Stormy Daniels hired an impressive attorney.

I have seen Michael Avenatti several times now. He was just on MSNBC with Nicole Wallace. He is measured, soft spoken, and seems very intelligent with a lot of trial experience. Daniels made a good decision in hiring him.

Michael Cohen, Trump's lawyer, looks like a clown compared to this guy.

1. He is brilliant!

2. All of Trump's lawyers, at least the ones that have been flapping their gums

on TV, make Jimmy McGill look like Clarence Darrow. Maybe because the smart ones know better than to work for him - he's an impossible client who won't listen to any lawyer's advice, and then probably stiffs them on their fees.

3. He has had lawyers who sued him

for not paying them.

4. Some of his lawyers wouldn't meet with him alone.

In a deposition under oath taken in 1993, one of Donald Trump’s lawyers said they always tried to meet with him in pairs “because Donald says certain things and then has a lack of memory.”

5. I agree

I have been watching this attorney on the Ari Melber show and other appearances. He is a very good attorney

[Justice]

6. I would say he is a trial lawyer - far more used to ins and outs of evidence and procedure

Not just a lawyer. He is in the courtroom and knows the strategy.
