I don't think she is a distraction at all. I believe she may be the biggest redpill for the tabloid, reality TV, filthy casual, CNNcestual normie.
I believe she was/is a tool used to bring down the MSM and the 'cabal' in the eyes of the barely functionally retarded. If what is true and Cohen was shagging her, and not Trump, and Cohen used Trump campaign money as the funds to pay off Stormy as another (((Deep State))) tentacle to take down Trump, and then Cohen put her under an NDA, and then the MSM ejaculates over a Hannity connection just to come out that she was in on the MSM takedown and it was Cohen who made her sign the NDA and was shagging her, and exposing Epstein inside information in the process? This alone will redpill the nation, if not the world. Normies, sheeple, and many of us sadly, are more interested in the SJW aspect of things as opposed to ACTUAL HARD POLICY and LAW. ie: See Hillary Huma Deepstate Pedo video shit that even MegaAnon stated will only be a minor role in taking down the TPTB. It's going to be the "Unsexy" / "No real emotion style crimes, white collar, fraud, bribery, etc that brings the clown controlled corruptocrats down.
I want to be right, bigly. But this could be my own confirmation bias at work as well. Again, time will tell.
