The stormy daniels and karen mcdougal although i may be wrong about one of them was david dickinson. >> david dennison. >> right. so the fake name he used was david and i think its mr. cohen referring to our friend david when he starts to talk about executing this document. >> that may also be david pecker, the head of ami, the institution that was supposedly paying the hush money on the presidents behalf. >> thats the other friend david. it raises more questions than it answers but i think the ...
