In chronological order as I remember them:
- Avenatti predicted that Trump knew about the Stormy Daniels payoffs, and he was right.
- He claimed Michael Cohen, Trump's personal lawyer, was lying about how the Stormy Daniels agreement came about, and he was right.
- He predicted that Michael Cohen would be indicted, and he was right.
- He predicted that Michael Cohen would cooperate with Mueller, and he was right.
Actually I think most of America suspected those things also, I know I did.
What were these sensational announcements you mentioned that never came to pass?
Sorry, I guess I was not clear. I didn't say he didn't follow through, I'm just sick of the sensationalization. Just quit building it up and spit it out.
What do you base this on, given that you just above said, "I haven't paid much attention to Avenatti"? That question posed, it is true he has no experience in government.
It seemed that for a period before he talked about running for the presidency every time I wanted to watch the news there he was talking about all the Stormy stuff but not about the issues beyond Trump's treatment of women.
I'm hoping there will be someone who doesn't just want to be the anti-Trump, but that really has some practical suggestions for addressing the issues that threaten our people and our land and all the other life that lives here also.
Avenatti didn't blame "the right wing smear machine." He actually blamed someone very specific, Jacob Wohl, the mind behind the failed scam to take down Robert Mueller from a month or two ago (he tried to recruit women to falsely testify they'd been sexually abused by Mueller).
I am not talking about who he blames, I'm talking about Hannity and the rest who have spent lots the past 25 years on character assassination of anyone on the left who dares to point out their treachery. If he tries to tell the truth about any of the Republicans or Trump, they will do the same thing they are continuously doing to the Clintons and Gore and Kerry, and every climate scientist, in fact any scientist.
I welcome Avenetti's criticism of Trump and his thugs, more power to him. I suspect that he has been set up with the charges considering that there doesn't seem to be any corroboration when it is really looked into. I hope he will get it cleared up and I cheer any black eyes he can give Trump and the rest of his crime organization.
The trouble with matching Trump's behavior is that it demeans us all and you know what they say about wrestling pigs.
