2. I think some of his legal arguments aren't going to fly. He probably knows that.

But he’s doing a hell of a job dragging trump and Cohen through the mud and exposing all the chicanery.

We are going to owe Avenatti a huge debt of gratitude.

He is the very definition of "coy".

I'm not accusing him of being disingenuous.

I'm just saying that he knows how to play the media.

Every time I see or hear him, I am reminded of Trump.

The fact is, none of us would know of him at all if it weren't for Ms. Cliffords.
