by Matt Naham | 9:21 pm, April 11th, 2018
Michael Avenatti, the attorney for porn star Stormy Daniels, joined CNNs Anderson Cooper on Wednesday night to react to the raid on the office, home and hotel room of Donald Trumps long-time attorney Michael Cohen.
A major statement dropped by Avenatti, and you can take his word for it or not, is that he said I know for a fact that more raids like the Cohen one will happen in the next week or so. And Anderson, I will tell you, these raids that occurred on Monday, theyre not the last raids. I know that for a fact, he said. There are other raids that are contemplated. I anticipate them coming within the next week.
Cooper asked a follow-up question about how Avenatti knows that for a fact and Daniels attorney declined to go into details, instead pointing to his track record on predictions made the last five weeks.
I am not going to get into details as to where I learned that, but our track record over the last weeks what I predicted or what we predicted is pretty damn good, he said. We have only just scratched the surface.

(20,025 posts)Cohen's files could conceivably contain all sorts of crime-related stuff: mob connections and past activities, swindles, bribes, possibly even references to whacking somebody. On an international scale, although much of it would probably fall under the jurisdiction of NYAG.

(1,530 posts)Paying hush money during a campaign is an illegal contribution in kind.
That seems to make everything around the payment even bigger crimes. Money laundering, wire fraud, tax fraud and conspiracy.
Orange is the new Orange, I hope.

(5,210 posts)I want to like him, and I mostly do, but sometimes he's just a little too slick, a little too hucksterish. With this he seems too much the rumormonger.
One thing for sure: he's about as much a showman, at least when he's got an appropriate case for that, as Trump is.
That said, this is quite delicious and he handled himself well -- less so, perhaps, the very last, the prediction and his refusal to say how he knew, and his threat that Trump shouldn't be sleeping well at night.
