Donald Trump Is A Crime Victim

What do you call a woman who has sex with a married man – or maybe doesn’t – then goes to his lawyer and tells him she will sell her story to the media unless he pays her a six figure sum? Two words spring to mind – blackmailer and extortionist. The latter is probably more accurate. These are the facts, yet the person being investigated here as the perpetrator and possibly charged, even convicted of a crime, is the victim.

A photographer named John Rutter once took photographs of a topless teenager named Cameron Diaz. Two years later, this strikingly beautiful blonde who had no previous acting experience was the leading lady in the comedy thriller The Mask. She was soon an A List celebrity which tempted Mr Rutter to sell those photos back to her for three and a half million dollars failing which he would sell them to a media outlet (obviously for a great deal less). Miss Diaz appears to have been made of sterner stuff than Donald Trump (assuming he knew about the Stormy Daniels pay-off) and Mr Rutter ended up with a nearly four year sentence.

Koral Karsan was the chauffeur of Yoko Ono, who is of course the widow of John Lennon. He tried to extort Miss Ono, and like Mr Rutter he too ended up behind bars.

One can argue that these two cases are not comparable with the shakedown of Donald Trump by a now washed up stripper, but the idea that Trump should face any kind of prosecution for paying this chiseller out of his own pocket beggars belief, whatever the circumstance. Sadly, this is par for the course in a nation that has now degenerated into a banana republic, one in which the son of its illegitimately elected President and very likely The Big Guy himself are in the pockets of the Chinese Government, and any other entity that can meet their price for influence peddling.
