@MichaelAvenatti
.@DonaldJTrumpJr (aka Biff): Can you please confirm that you are about to be indicted and have been notified of your pending indictment? If I have any of that wrong, please chime in.

It's not a retweet. He's just bugging Junior, and what's wrong with that? n/t pnwmom Dec 2018 #6

or Ghouliani wouldn't have that desperate "Sh*t or get off the pot" meme he's spouting.

There are only a couple hours left in a day before a holiday, so he's almost certain to be wrong. However, if it happens in a few days, it would still be awesome and he could easily brag about his larger prediction.

But by tweeting this out today, he's just bringing attention back to the timing.

It doesn't solve anything, and it makes Avenatti look bad because he's making incorrect predictions.

I just don't know what he did it today, which just focuses on the part of the prediction he got wrong (without any of it being true yet).

He should just wait until he is actually indicted before rubbing it in.

"The only person tRump hired who was qualified for the job he hired them for was Stormy Daniels"!!! So very true. Plus Maleria, but that was years ago.

If Jr. denies it and he's wrong, he looks bad, and is lying as well.
If Jr. doesn't deny it he seems like he's agreeing with it (or ignoring it, but I think the point is to rile him up and get him to reply, or be forced to reply because his knuckle-dragging followers want him to).
If Avenatti is wrong, so what. He's not running.
Win win.
