bimbos. anyway, stormy daniels appears to be doing great and i m happy for that. i m happy to be able to say it. today the reason it made sense to check in on that is because todayec in the new york times e finally gotth answers on the political, financial, legal, moral, public corruption scandal that started spiraling out from stormy daniels and depending on when you start counting five years, six years, maybe as long as eight years ago finally we have started to get close to ths end. finally we have started to get answers. so first things first her real name is stephanie clifford but sheha changed her name to storm daniels, and he did that for a reason. she prefers todid be called by name she chose, so we shall call her stormy daniels or miss daniels, so let s get that out of the way. second, this story actually emerges both from ms. daniels story but also another woman s story as thwell, and her name i karen mcdougal. during the 2016 presidential campaign stormy daniel
