Avenatti is putting his reputation on the line and this woman must be okay with his tactics. rzemanfl Sep 2018 #13

It's a timing thing, he wants to drop a bombshell just before the vote. I'm fine with it. We need Meadowoak Sep 2018 #14

give it a rest already Hermit-The-Prog Sep 2018 #27

No, you're not. He seems like a polished ad for personal injury lawyers. LisaM Sep 2018 #28

He has said consistently that his client will speak out spooky3 Sep 2018 #32

Yes, because personal injury lawyers are a scourge on our society. Cuthbert Allgood Sep 2018 #87
