Michael Avenatti tweets responding to what Rudy Giuliani said tonight

[highplainsdem]

about Trump reimbursing Michael Cohen for the $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels:

1/2. We predicted months ago that it would be proven that the American people had been lied to as to the $130k payment and what Mr. Trump knew, when he knew it and what he did in connection with it. Every American, regardless of their politics, should be outraged...

2/2. ...by what we have now learned. Mr. Trump stood on AF1 and blatantly lied. This followed the lies told by others close to him, including Mr. Cohen. This should never be acceptable in our America. We will not rest until justice is served. #basta

1. Trump lies constantly, so why is Avenatti doing a better job of exposing him than

elected representatives?

[riversedge]

6. He is assertive, non afraid, and very well spoken--. IMHO

[volstork]

7. AND, he doesn't have a seat in congress

and a gravy train to lose.

[SergeStorms]

23. We have a winner!

Spot on assessment of why members of Congress remain mum on the subject. The Republican members of Congress are so afraid of incurring the wrath of "president" Le Grand Orange and his twitter attacks, they don't dare talk truth to power. Cowards, all.

[Mr.Bill]

29. We also have to wonder about how many of them

are guilty of similar transgressions.

[LiberalFighter]

10. Because they are more interested in manipulating to their advantage?

[gratuitous]

16. And a better job than our somnambulent bulldogs of the Fourth Estate

As Michelle Wolf said, reporters are too frightened of something to call a lie a lie.

[BobTheSubgenius]

20. I don't want to be That Guy.

But I think you spelled "bullheads" wrong.

[herding cats]

18. In part because he's representing a porn star...

A lot of Democratic Representatives have spoken out time and time again, but they get less press because their dissent is commonplace and expected. Read: Boring/normal.

The POTUS and a porn star?! Now that's sensational enough to warrant media attention! Add the seasoning of Avenatti's skill at drama and suddenly the media's literally his puppet.

I get it, and I'm not complaining since it facilitates an end I support.

[JI7]

21. Avenatti is a lawyer on a specific case . not sure how you can really compare the two

should stormy daniels have gone to elected officials instead of a lawyer ?

[Wounded Bear]

22. Frankly, Avenatti is a kindred spirit...

perhaps not quite as crooked, but he's a showboat and grandstander, just like Trump. He just manages to keep breaking the law.

[Neema]

26. They're too busy nominating him for a Nobel Peace Prize.

We live in opposite world.

[Mr.Bill]

28. He doesn't have to worry about anyone voting for him

like elected officials do.

[DURHAM D]

2. I saw L O'D interview Avenatti tonight right after

Rudy's statements on Hannity. Avenatti was stunned at the stupid things Rudy admitted to and was not his usual self. Looks like he has gotten it together.

Avenatti will be on Colbert tonight. Can't wait.

[highplainsdem]

4. I want to see Avenatti on Colbert's show tonight, too, but remember it's taped earlier,

so we probably won't see Avenatti or Colbert reacting to what Giuliani said tonight.

[greatauntoftriplets]

5. He's on CNN right now.

Busy guy.

[onetexan]

25. yea he's been doing a great job at giving DOTUS and his ilk a taste of their own medicine

by using the media against them. He's been very busy this morning doing the rounds @CBS &
@MSNBC - see link here https://www.msnbc.com/morning-joe/watch/stormy-daniels-attorney-trump-wh-in-full-panic-mode-1224756803977?playlist=associated

This is a quite a lengthy and extraordinary interview with several other guests, among them Willy Geist, who said some very real but damning things re: the men who do trump's bidding and propagate the lies and fake news.

[LiberalFighter]

11. It was still worth watching. 2 bits revealed.

[Cha]

3. laura ingraham unpacks rudy

Link to tweet

Thanks for Avenatti's tweets, highplainsdem!

[grantcart]

8. Yes, we have no bananas

[orleans]

13. that's kinda funny --

ingraham digging the hole deeper for trump

[oasis]

9. Avenatti will be a household name before all of this is over. nt

[MontanaMama]

12. Hell he might

be president. Stranger things have happened.

[Scurrilous]

14. Eventually the lies catch up to you. And then...

See Ya!

[Atman]

15. Trumpeters will not care.

It’s all fake news.

[ffr]

17. But it's entertaining to watch them twist themselves into pretzels trying to find excuses.

If that's not enough, bring up Clinton's Impeachment lawyer, now on the payroll of 45.

It's positively de-licious!

[Kablooie]

19. Yeah, he lied. So what's new?

I don't see why this is a big deal.
Just one more blatant lie to go with the thousands of others.
Sure we should be outraged but the outrage ship sailed away months ago.

Pheh.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

27. Trump is glad you are normalizing him. We are not. . . . nt

[jimlup]

24. So I think the Giuliani interview was planned

He changed the story as per plan because they knew it was coming out anyway.

Better that he say it and immediately give the "It's NOT illegal" defense than have it come out later when the court, or Avenatti says it.

This is Law School 101 stuff.

[Beartracks]

30. Caught part of Hannity on the radio today. The topic?

Hillary's emails.
