A few more points about the Falwell's swinging lifestyle and the 2016 endorsement. One thing to remember is that extortion and leverage is often not explicit. It doesn't need to be. We have very strong evidence that Michael Cohen knew about the Falwells secrets and used ...

2/ his experience to hush up potential revelations - the same things he did for Trump, another big Trump ally, Elliott Broidy and no doubt others. So we start with Michael Cohen knew. We also know that Michael Cohen brokered Falwell's critical endorsement of Trump.

3/ We forget now but at the time that endorsement was a big BIG deal for bringing evangelicals to Trump. Big deal. Now here's the thing, Cohen is negotiating the endorsement, even if it never comes up, can Jerry really forget that Cohen (and certainly Trump) knows ...

4/ secrets that can destroy Falwell's whole world. Even if it never comes up, even if Cohen says (maybe especially if he says) don't worry Jerry I would never share the sex pics of Becki or go to the press about the three way stuff, you can't ever unring that bell.

5/ Based on solely on what we know on solidly reported information, Falwell certainly knew and knows that Cohen and Trump own him and there's simply no way that can't fit into the endorsement discussions. Literally no way.
