My advice to Michael Cohen: DO NOT hire Michael Avenatti as your lawyer. He doesn’t have your best interests at heart. To the contrary, he would use you to advance his own ambitions.
That became obvious by Avenatti’s own statement on Joy Reid’s MSNBC today. Asked by Reid whether he’d represent Cohen, Avenatti said:
“The only way that I would agree to do that is if I had 100% confidence that Michael Cohen was ready to do the right thing: fully disclose what he knew about the President, and if he sought my assistance in bringing that information to the American people and divulging it all: putting it all on the table.”

Michael Cohen would be making a huge mistake by hiring Avenatti as his lawyer. Avenatti makes clear that he would only use Cohen to attack Trump. Avenatti could care less if that would harm his client Cohen’s interests.
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
Avenatti is reaching Gloria Allred type status of an ambulance chaser.
Agreed, and his statement is so egregious. He wants Cohen to agree in advance to publicly divulge everything he knows about Trump, even if that would run counter to Cohen’s interest.
Avenatti thus violates his duty to his client. Outrageous. Stay away from this guy, Cohen: he’d only exploit you and sell you down the river on the altar of his own ambitions.
And yet Cohen has not been charged with any crimes. But who cares, speculation is just as good as facts, right?

The tree of liberty is parched. This nation will be a much better place after the deaths of tens of thousands of traitorous lawyers, including the ones who have become politicians and judges.
Soon he will need to represent himself and he isn’t doing so good with representing ol silicone tits.
He still owes the IRS a few hundred thousand dollars. He should maybe focus on that.
It is the duty of a lawyer to steer his client clear of violating the law.
It is a great abuse of trust for a lawyer to secretly record his client, most especially in the hope of getting the client to agree to commit a crime.
Of course, no payment was made and no violation of law was made by the client.
And even if payment was made, it would be in connection with the election of electors, which is governed by state law under the Constitution.
Also at the time, Trump was considered by almost all reputable experts to have no chance of winning. At that time, Trump was really only exercising his rights to political speech.
Also, these campaign finance laws seem to only trip up outsiders and are almost certainly unconstitutional.
The FEC has the default duty to investigate possible federal campaign finance violations. Possible violations are by default federal law outside of DoJ and Mueller’s reach. The FEC could ask for DoJ assistance, but I don’t believe it has, probably because FEC enforcers would be out of jobs that require only six months of work every two years if campaign finance law is declared unconstitutional.
He is a mean ugly-a$$ bastard. Exactly what the democrat party loves so much. He’s even meaner now, that his whore client lost her bid for fame.
Wait, I thought we were being outraged over the Putin summit? When did we turn the page back to the porn lawyer?
“fully disclose what he knew about the President”
Avenatti couldn’t give his services away free to me.
Proving what I always suspected: lawyers are insane.
Avanetti has an ethics problem. Soliciting another attorney’s client...with a promise attached...
I don’t see how Avenatti would be any worse than Lanny Davis, the Clinton ass-kisser who now represents Cohen.
So now being Blackmailed by a Whore and recorded illegally is a crime? Trump told lowlife Cohen to make it a Check so they had a record...NOT A CRIME
Cohen may be at hazard of disbarment, regardless of state of NY’s one-party recording law.
HRC would offer him Secretary of State if he would turn on Trump.
Why would an extremely successful top of the game lawyer like Cohen hire an ambulance-chasing bottom feeder like Avenatti? Is this a joke?
