This cat, Michael Avenatti, is grinning from ear to ear and coughing up yellow canary feathers!

[Stinky The Clown]

Live on O'Donnells hour talking about the last from the orange fatass. Laughing. Taunting. Looking into the camera and talking to Commander Bonespurs.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. He's really having fun watching Trump step on another rake.

And so am I.

[Xipe Totec]

35. ...

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

37. LOL, that's about right.

Trump seems to be going out of his way to find rakes to step on.

[poboy2]

2. 16 cell phones and blackberrys FBI confiscated and 'imaged', per Avenotti. -nt

[BigmanPigman]

25. Manafort had even more than that!

[CrispyQ]

49. Oops, sorry, wrong post! -nt

[hlthe2b]

3. yeah... to those who wanted to consider him a tv "ambulance chaser", I think you'd best

reconsider.... Brains and (beauty--lol)

[poboy2]

4. Dude brings it, bring it hard, and is unrelenting. -nt

[nolabear]

43. Watch it, Buddy. Im one step away from a fine fantasy life

as it is.

[mucifer]

5. I really think he spends more time on tv than he does working the case

He was on Lawrence last night, too. Then he was on Morning Joe this morning. Now back on Lawrence's show and who knows how many shows in between. I almost wonder if he's the tv lawyer and there is a real one working the case behind the scenes.

[poboy2]

7. This is and always was a 70% trial by media campaign. He succeeding too. -nt

[Catherine Vincent]

24. Good thing CNN and MSNBC is giving him airtime

If he had to rely on Fox and right wing hate radio, he would be fvcked.

[JoeOtterbein]

10. I saw him twice earlier today on CNN but...

..maybe the real work (goal) is to undermine trumpy on TV.

[manor321]

12. Cases going well

Both of his cases (Stormy case in CA and Cohen case in NY) are going so well he probably isn't pressed for time. And in the NY case he's only on the sidelines.

I mean, he forced Cohen into a spot where he had to plead the fifth.

[hlthe2b]

13. I think he's got this on autopilot, but tv is part of the strategy (and surely seems to be working)

He knows this specific aspect of law and so his efforts are obviously streamlined--can probably have a paralegal complete a lot of filings since he's done this kind of work many times before. But, going against Trump, his tv time is well spent and good strategy.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

15. He certainly has associates and paralegals helping out -

a case like this is way too much work to handle alone. But he clearly knows what he's doing and is more than just a tv presence.

[mitch96]

16. "he spends more time on tv than he does working"

I would suspect that he has a bee hive of legal assistants and junior lawyers doing his bidding. A research crews etc... What 'cha tink?
m

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

22. When he's on TV he is working.

[poboy2]

23. exactly. He IS working. The media presence and the force of his personality and demeanor

are an essential part of this.

[dem4decades]

18. On Morning Joe he acknowledged a hard working staff back

In California that allows him to be on TV and look good. I have no idea how many people but it sounded like he was talking about many. And unlike Trump he gave them credit.

[Lisa0825]

39. Yesterday, he said there is an entire staff back at the office working hard on this case

and they make him look good on TV with all the work they do.

dem4decades - I should have scrolled farther before replying

[Sophia4]

44. He worked the most important parts of the case before he filed.

That's my guess. And I also guess that he already knew most of the story before he filed.

It's a matter of his doing his homework.

[womanofthehills]

54. Being on TV is working the case

I would say!!!

[shanny]

56. There isn't "one", there is an entire staff working to help him look good on the teevee,

as he has said.

[Stinky The Clown]

6. Anyone who sees him as that is sorely mistaken.

He has an impressive list of wins - both in dollars and in prestige. He's VERY savvy. He knows EXACTLY how to tweak Trump.

The man is highly skilled.

[smirkymonkey]

14. I am thoroughly enjoying watching him torment Spanky.

If anyone can get under his skin, it's Avenatti. I think it's interesting that he is a very handsome, sexy man who embraces his baldness, while Trump hangs on to the few whisps of hair that he has left and thinks that is a hallmark of his virility. Avenatti is 100 times the man that Trump will ever be. I am loving every minute of this.

[Silver Gaia]

38. Oh yes!

I am thoroughly enjoying this, too!

[Lisa0825]

40. TOTAL HOTNESS!!!

Sometimes I lose track of what he is saying because I am too captivated by his jawline and cheekbones! LOL

The first thing I ever said about him first time I saw him on TV was a tweet asking if he'd ever worked with Stormy before because I would be interested in seeing that collaboration!

