    Hmm... by trying to spin trump's personal Cohen's corporate payola as "good news" is SHS and the WH admitting they knew of the payola engagements?

    White House: AT&T's Cohen payment shows Trump can't be bought
    http://thehill.com/homenews/adminis...atts-cohen-payment-shows-trump-cant-be-bought

    And SHS and WH, what about the trump moves that benefited AT&T (no Net Neutrality), the moves that benefited the pharma co, and the moves that benefited Vekelsberg? Was trump only able to resist AT&T but went along with the other payolas?

    Still hard to believe these companies only had trump's personal lawyer and and not others... what was someone so far outside the trump admin be able to tell them?

    Wow. If I ever found myself in a tight spot and needed a really good attorney, money being no object, this would be my guy. I think he has been outstanding. I'm not basing that on this "tweet," but rather on his performance, overall, handling this case. Shady, @Astrodome? Shady is the "man" that lies every day to the American people and won't devulge his tax returns. Shady is the fellow who has broken nearly every promise that he made during the campaign. Shady is the guy that changes his positions on issues based not on the facts, but on what he sees as a personal slight. Shady is the person in the White House who has assailed the most important institutions this country possesses.

    Shady is spelled t.r.u.m.p.

    Agreed

    Fortunately, his personal character is irrelevant to his purpose.

    unfortunately it's the only way to combat 'vulgarity'.
    perfect example, one side throwing lewdness around then gets offended by a comedian,
    only for one of their own to think they're a comedian and pass off their lewdness as a 'joke'.

    Can you BELIEVE this failed vulgar comedian, Sadler? so SAD. Her ratings are zero!!!

    all you can do is shake your head at the hypocrisy of it all.

    And is exactly the pit bull attorney Trump wishes he had right now.

    Say what you want about Avenatti but the guy is always on message, easy to understand, always a step ahead in the case, and incredibly aggressive.

    His personality profile actually fits pretty well with the Republican Party’s current state of ruthlessness, messaging strategy, and media manipulation. The Democrats should learn from this about saga and realize that soft spoken politeness isn’t gonna win them any elections or even make the news in the Trump era.

    Which begs the question why Trump has not hired his own Avenatti. Trump reputation of not paying his bills and of not following legal advice probably has prevented this.

    As an aside, isn’t beyond strange that Trump is known for not paying his bills? It is like Trump is not really all that rich after all.

    He is using this to help his career.

    Is he shady? Probably, I don’t like him.... but as shady as Cohen? I highly doubt it.

    The only question I have is, who is financing him? This is getting expensive.

    If you read his twitter feed he tells who is financing him.

    MOAR from his recent post:

    "Once again (for at least for the 20th time) - ALL fees and expenses of this case have either been funded by our client, Ms. Stephanie Clifford, or by donations from our crowdjustice.com page. Please re-read that if you are unclear. Read it again if need be. Keep reading it until you get it.

    Further, no political party of PAC is funding this effort. No left wing conspiracy group is behind this. And no big fat cat political donors are leading the charge. Get over it.
    "

    Obnoxious swag and finger waving in effect. :D

    Interesting, from his home page bio: (bold is mine)
    "While in college and later in law school, Michael worked at a political opposition research and media firm run by Rahm Emanuel (who later became White House Chief of Staff and is presently the Mayor of Chicago). During his time there, Michael worked on over 150 campaigns in 42 states, including multiple gubernatorial and congressional campaigns (i.e. Joe Biden’s U.S. Senate Campaign)."

    So there you go. That's how a high-profile lawyer takes the p*rn star's case against the POTUS and amplifies it to all hell. He lives in a blue state and worked for blues for several years. Don't see how that discredits whatever he turns up, but I'm sure the name Emanuel will be enough for some people. Because, dontcha know, Chicago politics is dirtier than Manhattan mob politics or Russian politics. LOL.
