Michael Avenatti thread

The Big Dog said:
The LA Times and other media outlets are pressing for the release of the transcript and tapes of the hearing (which of course should have been done in open court in the first place)

Recall that this whole bankruptcy mess started with a very shady involuntary bankruptcy filing in Florida, that one can be sure thirsty did not at all completely orchestrate.

Lets get these spread wide: #releasetheBKtapes!

TBD could prove definitively all the negative things he says about Avenatti and it wouldn't make Trump his hero, the president, any less sleazy or any less corrupt. It wouldn't make Avenatti's story about Trump any less true or less important.

I concede to The Big Dog that Avenatti is interested in publicity. I concede that part of his motive is promotion. I concede to The Big Dog that Avenatti is trying to expose a public government official and his fixer while at the same time trying to keep potentially embarrassing personal legal issues private. As hypocritical as TBD says that is, it pales in comparison to his own hypocritical evaluation of character and morality.

The rest of us can clearly see his faux outrage and are amused by it. His double standard over Avenatti demonstrate an amazing dearth of intellectual integrity. How does one make post after post about Avenatti and his bankruptcy and ignore Trump's 6 bankruptcies? How does one complain and focus on Avenatti, a private citizen wish for a limited amount of privacy and defend a candidate and government official supported by the Christian Right paying off woman after woman for illicit affairs?

With the Big Dog It's one tu quoque fallacy and false equivalence after another.

A few hours after barring the media from his bankruptcy, Thirsty was bragging about getting an invite to a Democratic party in Iowa that is widely considered a precursor to a run for President.

I bet the multiple time felon that helped orchestrate the filing of the involuntary bankruptcy, that was also locked down tight as tick with Michael "transparacy" Avenatti's NDA's, is going to be the belle of the ball shortly.

Thirsty is Thirsty to become the democratic candidate for president.

These truly are salad days.

Well, this is the USA Politics thread. Maybe if you could explain what political significance this has, it would be a lot more interesting. For example, Donald Trump is a scumbag, but it wouldn't matter if he wasn't debasing and disgracing the office of president, intentionally doing a lot of long-term damage to American institutions that are vital to a democracy, and generally ******* up everything he touches. There are a lot of Republican scumbags who would be irrelevant except that they are using their power in Congress to enable and protect him. Get my drift? Why should we care about "the fact that Avenatti is a scumbag?"

I thought that same thing when this was started. What the hell does this guy and his personal life have to do with USA politics? In fact, I think I'll report my post and try to have this moved. It makes no sense being in this subforum.
 
Avenatti himself spoke to federal district Judge Catherine E. Bauer, saying about his former partner, "They want to embarrass my law firm. They want to embarrass me."

After more than an hour of answering questions behind closed doors, Avenatti told CNN, "I'm all for freedom of the press and open access. But everything has its limits. My personal financial dealings and that of an old law firm are of no relevance and, you know, we're not going to be leveraged by other people who are trying to get famous and take advantage of the situation."

Isn't there a saying that people who live in glass houses should not throw stones?
 
Not so long ago Thirsty wrote:

"When history is written there will be no doubt as to whether I contributed to and defended 1st Amend values. None."

And for the first time, I fully agree with Michael Avenatti, there is no doubt as to whether he contributed to and defended 1st Amendment values:

Avenatti most certainly did not contribute to or defend First Amendment values.

Consensus!

Apparently the judge agreed with him. I also have issues with political candidates buying silence.

I'd love there to an exemption to NDAs involving political candidates and or public officials. The moment a person files to run for office or is appointed to political office or takes an oath of office all such NDAs become null and void. Also anyone who agrees to sell a story about a political candidate with the intention of that story being published which is not published in a timely manner may sell it to another publisher. That would eliminate the catch and kill tactics that American Media and others applied.

Tobin, 48, whose police record in Central Florida includes narcotics and burglary cases, declined to speak with a reporter outside his house in Orlando.

“I’m not disclosing any information to anybody,” he said.

Avenatti later sent The Times a statement from Tobin. Reached by phone, Tobin declined to say whether he’d signed it.

Minutes after The Times told Avenatti that Tobin would not confirm making the statement, Tobin emailed to say that he stood by everything in it.

Me too. I see no felony convictions listed on his Wikipedia page. Aren't there Bar rules preventing felons from practicing law? Hmmmm. Something tells me TBD is deliberately exaggerating (another term for lying) Kind of surprising that a Trump sycophant would engage in deception and disinformation.

Perhaps a retraction is in order?

So, not a felon? And not a multiple time felon?

Avid readers will be shocked, shocked I tell you.

cool Rule of So.

Bit bewildering that you seems to be intentionally misrepresenting the article I provided. But thanks for doing so I that may continue to crush the thread with facts and third party objective sources

here's another one:

He's a convicted felon whose rap sheet is 15 pages long and spans four decades, according to court records. He served time in prison in the early 90s and was arrested on domestic violence charges as recently as February. (He pleaded not guilty and the case is awaiting trial).

Seems like a fine upstanding young man... well compared to Avenatti anyway.

dream thread.

let me see if I understand this, you thought that Michael Avenatti signed a NDA with himself?

Read this in Count Rugan's voice: I think that's the worst thing I ever read…how marvelous.

salad days!

Oh, so this is just preliminary character assassination, just in case he does? Seems like there should be brighter blips on your radar. I have a feeling that our candidate will be a woman.
