This Cohen raid is turning into a circus.

It's a completely lawful raid, and now we get standard defendant legal challenges.

Avenatti is like a circus act. One of the reasons he is well situated to take on Trump in the court of public opinion.

Avenatti keeps telling nothing but the truth. If I ever need a lawyer I'd hire him. I find him calm. cool, and confident in his case.

And this makes me wonder why you disparage him.

I should have elaborated. Mea culpa. It is my understanding that Trump's lawyer wasn't prepared to argue her case and asked for a short continuance. She is saying Trump is invoking executive privilege. And Avenatti apparently wants to argue his client Stormy Daniels should be a party to the proceedings since she is a defendant in a civil suit brought by Cohen.

The attorneys representing Cohen and Trump have very good reasons, mostly CYA, to file motions like this.

The judge, court stenographer, bailiffs and other court support staff have my utmost sympathy.

This doesn't mean I don't completely agree with your learned assessment of the situation.

I advise us all to enjoy she coming s--t show since there's no way we can stop it.
