Standing in the firing line of the vicious attacks coming from the trumpsters while pressuring them using the media. He's playing their game in the media wars and beating them in the courtroom. That is certainly serving his client. And the media is listening because he is good at it.

Her lawyer is doing that for her - which is what mouthpieces do. Not that hard to figure out.

Oh and shame, shame on her for "not keeping a deal" that wasn't signed by Pee Brain and was done in a non-transparent, seedy way. She has 1000 times more ethics than the scumbags who are trying to destroy her. But I'm sure dump and Cohen and their sleazeball buddies are glad you are on here doing their work.

You certainly continue to move your goalposts deftly with each passing post. In merely three responses, you've mutated from he's not doing his job for his client, to his client getting a far better deal than originally agreed on.

Bemusing... but lacking objective facts to support your narrative.

You chose poorly.

And whatever personality problem you have with him, are you not able to see the damage he's doing to Biff & Co, which is GOOD thing?

While I find criticism of his public visibility rather silly in the face of what we're facing -- especially given the Reality TV President who's the target of his and Stormy's case -- he recently addressed the heat he's taking for being on so many media outlets, being active on twitter, etc. He said it's working, and that because of his high visibility, he's getting people contacting him with excellent leads and other information which his team is using to continue their investigation. Him being so visible is part of his strategy. (No doubt it's also to get under Biff's skin as well. Just wish so many anti-Trump people weren't also demonizing him, however subtly it's being done.)

scrambling like rats because Avenatti is beating them at their own game: messing with the narrative and doing it very effectively. Avenatti is meeting them on the same playing field through TV and social media. He is smart, savvy, aggressive and therefore mega-threatening.

So yes, any crack in Avenatti's armor will be immediately attacked, as in the $20,000+ error in Cohen's questionable financial arrangements. Cohen's team obviously does not want to talk about the nearly $4 million that whisked through Cohen's hands because . . . the whiff of bribery and money laundering stinking up the joint.

Be prepared for more screeching attacks. Anything kinky in Avenatti's personal or professional life will be capitalized on to the fullest in an attempt to bring him down.

It's why anyone involved in the Trump/Russia investigation needs to be above reproach if they're going to get out alive. Too much at risk for these guilty suckers and they know it; the cage is getting smaller and smaller.

Hope Avenatti is prepared. We've seen this picture show before.
