Heilemann: Stormy Daniels’ Atty ‘Has Frozen the President Like a Deer in the Head Lights’

EXCERPT:

HEILEMANN: "And what you just said is for all the kind of unsettling, sometimes seemingly over the top nature of Avenatti's tactics, he has frozen the President like a deer in the headlights and I think Donald Trump is sitting around thinking about how — what a lot of his behavior is explained by a) how do I try to stay out of the court and keep from being deposed in this case, and how many other NDAs are out there? How many women are — what is the flood here? If Stormy Daniels wins, if Michael Avenatti wins, how many other women are going to come forward? How many of those women may have more damaging things on Donald Trump than Stormy Daniels does? If those are standard form NDAs that Michael Cohen was sending out, how many women are there out there operating under that same NDA. Michael Avenatti has now said there were eight who approached him. There may be more than that. So I think a lot of these things are the reason why Donald Trump may seem a little bit paralyzed at the moment."
