Michael Avenatti is going to shred Grassley and the Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee

Dr. Ford's lawyer has done a masterful job, but Avenatti is going to unleash a public attack on them that they will not be able to withstand. This is also a political fight, and he will wage that battle with vigor.

And exposing kavanaugh more will prove his services to help protect women should be used by any woman now wanting to expose him. He'll win for them , and he should get hired by all who have been assaulted by him. A lot more will come out against him soon, a lot more.

a concerted effort by the M$M to attack Avanatti. The attacks started when he announced he may run for president, even here on DU he has been attacked.

One thing I watch for from cable news is "the narrative." Watch for words and phrases that are repeated by all 3 of the major networks. I am not going to repeat them here because then I would be a partner in the conspiracy to defame Avenatti.

Let me tell you, spiking girls drinks with grain alcohol is pretty bad shit, and defending people who did this is just as bad. I defy anyone to drink grain alcohol and tell me it had no effect on their memories.

and let me tell you, I did my share of drinking, but when a buddy of mine brought out some grain alcohol one night, I took 1 sip and that was it, that stuff is like moon shine. If Kavanaugh and Judge were spiking girls drinks with that stuff let me tell you they were up to no good.

the key that brings the stories of the two women together in creating credibility.

Of course Kavanaugh's friends are going to keep their collective mouths shut. If it is determined that Avenatti's witness is credible, there is the real potential for his friends to be just as guilty of sexual misconduct as Kavanaugh might be. They have just as much to lose (in their own private/business lives) as he does. That is a point that Avenatti needs to hammer home strongly.

Avenatti has established a pretty good track record and many will automatically assume he and his client are telling the truth unless it is proven otherwise.

that Democrats should be pushing, is for a comprehensive FBI investigation, not an investigation by the NY Times.

Also, keep pushing the fact that most of Kavanaugh's writings have been kept secret, they need to be all exposed, what are Republicans hiding?

His allegations are too extreme for them, but they will have him on to express them.

I don't know how to copy tweets or I would do it!

His client will interview with the FBI to describe how she was victimized, what she observed, will disclose multiple additional witnesses, disclose further evidence and will take a polygraph test!

Here's his twitter page:
