Avenatti's quoting Sun Tzu on Twitter, and you KNOW the effer is using "Art of War" as his playbook.

If you've read "Art of War," you can spot it all OVER his tactics. The whole "playing Trump's own game against him" thing? Tip of the hat to Sun Tzu.

The art of war shows you how to win.. The Orient has been using these tactics to undermine our trade for years...

4. I think I know why heavy hitter Avenatti took Stormy as client

Avenatti has won huge cases recently almost certainly with contingency payments to him. A $442 million dollar judgment, another $80 million. Maybe he thinks Stormy will make him famous so he can get more real clients. Or maybe he hates Trump. In college and law school he worked part time for a firm run by Ram Emmanuel which gathered dirt on Republican candidates. He once worked for a firm headed by superlawyer Browne Greene. Long long ago when I was in graduate school I somehow scraped up $400 to hire a lawyer to help me delay being drafted for Vietnam Nam, and it was a firm run by a young Browne Greene who opposed the Vietnam Nam war. His fees were low because of his politics, the lawyers were anti war activists. So maybe Avenatti is just really anti trump. But I think Avenatti, now rich, wants to run for office, to achieve his political goals, and knows representing Stormy will make him popular with others who hate Trump.

I sure will be predisposed to consider him.

6. The minute Trump hears that he's going to do one of two things:

Ask his aides if there's a movie version the of The Art of War he can watch, or ask Mike Pence to read him the Cliffs Notes version.
