    Stormy would make a killing if she did a porn with a Trump lookalike. The fact that she isn’t, tells me that her experience with Trump was truly off-putting to the point where she doesn’t care about the money

    None of it matters (what happened, or even if it happened) in a legal sense except that Trump committed election fraud (a felony in NY) due to the manner and timing of the payoff to Daniels.

    The purpose of Daniels testifying is to establish that there was good reason to pay her off, that indeed, the nature of the allegations - whether true of not - would have influenced the 2016 elections, as did silencing Daniels with the payoff under question. This establishes the motive for the alleged crime, which elevates a misdemeanor business fraud charge to a felony election fraud charge.
