Lots of interesting reactions on Twitter this morning to the Stormy Daniels interview. Here's the most important point in the 60 Minutes segment:

This is Stormy's political adviser from 2008, when she was considering running for the Senate against David Vitter:
9 years, y’all. NINE YEARS.

Here’s a story:
On July, 23, 2009, my friend’s car was blown up. On the *SAME NIGHT* my house almost burned down when the gas line mysteriously exploded.
We were both “campaign advisors” on #StormyDaniel’s possible Senate race against David Vitter. https://t.co/GoT9k2zXxC— Andrea DubĂ© (@AndDube) March 26, 2018
More to come?

Stormy lawyer @MichaelAvenatti says on @NewDay that “we have a whole host of evidence” that they will reveal over the “next weeks and months” to show Michael Cohen, with Trump’s knowledge, knew of efforts to silence and threaten her. “We’re just getting started.”

I wonder what they talked about:
NEWS - Trump had dinner with Michael Cohen last night. Night before the Stormy Daniels interview.

True that:
Can I just say, once again, that if that Stormy Daniels interview had been about Obama it would have been OVER, and EVERY black man would have been deemed so DEPRAVED that no other would ever be president again!

Sounds about right:
White House staff doesn't want Trump watching Stormy Daniels coverage this morning so two of them have dressed up as gorillas and are fighting each other in Trump's bedroom

And a few more:
I'm waiting for Trump supporters to start blaming Melania for Stormy Daniels...you know, like they continue to blame Hillary for everything.

Michael Avenatti, who is representing Stormy Daniels, won't say if they have been contacted by Robert Mueller's team.
CBS: Have you been contacted by federal investigators or the special counsel?
Avenatti: "I’m not going to answer that question."— Kaitlan Collins (@kaitlancollins) March 26, 2018
'Thank goodness Joe Scarborough is back to victimize Stormy Daniels for his old friend Trump all over again!' ~ said no decent person ever.
And now let's remember how Joe and Mika of #MorningJoe victimized Hillary Clinton for Trump all through the election.— LaurenBaratzLogsted (@LaurenBaratzL) March 26, 2018
One way you know Stormy Daniels is a serious threat to Trump:
He has never once tweeted her name— Judd Legum (@JuddLegum) March 25, 2018
