'Don't interrupt me': Michael Avenatti wipes the floor with Alan Dershowitz and

his poor record of accuracy

https://www.rawstory.com/2018/07/dont-interrupt-michael-avenatti-wipes-floor-alan-dershowitz-poor-record-accuracy/

“I have a question for Michael Avenatti,” Dershowitz said. “How do you know there are other tapes? You’re not in a position where you could possibly know that properly. How do you know there are other tapes involving the president of the United States? Are you privy to what was seized from the office [of Michael Cohen]?”


Dershowitz says Avenatti is right about the tapes at the 7:55 mark in the video on ABC, after his hissyfit over Avenatti knowing about the tapes.

Is Dershowitz privy to what was seized from the office of Michael Cohen?

Watching Michael "tune in" Dershowitz and make him shut up was good clean fun ! Also watching Michael talk about his "evolving relationship" with Cohen will make Spanky very very nervous. Watch for Spanky to lash out on Twitter later today.

And the other guy, ummmmmm, I think it was Seth A.

Apparently only Republicans can bend the law and rules and regulation in their own image.

I actually really like him. He's a very bright guy. I used to see a lot more of him when I lived in NYC.

I loved how the two of them made Dershowitz look like an old has-been grasping at anything to stay relevant.

One meeting at cohens office. No great leaps of faith is needed to say more tapes exist. The only ones that may excluded are ones that have Cohen admitting to crimes he did.

Enough for him to say "You're right about it and you shouldn't have the information." That was "Verrry interesting" to me.

So...Cohen's past practices have included taping conversations. The fucking moron knew that Cohen did this (his standard MO) and is surprised there may be MORE tapes? Avenatti "ran into him during lunch in NYC" is what is even more "interesting". Tons of "guests" on the cable news shows have been talking with Cohen all the time...Donny Deutsche,Tom Arnold, Rev. Alan Sharpton, and Avenatti. How many times has Alan spoken with him recently?

Avenatti Is not saying Cohen has other tapes, but that there are other tapes. He should have asked if the others tapes belong to Stormy Daniels?

He probably knows a lot more about Michael Cohen's practice than just the tapes. He or someone close to him has probably seen a list of the materials produced to the court in the cases involving Cohen and Avenatti's clients. The privileged logs. That's what I mean.

“Please don’t interrupt me,” Avenatti shot back. “My accuracy rate over the last six months has been spot on in this case. And let me tell you this. If I’m wrong, then why don’t we have Mr. Trump or his attorneys come forward today, right now and claim there are no other tapes. You’re not going to hear that because there are other tapes. Period.”
