The lawyer who represented both Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal in their hush money deals with Donald Trump, is now cooperating with Robert Mueller.

Keith Davidson, the former attorney for two women who were paid to keep quiet about their alleged affairs with Donald Trump, has been contacted by federal authorities investigating Trump attorney Michael Cohen and is cooperating with them, a spokesman for Davidson confirmed. 

Davidson was asked to provide “certain limited electronic information” for the probe led by prosecutors in the Southern District of New York, spokesman Dave Wedge said. “He has done so and will continue to cooperate to the fullest extent possible under the law,” Wedge said in a statement Friday. 

Shortly before the 2016 election, Davidson negotiated a confidentiality agreement with Cohen under which porn star Stormy Daniels was paid $130,000. 

Davidson also represented Karen McDougal, a Playboy centerfold, in the $150,000 agreement she struck in August 2016 with the National Enquirer’s parent company, American Media Inc., for the rights to her story. AMI never published the story.

The impetus for this cooperation is likely due to the fact that the records seized from Cohen by the FBI included tapes that he recorded of conversations with Davidson.

I am guessing that Davidson would do almost ANYTHING to keep those records out of the newspapers. 

And the noose gets just a little bit tighter.

    Another keeper of the secrets is keith schiller. During the fake campaign he walked around with a raven or hawk on his shoulder like some mid evil fruitcake. Mueller should have fun with him.

      "rump’s defense against what he characterizes as
      “fake news” is directly contradicted by the sworn testimony of his longtime bodyguard, Keith Schiller." "Comey wrote that during a January 28, 2017 dinner with Trump at the White House, Trump brought up the “golden showers thing” and said “[h]e had spoken to people who had been on the Miss Universe trip with him and they had reminded him that he didn’t stay over in Russia for that.”

      “He said he arrived in the morning, did events, then showered and dressed for the pageant at the hotel
      (he didn’t say the hotel name) and left for the pageant. Afterwards, he returned only to get his things because they departed for New York by plane that same night,” Then, during a meeting between the two men on February 8, according to Comey, Trump again brought up the
      “Golden Showers thing.”

      Trump “said it really bothered him if his wife had any doubt about it,” Comey wrote. “He then explained, as he did at our dinner, that he hadn’t stayed overnight in Russia during the Miss Universe trip… The President said ‘the hOOkers thing’ is nonsense but that Putin had told him ‘we have some of the most beautiful hOOkers in the world.’
      (He did not say when Putin had told him this [redacted])”
      "Comey’s memos recount other claims from Trump that seem implausible in light of what we’ve come to know about the president."
      "Comey writes that on two separate occasions,
      Trump tried to dismiss the dossier’s allegation about his engagement with sex workers in Moscow by asserting that he’s NOT the type of guy who would PAY for sex." {full price}

      “He then said something about him being the kind of guy who didn’t need to ‘go there’ and LAUGHED {WOW}
      (which I understood to be communicating that he didn’t need to PAY for sex),” Comey writes about his first meeting with President-elect Trump on January 7, 2017."

      Next time you comment on Comeys' book, try reading it first. Then gather some coherent thoughts before you pontificate.
      No offense, but you just participated in a giant game of "Pass It On"

    Talk about a clown car. Trump has had a pathetic lifetime and bus load of enablers and liars for his sick pleasure.

    Not an attorney so take my opinion with a grain of salt-- but based on what karen McDougal has said, it appears that the two lawyers were colluding to keep her from getting the best payment possible from the national enquirer.

    "If Trump is innocent, the answer is easy. The president did nothing wrong and is not worried any legal jeopardy. Kellyanne Conway never said that. She tried to twist the meaning of Trump’s tweets into concern for Cohen. Kellyanne Conway has one job in the White House, and that is to go on TV and defend Trump. No one can figure out what else she does in the White House. Conway used to be able to give straight answers, even if they were lies.

    The fact that Conway can’t give a direct answer to a simple question is telling."

      Will Conway and the heavy, female press secretary (can't think of her name!) end up in jail after Trump resigns or is impeached, due to all the lies they have told about this administration?

      Truly hope so!

    Donald Trump’s world is quickly falling apart, and as this happens his panic and erratic behavior will continue to increase. Even if he could fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller it would do no good. Even if he negotiates disarmament and peace with North Korea it will do NO good."

    "2016, everything seemed right: for Russia, for America’s white supremacists, for the marriage between the two. Trump had been elected, promising good times and glad tidings to Moscow and the young white nationalists buoying his campaign. The future appeared bright.

    As Dugin reveled to extreme right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, “Anti-Americanism is over! Now the people of free America, free Russia, all anti-globalists of the world, should build a new world — a new architecture!”"<WRONG.

    Please explain a bit further Gryph - why would Davidson want those kept out of the papers? DO you mena that they'd show he was a shitty attorney who broke his clients' trust, or that he's guilty of something else?

      He was in cahoots with Cohen, not representing his “clients’” interests at all.
      My question is, if the Feds have all the records and tapes, who gives a rat’s ass if anyone flips or not?

    Given that this lawyer wasn’t really representing his clients, and instead, was colluding with their adversaries, shouldn’t he lose his law license? Shouldn’t he be disbarred?

    I still can't get that image of Stormy Daniels spanking Trump with a magazine. Whap! And he got all turned on and was perched on the bed when she came out of the bathroom, waiting like a vulture.
    I would hauled ass out of there. She's got to be one steel heart woman to have gone through that.
    I hope to hell Karen McDougal doesn't tell us the gross details of her sex with Trump. That would be too much to bear of the image of the Pillsbury dough boy's sex life. Ugh.