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

41. He's not hard to look at, that's for sure.

Better yet, he's smart.

[mainstreetonce]

52. Put a cowboy hat on him

And he could be a body double for Kenny Chesney
No Shirt
No
Shoes

Big Problems for
Donnie

[EffieBlack]

28. There sure was a lot of second-guessing and armchair quarterbacking going on

Now, not so much.

[CrispyQ]

50. More like race car driver!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Avenatti

Racing career
Since 2010, Avenatti has raced as a driver in approximately 34 professional sports car races, including various American Le Mans Series, FIA World Endurance Championship, Porsche Supercup and United SportsCar Championship races in the United States and in Europe.

It's worth a click to read his legal career, too!

[malaise]

51. Oh yes - he's pleasing on the eyes

[Grammy23]

8. Looks like today was another epic one in this chapter of Cohens life.

He is going to have some explaining to do and he cannot count on tRump to do anything to Help him out. If he ever throws him a rope, it will be attached to an anchor for sure.

[madaboutharry]

9. Excellent description

Jill Wine-Banks was doing a lot of smiling too.

[blogslut]

11. Avenatti is the lawyer BLOTUS wishes he had.

Also, wow.

It's possible that Cohen recorded years of shenanigans on his many cell phones? Phones that he kept because he's the lawyer BLOTUS actually has.

[C_U_L8R]

17. He's drinking Trump's milkshake.

Drinking it all up and loving every bit.

[Mc Mike]

19. I always rooted for Sylvester, but dRump is no tweety.

Not cute enough. Head too small. Too stupid and clumsy.

[Frances]

20. Avenatti for president

[Amaryllis]

21. Maybe Avenatti's a patriot and sees the way to take down Trump.

[EffieBlack]

26. LOL!

[BigmanPigman]

27. As I listened to him I was also grinning ear to ear...fuckin A!

[Tavarious Jackson]

29. He's a bad ass in his own right.

Look up his accomplishments! Trump is screwed.

[ecstatic]

30. Great! I can't wait to see! nt

[Catherine Vincent]

31. He's on with Don Lemon now!

[Stinky The Clown]

33. He makes the Energizer Bunny look like a lazy layabout.

[S.E. TN Liberal]

32. TraitorTrump had best start claiming a sudden onset of mental illness...

..or he is heading for lots of criminal charges being filed against him.

Between his utter stupidity, his ego, and the steady stream of lying, he is by far his own worst enemy.

[flotsam]

55. Not while I'm breathing.....N/T

[Leghorn21]

34. And keep an eye on this Keith Davidson guy - Avenatti reallllllly dislikes him. REALLY.

From April 5:

Michael Avenatti, the attorney representing the porn star Stormy Daniels in her lawsuit against President Donald Trump, called her previous attorney, Keith Davidson, an "absolute tool" during an interview with the CNN anchor Anderson Cooper on Wednesday night.

Avenatti previously criticized Davidson's handling of the 2016 nondisclosure agreement between the actress, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, and Trump's personal attorney Michael Cohen.

snip

Davidson previously represented both Daniels and Karen McDougal, a woman who has said she had a 10-month affair with Trump around the same time as Daniels.

snip

Avenatti bristled at the suggestion, saying "Keith Davidson is an absolute tool."

I know Avenatti referred to Davidson a couple times today, but I can’t find where (grrr...maybe on tv)...anyway, Davidson is now cooperating with the feds, apparently....but Avenatti still REALLY dislikes him!!!

[BobTheSubgenius]

36. I hope this isn't too cynical.

I see this as being pretty good advertising for future casework, too. He's obviously very confident of winning, and he doesn't even need there to be a monetary judgement to consider it a win.

[Marie Marie]

42. He is really good at winning the message war and setting up Trump.

But then let's face it - Trump makes his job soooo easy.

[WheelWalker]

45. The ability to predict is the ability to control.

[The Wizard]

46. Confident and smart,

with a spine of steel. Trump is making him wealthy. He says he'll depose Trump. that would be interesting.

[Hassler]

47. I'd like him to run against Bone spurs. Unlike most Dems he knows how to fight and he likes to.

[PaulX2]

48. I Told My Wife When Avenatti Starts On The Lawrence Re-Run At 10 PDT I Will Come Watch With Her

I have been letting her know some of the stuff Avenatti said about Dumbass sabotaging his lawyers.

No wonder no one wants to represent him. He will cut them and their case off at the knees.

The worst client in the world no one wants to help....

[BadGimp]
