If anyone knows of a parent that has had their child taken from them at the border and not returned, please have them contact me as I am entering this fight. This outrageous conduct must be brought to an immediate end. #Basta

1. Commendable.

Another guy who puts his money where his mouth is, but he must be independently wealthy.

2. Share please

America deserves better than this shit !

I never thought a day would come I'll wish someone to be lynched ! It is exactly what I dream for that Miller bag shit !

To be that "Strange Fruit" swaying along a branch !

3. I don't see the words "pro bono" anywhere.

Not to be snarky, but I think there are any number of lawyers who would represent such parents if the price were right.

5. Sounds incredibly snarky, to be fair. Anyone in that position won't

have money. Yes it's good pr for avenatti, good for him.

People are judging him as you would a public servant, he's not. He's a private citizen, running a business, and making great hits on Trump
Enjoy.

6. Hi OnDoutside

I understand your point.

Maybe it's not as selfless as it sounds, or maybe it is.

I'm old enough not to believe in fairy tales, but I'm playing the benefit of the doubt card.

To speak the truth, I think he's 99% honest. For the remaining %..., well we are human...

However, he already has significant media coverage and pugnacity. This is exactly what separated families need. So I just take without question.

7. Hi syringis, my only point is that people are judging him by the standards of public servants. He's

a private citizen getting at the right, and he's got fantastic results so far. As long as he isn't breaking the law, more power to him. It's just unfortunate that people on our side rush to take pot shots at him. If he was going for public office then a different standard should be applied, but until then, more power to him !

8. I agree on this

This is why I said "volunteers".

All volunteers are welcome in tough times.

[OnDoutside]

9. Exactly. And if that changes, then I'll be there to criticise. As has been said, Trump hasn't

gone after Avenatti/Daniels, and been forced to take hit after hit. How bad !

11. I don't see mention of fees

Maybe the organizations getting donations can help him with expenses. Believe it or not law offices do not run on air. There is paper ink postage fed ex etc.

4. Then Avenatti tweeted this:

"Stephen Miller: Congrats, the separation policy that you sold to your boss Mr. Trump will result in images that will crater you both. We will ensure you will never escape them. In your fascist zeal, you forgot that mothers are mothers first, regardless of their politics. #Basta"

10. He's good for this. He has a voice and he uses it well.

People will no doubt say alkyds of things about his motives but they'd do that with anyone. He's able to get a lot of attention and he won't be shy. Good for him!
