Boy the White House and Cohen have been completely quiet on this for hours! I think they're stunned.

He is a professional (as in other people pay him to drive) race car driver, too. Adrenaline junkies make great lawyers. They LOVE the competition. The fight. The win.

The first time I saw him on TV, I started googling and saw the race car driver pics. I have to admit, though, that I was kinda hoping that his second job was one in which he might have collaborated in a different way with Stormy!

Part time, college and law school. Apparently he dug up dirt in 130 campaigns. A source who confirmed today’s story asked the reporter How the hell did Avenatti find that? Well, he’s a professional.

In 1999, he earned a J.D. degree from George Washington University Law School in Washington, D.C., where he worked with Professor Jonathan Turley on constitutional issues relating to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). He graduated Order of the Coif and first in his class.[7] In 2003, George Washington University Law School established the Michael J. Avenatti Award for Excellence in Pre-Trial and Trial Advocacy, an annual award given to the member of the graduating Juris Doctor class who demonstrates excellence in pre-trial and trial advocacy. Avenatti also received George Washington University’s prestigious Alumni Recognition Award in 2010.

Only four years after he graduated they named an award after him! This is what impresses me.

He always has an answer to every question, without hesitation. I've never seen anything quite like it outside of a movie. Being on television so often, you'd think he'd become overexposed and tiresome, but somehow he is always fresh and dynamic. I'm quite sure we'll see a lot of him for a long time to come.

Wed May 9, 2018, 01:38 AM
May 2018

he studied political science at the University of Pennsylvania (coincidentally, DT's alma mater -- but DT could only get in as a transfer.)

At George Washington University law school, he graduated first in his class.

Here's an article from the Daily Pennsylvanian about their graduate.

http://www.thedp.com/article/2018/03/michael-avenatti-stormy-daniels-lawyer-upenn-grad-trump-porn-star-penn-philadelphia

At Penn, Avenatti studied Political Science, becoming the first to earn a college degree in his family. Avenatti later received a J.D. from George Washington University Law School, where he graduated as the top student in his class in 1999.

who deserve justice if true, the rest of us have moved on as we should to continue to go after the NAZIS


But while we seek justice the Putin administration, uh I mean Rump, is doing tremendous harm every single day to all living beings.
