Avenatti pushes back after Collins blasts client's allegations in Senate floor speech

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Michael Avenatti, the lawyer representing Julie Swetnick in her allegations of sexual misconduct against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, condemned Sen. Susan Collins's (R-Maine) remarks Friday slamming Swetnick's accusations as "outlandish."

".@SenatorCollins is channeling [President] Donald Trump. Entirely disingenuous and shameful. Where was she when Judge [Merrick] Garland could not even get an up or down vote?" Avenatti tweeted during Collins's speech on the Senate floor. "This is all about her post-office job opportunities on K street. We shall never forget. Not in Nov. Not in 2020. Not ever."

".@SenatorCollins should be ashamed of herself for attacking my client and Dr. Ford. How did she make a credibility determination as to my client?" he added in a subsequent tweet. "How is she qualified to do that without ANY investigation? She did ZERO to determine whether my client and her witnesses were credible."

Avenatti released sworn testimony from Swetnick last week alleging that Kavanaugh took part in efforts to "gang rape" girls in high school. She alleged that Kavanaugh was present during a party in which she said she was a victim of gang rape.

1. Interesting. Wonder if she is setting her ducks in a row for future lobbying positions?

Her husband was a lobbyist for a while. Might be where she got the idea.

2. He also has the declaration of the person of indeterminate gender who saw the punch being

spiked/drugged, knows Kavanaugh's claim of virginity is "laughable" and other things. Another person the FBI ignored.

3. He keeps fighting

The right wing thinks the wind will leave our sails and we'll be prostrate before them. Well, nuts to that crap.

I wish him every good there is so that he can keep fighting for his clients and America. I don't need a strongman to follow. But inspiration to do the things I know I can to resist and to make change.

Let the right wing crow and grow stupid from inhaling from their own fart gas. November is coming.

4. They will not stop

Us or intimidate us. We will get them with our votes.

11. We've had a big setback with the SCOTUS

But we have to find inspiration to work to take back the House.

5. Hate to use their words..

But we need to take this country back...

Back from the sewer drain they are trying to pull us into..

9. And always remember that we're in the majority

Which should inspire us to gotv in the way that we're able as individuals.

12. Hell yes,

this is 2018, and we are not going back. After seeing this whole thing unfold over the last 2 weeks, the blatant disrespect they have for the American people especially those who were sexually assaulted, and not taking anything seriously especially those on the Committee and Senate they are the biggest liars and traitors this country has ever seen.

Grassley, Hatch, Graham, Coryn, Collins damn them all.

6. Lol! Inhaling their own fart gas.

Yes, Repubes are high as kites on that sh*t. They are slow and stupid, and we need to be nimble, fierce, and unrelenting. I welcome anything Michael Avenatti can bring to the struggle.

10. And get back to the roots that the right wing is trying to destroy

The advances of The New Deal, voting rights, the social programs of the 60s and 70s and the right to choose are at risk. We have to tend those roots and keep the right from digging them up and setting fire to them. Taking the House is paramount.
