Avenatti probably timed it that way so that by the time prime time news cycle hits everyone would be up to speed.

big time today. They promoted the Orange Asshole and hoped to capture the same or higher profit levels in 2020.

Is the USA paying attention?

paragraphs 12 and 13. The affidavit itself is news, but they are framing/skewing it, lessening the import (at least for the time being). Sure, they need to confirm--but why pick and choose what parts to read on air directly?

"or bordering on criminal"...

Also waiting. I usually watch MSNBC, but I don't have a problem with CNN's avoiding highly prejudicial words while they wait for more information. We need one standard for the Hillarys and the Kavanaughs.
