there is no financial end of the road here for the trump litigation. i mean they re saying we want to get $20 million from stormy daniels. she doesn t have it. the only thing you could ever get if you re successful is a sheriff in texas auctioning off her house some day with every tv camera in the world watching stormy daniels and her daughter become homeless. that s not going to happen. there is nothing that s going to happen at the end of this road for donald trump that erases the 60 minutes interview which is already out there. and i think to boot, the cost to him. cost to him. goes so beyond. you re right. the worst thing that happens to her is there is a huge financial cost. the worst thing that happens to donald trump is perjury trap, clinton. it is a whole mess of other women coming forward. and i thought one of the most interesting things that michael avenatti said to you yesterday was now we ve amended our complaint. yes. we now have the power. we re in it now, eve

her from telling the story that she has already told. and that makes absolutely no sense. any good lawyer would tell donald trump now to drop his case against stormy daniels. unless, unless donald trump knows that stormy daniels still has something that she can reveal about him that is even more dangerous to him than what she has already said. joining our discussion now, ron klain, the former chief of staff to vice presidents joe biden and al gore, former aide to president obama, chief counsel to the judiciary committee and he was chief of staff to attorney general janet reno. and we re joined by dahlia lithwich, the host of the podcast amicus. ron, i just want to go to you on this legal matter i have raised. this is civil litigation. anyone, any party to civil
