There are certain folks who seem to be able to get away with it over and over.

but, I suppose, this is true for many, in all fields.

Put it this way: he is not exactly a friend of thinking liberals, but he is being useful now.

I would like to think of myself as a thinking liberal,
I like that he brings the fight to the enemy at their level
but that is just my opinion

meaning, have we ever heard of him before representing Ms. Clifford?

Letters, web sites? op-ed pieces?

Seems that he likes high profile cases that promote... himself. Which is fine for us now, but I don't know that we will always be on the same side.

"he is not exactly a friend of thinking liberals..."

And do you have anything at all (other than editorial) to support that statement?

Those applauding him are playing into right wing tactics of being bombastic and his Trump like business practices of running up debt and declaring bankruptcy. That's just as silly as your contention.

One can be against his methods without being a Republican. The world isn't black and white, all good or all evil.

It's Goddamn Black and White.. Trump on a daily basis is destroying our country and practically every repub politician at any level is supporting his insanity... It's Black and White .


Good or Evil? It sure as hell is Good or Evil.

Still don't see him as a Prez candidate, but he -- and especially his brave client -- have certainly pressured trump, Kavanaugh, and Senate GOPers. I thought nothing could stop Kavanaugh a few weeks ago, but not now.

the "be quiet and play nice" is getting us nowhere. If you listen to Avenatti he is reminding people of the VALUES that Democrats stand for. Let's be honest. The insiders game was not working because all of Congress is in a bubble. Who is out there fighting for what is fair and right - Avenatti.
