Stormy is back
Why would Stormy Daniels file yet another litigation against Donald Trump? Was she seriously harmed yet again? Did he do something else to her? Is she playing his game – and beating him at it? Or is she trying to sidestep the Cohen indictment that will freeze her first litigation. The answer is “yes” to […]
Bill Cosby retrial begins
Opening statements in Bill Cosby’s retrial on sexual assault charges get underway in suburban Philadelphia Monday in what all sides — defense, prosecution and especially the judge — hope will not be a rerun of the deadlocked jury failure that ended Cosby’s first trial last June. Here is a snapshot of where we are: The accusations: Cosby, now […]
The Mueller Sharks Continue to Circle
This afternoon, the FBI raided the office of President Trump’s longtime attorney Michael Cohen, a key figure in legal matters including the payment to a porn star actress and the Russian election investigation.

Forbes’ $2.3 billion valuation of the Panthers, is it too low or too high?
The Panthers will undoubtedly retain an investment banker to value the business based on its balance sheet and income statement, including reviewing it revenues, expenses, profits, assets and liabilities, as is true with any business.

Trump and obstruction of justice
Trump’s counsel’s new claim that he cannot be held liable for obstruction of justice is just plain silly.

Donald is presumably acting up (for a change) because […]
Harvey Weinstein Exposure (no pun intended)
