Stormy Daniels arrested in Ohio while performing, her attorney says

Source: CNBC

Stormy Daniels, the adult film actress who has made headlines for an alleged affair with Donald Trump, was arrested in Columbus, Ohio, according to her attorney.

Michael Avenatti, who has represented Daniels, delivered the message in a Twitter post in the earlier hours of Thursday ET. In that tweet, the attorney made claims of political motivations, and said "it reeks of desperation."

In a subsequent Twitter post, Aventatti said Daniels had been arrested for "allegedly allowing a customer to touch her while on stage in a non sexual manner."

If our media ignores this, & then he continues arresting other opponents ... we are all doomed.

Our media has ignored his destruction of world order, our media has ignored his blatant racism, our media has ignored his calling our news agencies "fake", but this is what could take him down?

Children are being ripped away from their parent at the border, but a Porn Star facing a misdemeanor is the final straw?

Oh, please.

She’s not a “Porn Star facing a misdemeanor” — she is a litigant against a sitting Republican President.

I must say your scorn towards her is interesting...

we can’t rely on it. Political prosecution is straight from putin’s playbook. I fear for Avenatti.

First, there’d have to be communications from Trump to the local authorities to make this happen. Knowing he’s under investigation, i seriously doubt he’d risk it for an insignificant misdemeanor charge like this.

This is more likely one of his cop supporters deciding he’s going to do his bit for god and country.

if this was politically motivated. The customer who allegedly touched her wasn't arrested? How is this a crime on HER part?
I smell a revenge plot initiated by Jim Jordan and his flunkies!

I'm glad she has the attorney she has. Watch for further skullduggery against outspoken liberal media people, people in the know that see EXACTLY what this POS potus and his GOP aka NPA is doing to our country. Dangerous, dangerous times for the liberal, the progressive and the moderate Rwer. GOTV.

We do average about two to three murders a week, and this is how our cops spend their time!
