Michael Avenatti is a true maestro of the media, mainstream and social. This morning Trump went off the deep end on Twitter reacting to a story in the New York Times about his relationship with his lawyer, Michael Cohen. Trump is depicted as an abusive boss to a doting, desperate to please Cohen. Naturally, fake news and witch hunt featured prominently in Trump’s return tweets and here’s Michael Avenatti’s two cents worth:
As I predicted, panic has set in at the WH. So much so, that we now have bogus tweets aimed at kissing Mr. Cohen's a** and giving him a false sense of security and friendship with the hope that he doesn't tell the truth and bring the house of cards down. Too little too late.

My Dear Friend: Don’t you remember how I demeaned you to others and made you look like a fool? How I always over-charged you for the real estate? How I never defended you? How I abandoned you when I won and blew you off? Now that is true love Michael, and you know it! Now shush.

Meanwhile, Roger Stone and Sam Nunberg, both quoted by name in the Times piece, are both saying that they don’t know nuttin’ bout who the “drunk/drugged up loser” was that Trump referred to.
Just spoke to Sam Nunberg moments ago, asked him about Trump's cryptic tweet about a "drunk/drugged up loser who hates Michael" quoted in Maggie's story.
Nunberg: "I have no idea who POTUS is talking about so I have no response."

Roger Stone, quoted in NYT story blasted by @realDonaldTrump this morning, tells @pbpost Trump's mention of "drunk/drugged up loser" was "Not a reference to me. Beyond that I have no comment"

No, it couldn’t possibly have been a reference to Stone, who was banned from twitter for one of his drunken, explosive rants not too long ago.
Meanwhile, Michael Avenatti is spearheading a cause celebre and he knows it. Yesterday Michael Cohen was given until Wednesday to file a declaration in U.S. District Court explaining why he should be allowed to invoke the fifth amendment, a privilege which Avenatti points out Cohen has constructively waived by having gone on CNN right after the raid.
Michael Cohen is ground zero in Trump Russia.
