This 10/2016 "The Smoking Gun" story about DT and Stormy has my head spinning.

It appears that the pay-off to Stormy/Stephanie just before the election in 2016 might not have been the only one. There was at least an attempt (involving a lawyer, Keith Davidson, and an agent, Gina Rodriquez) to get money from Trump in 2011. It's not clear what happened after the 2011 attempt, but her story after that just seems to have gone down a rabbit hole -- till it popped up again just before the election in 2016.

Also, and this is an odd coincidence, the same agent, Gina Rodriquez, represented Stormy in 2011 -- when Story's claim disappeared -- and Sydney Leathers. Sydney Leathers is an adult who was involved in one of Anthony Weiner's texting scandals in 2012-13. She went public in 2013.

In the paragraphs below, "Mosny" was Stormy's boyfriend/husband/ex-husband over the years described.

That month, a post on The Dirty, a site run by blogger Nik Richie, alleged that Trump cheated on his wife with an unnamed woman who was “pretty well known.” In a communication sent to the site, a source claimed that Trump met the woman “after one of his golfing events and he lured her to multiple hotel rooms after that.” The source claimed that Trump “ruined my girlfriend’s marriage.”

In response to Clifford’s comment, Richie wrote on The Dirty, “Stormy if the story is ‘bullsh*t’...why did you hire attorney Keith Davidson.” The lawyer, Richie knew, was famous for representing individuals seeking to pursue legal claims against celebrities.

So when Clifford wanted to sell her Trump story, she turned to Rodriguez (seen at right). The women had met years earlier, when Rodriguez was married to Randy Spears, a porn actor with whom Clifford performed.

To buttress Clifford’s own claims about Trump, Rodriguez asked Mosny to memorialize his recollections of his ex-wife’s contacts with the billionaire. Mosny agreed and sent Rodriguez a May 2011 e-mail detailing Clifford’s meetings and phone conversations with Trump. Mosny, who said he was not paid for his cooperation, even agreed to undergo a polygraph test administered by an examiner hired by the gossip magazine.

However, the story about Trump and Clifford never appeared.

Later that year, The Dirty published its communiqué from the source who claimed that Trump “ruined my girlfriend’s marriage.” While the tipster is not identified, Rodriguez’s fingerprints are all over the dropped dime. In addition to trying to broker the sale of Clifford’s story to a gossip rag, Rodriguez also referred the porn star to Davidson for legal representation, according to a source.
