@MichaelAvenatti
Note: (a) not all of our evidence will be mentioned/displayed tonight that would be foolish; (b) we are not sure what CBS will include but we know a lot from the full interview will have to be cut bc of the time allowed; (c) tonight is not the end its the beginning. #basta

(18,837 posts)The differences are:
1). Avenatti's tweets include correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation
2). Avenatti's tweets are calm, rational, well thought out and concise
3). He is displaying confidence in whatever facts he has, rather than blindly stabbing around with "many people are saying" nonsense
4). He's not "calling out" Trump, he's not engaging him. He's simply defending his client, fearlessly.
5). He knows WHO and WHAT Trump is, and is not intimidated by any of it.
This all adds up to Trump's worst nightmare.

Trump has got to be beside himself.

(4,407 posts)I think the interview is just to lay the groundwork for a defense based upon a motive consistent with the public interest. Just the "why" -- she wants the public to know what the President is really like, not just that she wants to profit.
Miles Archer
(18,837 posts)He's right. Because if he did, Trump would immediately scramble to "lay the groundwork for a defense."
He just needs to offer some credibility regarding the existence of "evidence." He doesn't need to lay 100% of the evidence out there on Sunday, and he won't. It's going to be a taste, not the whole meal. That's the game that has to be played with Trump.
As far as I'm concerned, if she profits from it, more power to her. After all, Trump is currently profiting from being "President," emoluments clause be damned.

(4,407 posts)but they need to lay a legal predicate to break the NDA. That will be to argue the NDA is contrary to public interests.

(153,193 posts)the main goals for Ms. Daniels are MONEY and ATTENTION - please stop acting like she wants us to know what he is really like - SHE COULD HAVE DONE THAT BEFORE THE ELECTION

(32,748 posts)I'm certain she's trying to get her own TV show out of this, and it probably will happen. Wouldn't be surprised if her lawyer is already pitching it to the cable networks (or Netflix).
Her photo is plastered on every newspaper, magazine and blog for the last month and a half. The big payoff will be tonight on 60 Minutes. America is salivating.
Just sayin'

(153,193 posts)if she seriously cared about anything else, she would have spoken up during the presidential campain
she makes me sick
brettdale
(12,384 posts)That statement, was for the public, to lower expctations, to basically say....
NOTHING of worth will be shown tonight, but hey keep watching.....
Daniels Lawyer, is the new Gerardo or maybe hes the new mensch of Taylor, whatever
he is, Trump shouldnt give a shit about him and is not worried.
Oh well at least I can catch up on some chores.

(12,384 posts)No bombshell, no hard hitting evidence.
Just a boring interview with a woman who said she had an affair, and
maybe a video of a lie dector test.
Heck Im not going to even follow the official thread on DU, if there is one.
Skittles
(153,193 posts)when is everyone going to see this?
brettdale
(12,384 posts)That trump and the media will have a field day with this.
One can only hope, after this non event of shit happens tonight, people
will go back and discuss what Mueller is doing.
Anderson Cooper should be ashamed, CNN should let him go, for being used
by a lawyer whos trying to make his client famous.
Again this statement today was for the viewing public and no one else.
Skittles
(153,193 posts)she WAS silenced - by money - WHEN IT REALLY COUNTED
it's all about HER - she is DISGUSTING

That said, when Ms. Clifford talks about her job, she sounds a lot like...Trump.
It's easy to see how the two of them "allegedly" got together.
We're all gonna know what she has to say in about 8 minutes.
