"Later in the interview, Avenatti called Cohen a “thug” several times.
“You’re a thug,” Schwartz hit back before questioning why CBS’ “60 Minutes” did not air a lie detector test with Daniels."
“No puppet, no puppet. You’re a puppet!” Trump during the debates.
I am sensing a pattern here in their debate strategies.
I caught that last night too, I don’t usually watch CNN, I was channel surfing and stopped when I saw Avenatti. Avenatti demolished that Schwartz guy who was flailing about like a fish out of water and could not sustain one second of self control from interrupting Avenatti constantly. Schwartz embarrassed himself, bigly.
Why was Stormy Daniels threatened in the first place? She had a one-time fling with Trump. Was she talking about it afterwards, and Trump wanted her to keep quiet (while he continued to have other flings)? What is it about her that has Trump/Cohen behaving badly?
It’s like the flying monkeys–Trumpworld seems to have a near-infinite supply of blustering, lying, vulgarian thugs. It’s almost as though he feels some sort of affinity with that type of person.
Preshitident Manslut-Peehooker, Iwank and Melaria Trump should walk on to the White Hole garden and hold a press conference saying that the Preshitident was whoring around, threatening women and paying hush money with their approval. Many politicians and their wives have done this before.
Robert Mueller is conducting his investigation professionally out of the media glare and driving Donnie ape shit! MIchael Avenatti is representing Stormy Daniels professionally (for the most part) in the media glare and driving Donnie ape shit! Donnie is boxed in! Ya just gotta love it! The corrupt facade is crumbling.
The entire Trump apparatus is completely outclassed and outgunned. They’re the only ones who haven’t figured this out yet.
This is on the undercard for the main event in Vegas (Stormy v. Trump, weight class super heavyweight).
I guess I remember that and was going by what she said on Sunday. Okay, it makes sense, but why did she change her story?
Edit: Thanks for the link. I do remember all of that. Seems like years ago. So much going on. There’s definitely something going on here though.
Ah, yes. I need to keep a notebook or something.
Playing to an audience of one?

Maybe even as many as three years. Why the fuck bother?
Avenatti comes across a bit like Perry Mason to me.
“That’s not the last picture----buckle up!!”
hahahaha
Did Schwarz meet Cohen at Cooley Law School?! Man, they are dumb and dumber.
Yup, this matter is going to be settled in (or out?) of court, not on a cable news show. CNN is just scrounging for ratings. I remember when Ted Turner unveiled 24-hour news; how the mighty have fallen. I blame Fox for creating a race to the bottom. Surely there are more newsworthy items than listening to lawyers yell at each other.
I was interested in his different styles. He’d talk to Schwartz in his own “ay-whatsa-whatsa” dialect and then turn away, smile derisively, and his manner, diction, everything would change and he’d be the highly educated, sophisticated big-time smoothie killer.
Schwartz is the kind of guy who spews spittle when he talks. I felt for Toobin having to sit right next to him. Hope he had a box of kleenex handy at the break.
No question there are,…but, one of those lawyers has the president* of the the US by the balls, and is squeezing them. From all appearances it is a vulnerability that tRump can’t dismiss out of hand, so it is a matter of significance. Along with EVERYTHING else.
The man has definitely got his shit together!
ETA: As I noted last night, someone who’s spent hours in a noisy, uncomfortable race car hauling it down from ca. 200 mph, with headlights in the mirror and taillights in the windscreen, is not going to be rattled by the likes of Schwatrz, or Cohen. Although I did see a vein on his temple swelling as the discussion went on.
