Michael Avenatti : "Donald Trump Jr. will be indicted before his birthday on 12-31-18"

Dude seems sleazier by the day. Didn't he challenge DJT Jr. to a UFC fight the other day? Trashy as hell. What ever happened with his Kavanaugh accuser besides muddying the waters and emboldening the GOP because he didn't produce anything?
He doesn't indict anyone. Mueller would. Presumably he's going off some inside info he knows, I guess? Or just talking out his ass (I hope not).
I didn't know Avenatti has the power to limit the scope of that investigation.
I don't know why, but this gets me every time.
Also for the other posters...how exactly did Swetnick blow up in his face again? Or did the FBI and Senate just ignore it?
Yeah I know. I mean he shouldn't be dropping Twitter takes that he most likely can't back up.
Ya didn't hear ? It's his fault the GOP are fine with a rapist on the scotus
Donald Trump naming his son after himself is the least surprising piece of information in the universe. I'm only slightly surprised he didn't go full George Foreman.
Exactly the entire investigation was a sham they never even followed up with Ford.
He named one of his other kids after the alias he used to spread BS about himself so he came close.
Who says the charges would come from Mueller's office and not the SDNY?
Remember, that is who Cohen has been yapping to.
The mainstream media didn't even pursue it because of how weak a witness she was.
I expect Mueller's American indictments to be revealed in mid/late November and think Jr will be indicted eventually...but Avanetti has no way of knowing this for sure. He has a source in Mueller's camp? Doubtful.
I don't think the first wave of American indictments will target Trump's family.

The guy has a record of calling his shots and nailing them. If this does happen though, Mueller will be fired immediately.
I'm more inclined to believe him based on his previous Manafort statements but a Donald Trump Jr. indictment would necessarily come out of the Mueller probe and that is a leak proof ship so I don't know where he'd be getting his information.
Best guess? Manafort has some information that his lawyers believe will lead to an indictment of Jr and they shared this with Avenatti.

Seriously, this whole "Avenatti fucked the investigation by bullshitting" narrative is revisionist bullshit peddled by the media trying to both-sides Kavanaugh.
He delivered. FBI didn't bite and the GOP is increasingly treating him like an enemy. Stop falling for the spin.
I believe plenty of media pursued it but after it was known that she wouldn't be part of the investigation, she got lost in the shuffle.
Anyways this guy exposed Cohen which is a huge boon to his reputation. He has credibility but let's see what he comes up with next.
I like his take no prisoners attitude with Trump.
How so? So you don't believe Ford either because nothing came of the Ford allegation either. Did that blow up in the Dem's face?
The idea that he "delivered" is just as revisionist. He delivered a signed affidavit from Swetnick. That's not evidence. The FBI couldn't bite because their investigation was intentionally limited. So he neither delivered nor undelivered. I imagine this isn't the last we'll hear from Swetnick via Avenatti either.
It's a little different based on the validity of the allegations, and it may have.
People found their scapegoat as usual, it's not the Republican party, the actual culprits.
He was pretty clear that Republicans in the SJC voting for Kavanaugh were going to regret it the next weekend, suggesting that he was actually going to release some more damning info. Now, I expect he held off on doing that in hopes that the FBI would be contacting them for the investigation, but at some point it should've been clear that wasn't happening. Then the report came out and he had no bombshells like he'd promised.
Obviously, I don't know what was going on behind the scenes, so maybe his clients decided it was a lost cause and to stop fighting or something, but he has a tendency to tease things that may get derailed or delayed. I'm all for him dropping bombs, but he needs to wait for them to be primed and ready next time after the Kavanaugh debacle. Don't tease us with months away possibilities.
Avenatti is getting more out there by the day. The Swetnick thing was a disaster for him.. now he's challenging Trump's to MMA fights and even using Trumpisms in his tweets (more or less).
This statement might end up being correct, but in this day and age even if he's wrong he can deflect it like it was nothing. That's politics in this day and age.
Dude seems in full campaign mode now. This was never about anything but himself it seems.

As much as I loath the idea of Avenatti being some progressive mascot, I will defend him here by pointing out that whatever information he may or may not have released is going to depend entirely on his client and any potential ongoing case. Avenatti may be a slimey media hungry lawyer, but by all indications he's also incredibly loyal and sincere for his concern of his clients. He won't compromise the future of Swetnicks case by releasing information in a haphazard way.
