3. Avenatti

is quite clever. Every time his TV appearances drop off, he releases another bombshell. Making it impossible for the media to go into amnesia mode. He is keeping this front and center.

I'm loving it.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

6. Avenatti is playing the media like Trump does, only better.

After a while Trump became a one act pony, and the wall-to-wall coverage of him subsided. Avenatti has the ability to keep the ball in the air day after day.



All Trump has to do to make this end is to drop his civil case against Avenatti's client, according to Lawrence O'Donnell. That would make him look weak, however, and if there's one thing we know about Donnie Two Scoops, he refuses to look weak.

4. No guilt whatsoever.

7. Avenatti throws another clue:

In 2017-18 - Why was Mr. Cohen paying Demeter Direct Inc. in Los Angeles large sums of money from his Essential Consultants LLC account? Keep attacking me Mr. Giuliani and @foxnews. Please. #Basta

9. Yeah, that ones down, but a tweeter found a cached website:

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t know WHAT the hell’s going on, but it sure is FUN!!!

11. Wish Avenatti would give us another clue. I'm stumped here.

[Leghorn21]

They look...busy!! But I sure dunno!!

[triron]

16. Could it be a 'shell company'?

[Leghorn21]

21. I guess so, but I honestly don't know how all this works, t!

Demeter Analytics is a KOCH business.

AT&T is also connected as well as MANY Corporations that were listed on DEMETER .

I showed it here:

This is about to blow up & the lead to all this came from the FBI's Cohen raid.

[Leghorn21]

28. Yeah, saw that, W - I ADORE Spicy!!! - but this is a different derivation of "Demeter", right, so I

saw this and said, oh, I am so done here, and will keep checking her tweets till she explains all this to a mush-brain like me!!

Thanks though, W!!

(Ha ha, Lawrence O’Donnell’s producer Kyle Griffin just said, “Man, I’m gonna spend the rest of the night decoding Avenatti tweets, aren’t I??!”).

30. I LOVE this stuff!!! And ck out the BASTA Tee shirt selling on Ebay!!

Ok. This guy has just made it fun again..
Trumpkins are all crappin their undies, ya know.
Lololol

[Xolodno]

31. Hmmmm....buying leads?

A company's expansion abroad can rise and fall over political issues and cost "bigly". Paying them to have access to their companies they consult while he promises those companies access to the fake President perhaps? Corporations fully know that even in the US, political corruption can cost them if they are on the wrong side...much more so internationally.

A $100 bucks says Bolton may have been a factor in reneging on the Iran deal, and Obama another....but bet your ass, Dump was looking to make money off of it...and not enough signed off for him to make a profit.

[Leith]

15. Giddy, Yes

Guilty, no.

It's a hell of a lot of fun to see bullies faceplant in what they dish out.

[Duppers]

23. My feelings exactly.

Trying to decide how I'll celebrate when Trump is frog-marched out.

[W T F]

17. If you paid $200,000 to Trump's lawyer to get a better understanding of his administration..........

Then it sounds like you already understood his administration.

[RandomAccess]

19. BINGO!!! You win the internet today, AFAIC

[Scurrilous]

25. Nailed it!

20. Frantic rats scurrying, knowing that smoke will soon be pouring down their rat holes,

and forcing them out into the open, hacking and squealing, shielding their eyes from the light of day.

Smoke 'em out, Michael!

22. He and Stormy Daniels are now our national treasure

who would have thought. Huge respect to both for their courage.

24. Soundtrack time

Got this song from a Daily Kos. Applicable.

[Blue Owl]

27. Springtime for Trumpler

[Ferrets are Cool]

29. I keep wondering when the investigation is going to show that

money was paid by the networks. It's not far fetched to think they paid for access or influence.

[GeorgeGist]

32. Draining the swamp sure is fun.

When you're not from Dumbfuckistan.

[BobTheSubgenius]

33. It occurred to me that the kind of taunting he does could be dangerous for him.

He must be VERY confident of his position, both legal and PR-wise.

[dameatball]

34. Trump's playbook is to distract. Avenatti's playbook is to focus. One piece at a time.

The effectiveness of Avenatti's drip.....drip......big drip......drip campaign is not entirely to give us complete answers. It is designed to counter what Trump does best.....which is to deflect and draw attention to other things. Avenatti is masterfully countering that strategy. He is also defining the arguments.

[bucolic_frolic]

35. I find it curious

that none of the Republicans except Giuliani (who was hired to do so) go after Avenatti. It's almost as if he's got something on all of them!
