I dont know if Mr. Avenatti is Stormy Danielss lawyer, or if hes the lawyer for #resistance to try to do everything he can to weaken the president. ... The American people are fair, and if there is no proven collusion with Russia that impacted the election, I think they are tired of all the theatrics with this investigation.
Thats Republican strategist Matt Schlapp responding to a rare question Tuesday night on Fox News about Michael Avenattis claim that Donald Trumps layer, Michael Cohen, received some $500,000 after the 2016 election from a company controlled by a Russian oligarch with close ties to Vladimir Putin.
If Schlapp, chairman of the CPAC-hosting American Conservative Union, is correct that the American people arent interested in this revelation, then Fox nailed it with its programming following Avenattis explosive tweet.
While the rest of the media landscape couldnt get enough of the story, Foxs highly rated prime-time lineup pretty much avoided it all together. In fact, according to transcripts cited by Think Progress, the name Michael Cohen was not mentioned once by the trio of Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham.
