Michael Avenatti: I am excited to announce that I will be leading a large resistance rally in Texas

[demmiblue]

I am excited to announce that I will be leading a large resistance rally in Texas at the exact same time of Trump’s (details tba). All groups are welcome to join. We must fight fire with fire and we must send a message that we will fight to make America America again. #Basta

Thank you for being a part of the resistance, but please don't run for POTUS.

1. Thank you for being a part of the resistance, but please don't run for POTUS

From your lips to God's ear. Please.

[JHan]

2. "please don't run for POTUS" - agreed ++++

Let's see what he has.

[leftofcool]

[steventh]

19. Me too.

I'd vote for him.

[Ohiogal]

4. I do like the idea

that he's holding a resistance rally at the exact same time as Dump's. We ought to be holding more rallies. Don't let the Deplorables get all the attention!

7. Even If He Runs, He's Not Going To Win

I imagine he has too much baggage in his past. But he's not someone bad to have on our side.

[Brother Buzz]

11. He would serve as a useful stalking horse

Nothing more, nothing less

[leftofcool]

15. How do you know he has baggage?

20. Feds target Avenatti over old firm's unpaid taxes

U.S. government lawyers are slamming one of President Donald Trump's most prominent critics, attorney Michael Avenatti, over nearly half a million dollars in unpaid federal taxes owed by his former firm.

22. we shouldn't imagine there are any political motivations in the filing

...this is an old story. Adequately responded to by Avenatti, in the article posted.

There hasn't been even a hint of noise about this since it hit the tubes.

23. Stormy Daniels' lawyer Michael Avenatti's firm hit with $10 million judgment in bankruptcy court

A firm led by Michael Avenatti, the lawyer for porn star Stormy Daniels in her suit against President Donald Trump, was hit Tuesday with a $10 million judgment by a U.S. bankruptcy court judge, the Los Angeles Times reported.

That's separate from the unpaid taxes.

25. "Completely different law firm - no ties to Daniels case."

..."Irrelevant," Avenatti said in an email.

"Over blown. Sensational reporting at its finest. No judgment against me was issued nor do I owe any taxes."

________________________________

"It is politically motivated and they have their facts all wrong. I owe nothing personally," said the pugnacious lawyer, who sprung to national attention earlier this year for his aggressive advocacy on behalf of former porn star Stormy Daniels in her legal showdown with Trump stemming from an alleged sexual encounter in 2006.

Avenatti did not elaborate on the political element he sees in the tax action, but Shariff works for U.S. Attorney Nicola Hanna, a Trump appointee and former federal prosecutor confirmed to the job in April.

Not sure why this is considered 'baggage.'

Avenatti is disputing the debts right now. At some point this wealthy man is going to resolve these claims. So much about nothing.

[oberliner]

26. No one is saying it is relevant to the Daniels case

It is a different firm from his current law firm but it was still his law firm.

Could be potential baggage for him - or not.

Personally, I would prefer we went with someone who has held elected office.

[bigtree]

8. I've wondered what the effect would be of organizing huge counter rallies where he appears

...or if it's something that's actually actionable.

[handmade34]

9. ...

[SharonClark]

10. He said 'leading' not 'organizing'

Interesting choice of words.

[targetpractice]

13. What are the "(details tba)"!?!?

Does he know something about to happen?

[leftofcool]

16. He wants to coincide with a Trump ralley

[targetpractice]

18. Thanks, leftofcool! ... I should read more carefully. n/t

[WhiskeyGrinder]

17. Meh.

[jmbar2]

21. I'd love to see him run just to get into the debates

...not really to win. He has a way with words, and is good at demolishing bad logic.

[Leghorn21]

24. Maybe NOW IQ45 will tweet-stomp Avenatti??! He's on the back nine about now I guess, but

I’ll be waiting for a nasty reply from LOSER45!!!

Starting...

NOW!!!

[oberliner]

27. How did this go?

Anyone have photos or details?
