Surely it’s Mr. Cohen who is the professional hack on behalf of vice.

Jeeze, I’d LOL if this weren’t so serious.

It’s the dossier all over again. If anything in it, no matter how irrelevant to the fundamental claims, can be found to be at all shaky, then the implication is the whole thing can be dismissed. It’s ridiculous and they know it’s ridiculous. It’s playing to the crowd when it’s the court they have to worry about. But like Josh says, pounding the table is really all they have. The essential conspiracy is effectively standing there, on stage, in the spotlight, with its pants around its ankles, looking pretty foolish.

Not OT, really!

This attack is not going to work. Avenatti has out trolled these mooks from day one. Avenatti will take this on the road (to MSNBC and CNN) and use it to beat them over the head. It is past the point where these fools can use the old playbook and hope to avoid trouble. They are in such deep trouble right now there is no daylight left for them.

What if… the leaked SARs came from someone on Team Trump? They leak everything else.

That’s actually a really good thought, since it seems like Dump wants to throw Michael Cohen under the bus. I think you might really have something there.

Just thinking…
If a porn star and her lawyer have kompromat on the president and his lawyer, how likely is it that they are not the only ones?

Before this is over, Michael Avenatti may come to be remembered as this era’s Daniel Ellsberg.

"creating a toxic mix of misinformation,” Cohen’s lawyers said in the filing.

Hilarious! Pot definitely calling the kettle black on that one.

Storm’s a coming baby, Storm’s a coming.

Dear TPM: Headlines matter. “Poke holes” implies that Cohen’s lawyers have disproven something, when all they have done is claimed something. “Disputed,” “denied,” “questioned” would all work — “poked holes” is inaccurate or premature at best.

Earlier today, it was “WH swats down questions,” again implying that the WH was successful or had disproven something, when again, all they did was was deflect and deny.

Words matter.

@george_spiggott To me, it looks a picture of Alec Baldwin posing as him. I think he just got confused and thought it was a picture of himself.

Perhaps Sean Hannity could host a round-table discussion with all of these parties to seek out the truth?

I’m sure Michael Avenatti wouldn’t object.

Yes, thanks. I didn’t think that Cohen’s lawyers were that adept at poking anything.
