Thirdly, the specter of Daniels having incriminating images of the president was allowed to be thrown out in front of a huge audience, in an extremely self-serving manner, by Daniels’ lawyer without even a hint of substantiation, even from Daniels herself. Without Daniels at least being willing to say that she does possess such items (after only one sexual encounter?!) this is nothing but pure gossip and 60 Minutes should not have let themselves be so easily manipulated into airing it.
There is one other aspect of the Daniels interview which bothered me quite a bit. I believe her and I think her story is somewhat relevant (though not as much as fellow Trump mistress Karen McDougal’s story is), but I could not help thinking about all of the easy excuses that 60 Minutes and every other major media outlet would have come up with to rationalize ignoring her if they liked the president with whom she had the affair.
