Verified account @MichaelAvenatti


"We look forward to pushing for answers this morning as to why Mr. Cohen is leaking illegally recorded conversations relating to my client. Also interetsed in why he will not release all of the recordings, especially those with Mr. Trump."

10. I doubt if the FBI would release those tapes.

I hope he is referring to others.

[Achilleaze]

7. Release the tapes. Americans have a right to know

about all the repulsive sleaze the republicans have been fomenting

[Lochloosa]

17. Shocking! Avenatti destroying Trump!

Or as they say at Free Republic---This is HUGH!

[oberliner]

21. Unlike every other hearing, Michael Avenatti took no questions after making a brief statement.

31. That's because of this...

Judge in Cohen case warns Avenatti to stop 'publicity tour'
Source: The Hill

A federal judge on Wednesday told Michael Avenatti to stop his “publicity tour” if he wants to continue participating in court proceedings against Michael Cohen, President Trump’s personal attorney, according to multiple reports.

Cohen’s attorneys have asked the federal district court to bar Avenatti from representing Stormy Daniels in the case. Cohen paid Daniels $130,000 to prevent her from going public about an alleged affair with Trump.

While Judge Kimba Wood did not rule on Cohen’s request, she did throw a sharp warning to Avenatti, who has become a fixture on cable news networks in recent months.

"I say publicity tour not in a derogatory sense. You’re entitled to publicity, I can’t stop you — unless you’re participating in a matter before me,” Wood said, according to New York Daily News reporter Stephen Brown.

51. Well he's a bad bad man!

Sarcasm.

Must be tough though.

[manor321]

22. What does he say?

Can't see video from work. Does he mean video or audio tapes?

[grantcart]

32. Audio tapes by Cohen taken for years

This was known, first time they hit the courts

[Duppers]

58. Thank you.

[FakeNoose]

18. Finally! We're going to see the real pee tape!

[procon]

19. Trump's own admission of his Russian activities is probably the only way

congress will move to impeach him.

[NewJeffCT]

30. Even that

would likely split the Republicans in Congress 50-50. Still, if McConnell and Ryan allow the votes, 50-50 is more than enough to convict - 47 Democrats and 2 Independents, plus 25 or 26 Republicans brings the vote totals into the 70s.

[brooklynite]

33. Um, no.....

Senate conviction requires 67 votes.

[NewJeffCT]

39. yes

47 Democrats
+ 2 Independents
+ 25 Republicans
74 Votes

[getagrip_already]

44. doubtful.....

that you would ever see 25 republican votes to convict. you won't even get the 19 needed to get to 67.

Hell, I can't even count 5 that are even close to flipping. And that includes Mccain, who will likely not return to vote at any time.

[NewJeffCT]

49. as I specified above

if a "smoking gun" tape really did come out, I did not think Trump's support would completely collapse among republicans like it did with Nixon. I think with Fox News and Fake News on high alert, he would only lose about 50% of Republicans, which would mean 25 or 26 votes in the Senate.

[Cosmocat]

56. WAY too generous to the Rs, my friend

No matter WHAT evidence, you would be able to count on one hand of a lathe worker the number of Rs who would vote for impeachment in either chamber of congress ...

[Renew Deal]

20. Tapes as president?

Or tapes in the campaign?

[Kingofalldems]

26. See Post #15

Campaign tapes relating to Stormy.

[jberryhill]

34. No. Avenatti wants to keep any tapes relating to Daniels away from the press

https://www.courthousenews.com/lawyer-for-stormy-daniels-paints-cohen-as-leaker-at-hearing/

Earlier in the hearing, Avenatti offered detail to his claim that Cohen leaked privileged communications about Daniels to the press.

Avenatti said a member of the press asked him a week ago to comment on an audio recording between Cohen and Keith Davidson, a former lawyer for Daniels.

...

“From what I was told there’s other recordings,” Avenatti said, adding that he wants such information protected.

“We don’t want to provide it to the press,” he continued.

------------

Avenatti wants tapes of conversations between Cohen and Trump released.

Avenatti does NOT want tapes of conversations between Cohen and Daniels' then-lawyer Davidson released.

[ooky]

27. Cohen's tapes.

Avenatti on TV right now saying Cohen was making tapes.

Expect Hannity to be leading the chorus by tonight to suppress the tapes.

[BSdetect]

25. But Benghazi, emails ..... You can hear the gop spinning machine grinding up now

[Puzzler]

28. Here we go ...

-Puzzler

[volstork]

29. Somehow I think this is NOT

like the Tom Arnold "tapes"

[Ligyron]

40. Why the hell doesn't the FBI have these?

Was he hiding them? What's keeping them from being destroyed?

[triron]

43. Maybe they do or will get them soon I would think.

[getagrip_already]

46. they do...

avanti was saying that cohen is releasing excerpts from tapes turned over by the fbi to all parties. As the special judge reviews the content, anything approved for trial is being turned over to the fbi and all parties.

Or at least that's what I remember.

[Ligyron]

48. Oh, Okay that's better.

Thanks for that!

[meadowlander]

47. It's probably the Michael Cohen tapes that were just released by the special master yesterday.

The FBI seized them in the raid but couldn't look at them until the special master determined that they weren't covered by attorney client privilege. The special master released over a million items yesterday and then (total coincidence I'm sure) Michael Avenatti says there are tapes of Trump's conversations...

Like it says in the article, he knows about it because it was discussed in court today at Michael Cohen's hearing.

[Cosmocat]

57. Right

99% this is it ...

[llmart]

42. As Jed Clampett used to say on The Beverly Hillbillies...

"whee doggies".

This is starting to get good.

[workinclasszero]

45. Oh boy!

[BobTheSubgenius]

50. "Stay tuned"?

I'm pretty sure most people here are on the edges of their seats for this excellent news! I doubt that retuning will be necessary.

[Unrepentant Fenian]

53. Please be true!

[SummerSnow]

54. from the simpsons...

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

60. Dt
