money’ trial against President Trump.

“Judge Merchan agrees with Bragg and Biden’s attorneys saying that Stormy Daniels has “credibility” to testify about an alleged affair, even though she’s repeatedly denied any such affair over the years and even went on record by issuing an official statement denying such an affair.” TGP contributor Paul Ingrassia reported on Tuesday.

Trump was accused of paying porn star Stormy Daniels, AKA, Stephanie Clifford, ‘hush payments’ through his then-attorney Michael Cohen in a scheme to silence her and stop the story about their alleged affair from being published in the National Enquirer.

The payments made to Stormy Daniels did NOT come from Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

The payments were made through internal business records – there was no tax deduction taken and there was no obligation to file it with the FEC, according to Trump attorney Joe Tacopina.

Bragg alleged Trump committed fraud because the payment was labeled “legal fees.”

Stormy testified to irrelevant yet very salacious details about her sexual encounter with Trump that allegedly happened many years ago.

She was also reportedly making scripted jokes in the courtroom to win over the jury but nobody was laughing.

CNN criticized Stormy Daniels for using humor to try to get a reaction from the jury.

it’s always been a psyop with Trump, Greene and Johnson. Sun Tzu strategies worked

==Marjorie Taylor Greene backs off threat to oust Johnson as speaker

"I am so done with words," Greene told reporters after meeting with Johnson.==

Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene appeared on Tuesday to be backing off her threat to force a vote to oust Speaker Mike Johnson this week, though she signaled that she'll preserve her threat indefinitely – keeping Johnson on a tight leash as he navigates a one-vote majority in the chamber.

The development comes after Greene and Johnson met on Tuesday afternoon – their second meeting in as many days. The meetings came after Greene said she would force a vote to remove Johnson from the leadership post this week.

"I will tell you one thing I did say in there: I am so done with words," Greene told reporters on the House steps Tuesday afternoon after the meeting with Johnson. "For me, it is all about actions. And that is all the American people care about."

Ahead of the meeting with Johnson on Tuesday, Greene shared her list of demands for the speaker. Her four requests included a return to the "Hastert Rule," which means no legislation is brought to a vote without the support of the majority of the majority party; no more funding for Ukraine; defund the special counsel's probe into former President Donald Trump; and avoid a government shutdown before the election by passing a continuing resolution to automatically enact a 1% spending cut.

Greene said she is not imposing a deadline for Johnson to comply with her four "suggestions."

"These are not complicated things that we're talking about, and having the majority of Republicans support for bills that are brought to the floor. Yeah, that's very reasonable," Greene said. "It's really simple. It's up to Mike Johnson to be our Republican speaker. And we'll see what he does. And again, it's actions for me."

Greene said she did not provide the speaker with a specific timeline on the demands, but said "it's pretty short."

​​"That's up to Mike Johnson and it can't drag out," she said. "These are things that have to be done."

Republican Rep. Thomas Massie, Greene's chief ally in the quest to oust Johnson, said the speaker has been open to the four demands, "but the question is what is he going to do to show that he is moving in that direction."

At the weekly GOP news conference on Tuesday, Johnson didn't rule out Greene's request to defund the special counsel's probe into Trump.

"We're looking very intently at it because I think the problem has reached a crescendo," Johnson said..

Johnson has already passed government funding, aid for Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, and even a federal surveillance extension – meaning that the House is mostly void of must-pass legislation. That gives Johnson the space to advance other Republican-led efforts as the next appropriations battle nears.

Greene has criticized Johnson for working with Democrats on several of those pieces of legislation. Johnson has fought back, saying he's a lifelong Republican, but must do his job to serve the entire House with an extremely thin Republican majority.

The Georgia congresswoman said last week she was moving ahead with her ouster effort despite pushback from many Republicans and a statement from Democrats that they would step in to help save Johnson. Trump has also weighed in on Greene's move to oust Johnson.

Trump spoke privately to Greene over the weekend and urged her to drop her push to oust Johnson, a source close to the president confirmed to ABC News. During their discussion, Trump told Greene that the party needs to be unified, according to the source.

The former president's team has mulled over how best to show support for Johnson. Trump brought Johnson on stage at the RNC spring retreat luncheon over the weekend and praised him "for his leadership and work in the US House," emphasizing "the need for party unity, collaboration, and expanding the GOP's House Majority," according to the campaign.

This was a complicated plan to get all Americans to hate Johnson.

Personally I’m not sure I trust him, but if this strategy was so good to outrage America and dislike Johnson, that would be very sacrificial.

This definitely sounds like a Trump

Sun Tzu plan:

• Appear weak when you are strong, and strong when you are weak.

Sun Tzu, The Art of War

Tags:

• The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting.

Sun Tzu,

• If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.

•Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.

• In the midst of chaos, there is also opportunity

• Supreme excellence consists of breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting.

•All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when we are able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must appear inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near.

• Victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win

•The greatest victory is that which requires no battle

• If your enemy is secure at all points, be prepared for him. If he is in superior strength, evade him.If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant. If he is taking his ease, give him no rest. If his forces are united, separate them. If sovereign and subject are in accord, put division between them. Attack him where he is unprepared, appear where you are not expected .

• To know your Enemy, you must become your Enemy.

• Engage people with what they expect;it is what they are able to discern and confirms their projections. It settles them into predictable patterns of response, occupying their minds while you wait for the extraordinary moment — that which they cannot anticipate.

• There is no instance of a nation benefitting from prolonged warfare.

•Thus we may know that there are five essentials for victory:

1 He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight.

2 He will win who knows how to handle both superior and inferior forces.

3 He will win whose army is animated by the same spirit throughout all its ranks.

4 He will win who, prepared himself, waits to take the enemy unprepared.

5He will win who has military capacity and is not interfered with by the sovereign.

• Treat your men as you would your own beloved sons. And they will follow you into the deepest valley.

• Even the finest sword plunged into salt water will eventually rust.

• Move swift as the Wind and closely-formed as the Wood. Attack like the Fire and be still as the Mountain.

• When you surround an army, leave an outlet free.Do not press a desperate foe too hard.

• Opportunities multiply as they are seized.

• There are not more than five musical notes, yet the combinations of these five give rise to more melodies than can ever be heard.

• There are not more than five primary colours, yet in combination

they produce more hues than can ever been seen.

• There are not more than five cardinal tastes, yet combinations of

them yield more flavours than can ever be tasted.

• He who wishes to fight must first count the cost

• When the enemy is relaxed, make them toil. When full, starve them. When settled, make them move.

• The art of war is of vital importance to the State. It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no account be neglected.

•If you wait by the river long enough, the bodies of your enemies will float by.

• know yourself and you will win all battles

• To win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.

• So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong, and strike at what is weak.

• Be extremely subtle even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby you can be the director of the opponent's fate.

• Build your opponent a golden bridge to retreat across.

• The wise warrior avoids the battle.

Yes I have, and I know the basic plays. It was sacrificial in a way that everyone kept saying Johnson was a Godly man with a Biblical World View. But he did everything that seemed to be Anti America and God (i’m not convinced it wasn’t yet, but Trump correcting this relationship means there may have been a plan all along. Its a theory)

So yes in a way if this theory is correct, Johnson agreed to a sacrificial actto get extreme anger and hatred from MAGA, being the Christian he says he is.
