WASHINGTON (AP) — Michael Avenatti wants to be clear: He does not bluff.

A year ago, the attorney was in the closing days of a jury trial, facing off against a company he had accused of making faulty surgical gowns. When the other side questioned his plans to bring a plant manager in from Honduras to testify, Avenatti hopped on a plane to Central America to persuade the man to come to Los Angeles and take the stand.

"We did our homework. We did what we needed to do. We put him on on a Friday afternoon. And it was devastating to the defense," said Avenatti, who went on to win a $454 million jury judgment.

A take-no-prisoners litigator armed with sharp suits and a seemingly endless supply of trash talk, Avenatti is now using his signature mix of force and flash to go after President Donald Trump on behalf of porn actress Stormy Daniels. With a Trump-style media blitz, Avenatti has pursued the president relentlessly, taunting him in interviews, baiting him with tweets and putting him on notice with a motion to place him under oath and depose him.

Daring Trump to underestimate him, Avenatti, 47, says this case is a natural fit for a "dragon slayer" who has spent his career trying to help Davids fight Goliaths.

So far, the say-anything president has been conspicuously quiet on Daniels, though the White House says he denies her claims.

Pull the plug, already.

Why doe these p*ssies describe themselves as “street fighters” when you know they’d wet their pants if someone on the street so much as looked at them sideways?

Why the pretend macho? Because they know they’re really useless P.O.S.s?

Starved for attention, the Porn Star’s lawyer puts out a PR newswire which the MSM dutifully reprints.

Well, judging by the pathetic incompetence of those Ivy-trained attorneys who wind up in politics, he doesn't sound like much of a threat.

Wow
Avenatti, takes on a small company and wins a few million.

Yawn.

This is the big league. Tell me when he wins billions and I might be impressed.

He maybe from a Ivy League school but he playing a two bit hustlers’ game.

Sounds expensive. Wonder who’s paying his freight? Wonder if Stormy will have to pay taxes for the gift of his services?

So it was OK for Bill Clinton to let a whore conquer the White House, but it is not OK for Trump to eject such whore from the White House.

All you need to know about feminism: whores and rapists in the White House are us

Because these magt@ts are like Bill Clinton. Blank shooting losers incapable of seducing women by being real grown men. So they heard from the devil that lying, cheating, using force to rape or coming to America illegally makes them the street fighters who will acquire via thug tactics what they could not do as real men.

Of course successful gangsters are a mix of street and gentleman honor recognition and these useful idiot gangsta are slated for massacre

This is a CNN mini-series produced by them, IMHO, to promote sweeps. So instead of the bottom below MSNBC rated performance, they can get above MSNBC and be next to the lowest.

What sucks more than Stormy Daniels — why CNN of course.

Just like they do with Democrats or John McCain.
