77. "I'm merely stating that they should release the transcripts"

Fri Oct 26, 2018, 10:51 AM

Oct 2018

The transcripts which you insist either must exist, or that they are required to now make.

I'm sorry, but it is a NECESSARY IMPLICATION from a demand that they release "the transcripts" that "the transcripts" exist, rather than her having gone back and transcribed the portion of the interview relevant to the discussion at hand.

If I demand that you give me the five dollar bill in your pocket, then I am also stating my belief that you have a five dollar bill in your pocket to give me.

Again, you seem blind to the fact that (a) reporters don't routinely produce full transcripts of the entirety of their interviews with subjects, and (b) this reporter has apparently transcribed the relevant portion of the interview at length, which Avenatti had categorically denied in the first place.

But, you will give the "benefit of the doubt" to Avenatti, if this reporter does not produce something which in all likelihood does not exist.
