keep telling myself that History doesn't keep repeating itself .. people do . Rose Mary Woods (December 26, 1917 - January 22, 2005) was Richard Nixon's secretary from his days in Congress in 1951 through the end of his political career. Before H. R. Haldeman and John Ehrlichman became the operators of Nixon's presidential campaign, Woods was Nixon's gatekeeper.

But she did admit on the stand that she had the contact information in the "Rolodex" or "phone book" in which she kept all of _Trump's_ contacts -- including for BOTH Karen McDougal and Stormy Daniels, BOTH of whom Trump claims he never heard of or knew. AND she recalled seeing Stormy Daniels in Trump Tower. So Trump's denials that he didn't know and never heard of McDougal and Daniels are LIES. THAT was attested to by Graff, who can be characterized as a HOSTILE witness, and SUBSTANTIATED with the DOCUMENTS from the TRUMP "Rolodex"/phone book. How many OTHER adulterous affairs did "Bible"-loving grifter Trump have during his three marriages?

@@toddcorrigan4874 Trump isnt going down. This case is now super weak and hangs on Cohen who is weak as he was the legal advisor, executor. Why was cohen opening up LLC's were he is the only signatory on the accounts. We know cohen is going to say he did it for Trump. But that's a weak argument as it does not directly link Trump. So far Trump is not linked to anything besides paying his lawyer and not wanting negative stories printed(who would?). Cohen is gonna be crossed and he will be shown to be the entire orchestrator and executor and Trump was not directly involved outsides of being updated. For the records trumps assistant helped Trump by saying Trump just signed checks when he was on the phone or talking with other people. That is telling to Trump was not involved in who gets paid what and when he just signed the checks. Hard to prove falsification when it was not Trump falsify those records.

Because Trump LOST the case because he didn't have a legal leg to stand on, and because his lawyers present his irrelevant politics in place of legitimate legal defense. That's why Blanche got dressed down by the judge in this case: he was falsely claiming that Trump's violations of the gag order weren't violations. "Justice and the Rule of Law are to be ABOVE politics." -- John Adams. If Trump doesn't drink, then why is he always drunk on cheap whine? Trump's retributive flatulence: the judge gagged Trump, so Trump is gaging everyone in his vicinity.
