You're absolutely right but as much as I wanted him to lead the war against Trump...There always was something IMO, was a little off about him.. physicality is one aspect...Some of the things I can not even pin point...and that I agree is a lousy good argument.. I'm just saying!

Daniels in that bar in Ohio

We will find out soon enough

Supposedly, his ex-wife has said the charges are false, and she is the alleged victim

Michael Avenatti, who skyrocketed to fame as a critic of President Donald Trump and the lawyer for porn actress Stormy Daniels, was arrested Wednesday and booked on a felony domestic violence charge, Los Angeles police said.

The victim in the case had visible injuries, according to Officer Tony Im, a police spokesman. But Avenatti slammed the allegation as "completely bogus" in a statement released by his law firm.

Avenatti, who has said he's mulling a 2020 presidential run, was being held on $50,000 bail, Im said. He was arrested around 2 p.m. Wednesday on the same block where he lives in a skyscraper apartment.

Police declined to provide any details about the victim, including the victim's relationship to Avenatti.

In that case, get the popcorn out. Jacob Wahl with Surefire intelligence is claiming to be involved.

He's been separated from his wife for several months. His law firm dissolved and he's in debt. He took some questionable clients, irritated the heck our of trump (deserves credit for that), and started thinking of running for Prez. Now, he may have been involved in a domestic incident with a girlfriend.

My immediate thought is another Alan Grayson, but it's early I guess.

are a bit questionable and Daniels is going to require some expensive legal work without much chance of getting paid, he's been burning the candle on media, he's irritating the heck out of trump (which I really like) with the risk that entails, and maybe worse.

Do you just want to discount the woman, or put her through hard-nosed interrogation?

You don't know the facts. Allow the facts come to light.

Admittedly, the donation only set me back a pint bottle of really good bourbon, not a lot.

she ain't got it and Avenatti can't afford to work for free. He owes a wad to his law partner and probably wives. He's hurt Daniels in this whole bit, except for some publicity (that is probably lucrative).
