Stormy Daniels' lawyer posts photo of mystery disc in a safe, teasing a ‘picture’
By Max Greenwood - 03/23/18 07:32 AM EDT


Stormy Daniels' attorney hinted on Thursday that he may have hard evidence that the adult-film actress had an affair with President Trump, posting a photo on Twitter of what appeared to be a compact disc in a safe.

Link to tweet

"If 'a picture is worth a thousand words,' how many words is this worth?????" Michael Avenatti tweeted.

While not explicitly stated, Avenatti appeared to suggest that the disc may contain photographic evidence of Daniels' alleged affair with the president. Avenatti has previously declined comment on whether such evidence exists.

1. Finally . . . a guy who is out-Trumping Trump.

Unfortunately, I'm predicting the firing of Mueller this weekend to take the news away from Stormy and the kids marching on Washington. Maybe Mr. Avenatti will have to show the goods to save the country.

[Cha]

7. Yeah, who says this is a "distraction"? trump

needs to be held accountable for every law he breaks. We can multi-task on all fronts.

Michael Avenatti has style!

[Roy Rolling]

36. So True

He is beating Trump at his own game. Trump's New York schitck may play for the rubes, but this guy is making him look like Fredo.

3. Is that Putin's safe?

[poboy2]

4. Dude is a master troll. Kicking Ts ass is child's play for him. -nt

[Cha]

8. lol@master troll

[mercuryblues]

5. Yesterday he said

trump & co were so easy to manipulate, that it is fun. He has never seen the other side fall apart like this.

Later that day his personal lawyer quit. No one else wants the job.

[Cha]

9. Yeah, I saw somewhere Avenatti said..

.. they've stepped into every trap we set.. lol

[Lucinda]

6. I admire the stones...but they'd best be careful... n/t

[ehrnst]

21. Yeah, I think that you do need it.

It's a pretty ugly smear on HRC, and the mindset you need to think it's funny isn't one that's common here.

Just some advice to a newbie.

[Owens]

10. He really should put that in a bank safe

Wouldn't surprise me if Trump or his administration try to get a warrant to seize that disc. If he puts it in unknown, remote bank safe, the Feds can't get it. Please let there be multiple copies!!

[7962]

14. Oh, I imagine theres more than one copy!! nt

[NastyRiffraff]

58. Of course there are copies!

More then one, and all in safe places. Avenatti is far from an idiot.

Sunday night on 60 Minutes should be VERY interesting. Apparently Stormy can hold her own in an interview; otherwise Avenatti would never let her go on a show that's known for challenging their interviewees.

[PearliePoo2]

11. I'm guessing the 60 Minutes airing on Sunday will BLOW to pieces all previous...

viewership numbers.

It might be on par with the final show of M*A*S*H.

I"ll be watching, that's for sure.

(but I'm also really frightened that he will do something REALLY STUPID on Sunday to divert attention!)

[safeinOhio]

15. Trump is so stupid, he'll try to

take credit for the record breaking audience.

[Ohiogal]

20. Ha Ha Ha

[TheBlackAdder]

24. +1,673,285 Because everything always has to come back to how great he is.

[Funtatlaguy]

28. Im surprised that Anderson Cooper

who did the 60 minutes interview, hasn’t let any details slip to anyone at his regular job at CNN.

[lark]

32. Damn, we planned our vacation at the wrong time!

We are flying out tomorrow morning and will be in Hungary when 60 Min. airs. I am so hoping we'll be able to see this as it airs. We will be in the air or at airports all day Sat. so will miss the march. If we could have changed the dates of our trip we would have, but will be marching in spirit with the teens that have stood up to the gun lobby.

[flygal]

42. my husband hates tv -especially news programs so I was confused when he said he wanted to watch

60 minutes on Sunday. LOL He hates trump more than he hates tv.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

48. I'm guessing the actual content will be a let-down. Not expecting much except hype. . . . nt

[spanone]

12. K&R...

[Achilleaze]

13. Super stanky for republican family-values role model, Dirty Donny*

* aka republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief

[mercuryblues]

22. AKA

presidunce bone spurs

[Buns_of_Fire]

16. This guy is GOOD.

Serving up a heapin' helpin' of paranoia to the most paranoid president since... since... EVER!

[FakeNoose]

18. He doesn't actually say what's on that disc

... he's letting all of us (including Cheeto) use our imaginations. Furthermore we don't know if this will have any place on the 60 Minutes airing. If it's really porn, of course 60 Minutes can't show it on TV.

It occurs to me that Avenatti may be a complete jagoff, does anyone else get that feeling?

[PCIntern]

26. No.

[ProfessorGAC]

27. Could Be A Blank Disc

The point is to make them squirm, i think, and make them realize this is hardball.

Would i be surprised that Avenatti is slime? No, but i've really got no evidence to support he is, either.

Just another lawyer in a high profile situation, that is playing legal poker with the hand he's been dealt.

[TommyCelt]

29. Maybe it'll a jagoff...

...to bring one down.

[Oneironaut]

41. Yes - All parties involved are totally unscrupulous.

However, only one of them is the President (when he clearly shouldn't be).

[azureblue]

46. Nope -- Avenatti

is a very smart lawyer. He has been excellent about getting Trump to dance to his tune, and this is just the next step. Avenatti has so far laid out an excellent strategy of taunting Trump, and it has worked every step of the way. What Avenatti has been doing is baiting Don, and Don bites, every time. Trump knows there are pix. And by showing the possible CD, Don is going to do something else stupid, and cement Stormy's case. By the time they get to court, Don will have all but admitted to it.

No, I do not get that feeling he is "jagoff". Maybe you are confusing smart lawyer tactics with something else..

[poboy2]

47. Furthermore, that doesn't even have to be THE disk. Its just a photo.

The real disk, if there is one, and maybe that is the one -is surely locked away already.
Thats just an inkblot to interpret and make the guilty shit a brick.

Its also quite amusing to watch him play with them like a toy. He's smacking Agent Orange, calling him out.

Its also masterful build-up. 60 minutes will have Super Bowl numbers.


#60minutes #pleasedenyit #basta

[jrthin]

51. NO! nt

[blake2012]

59. He is terrific

[3Hotdogs]

19. 60 Mins should hire the producer for Geraldo's Al Capone safe show.

[Hoyt]

23. Hope she's more revealing than she was on Kimmel, where she was quite coy.

No, I don't want to hear about the sordid details with the vile trump. But I do want to hear about the non-disclosure payments, any threats, etc.

[ehrnst]

25. It's not like DT can diss this just being a pic on Twitter

When he expects his tweets to be the equivalent of being the 10 commandments...

[FSogol]

30. LOL,using the legal principle of driving Trumpy bananas until he self-incriminates himself some more

[EricMaundry]

31. I hope he has copies

Trumplediaperboy might send in the plumbers to fetch it.

[MontanaMama]

33. Lordy

I hope there’s a disc.

[Major Nikon]

38. I'm pretty sure the last thing I'd ever want to see is DT porn

[MontanaMama]

40. Holy hell. I am with you MN

But if it causes the Dotard stress and strife I sincerely hope it is out there somewhere. We don’t have to look at it! We can avert our eyes. 🤢

[Major Nikon]

43. Just knowing that it exists would be painful

[klook]

44. Screen name

"Short John Silver."

[MontanaMama]

45. Silver or sliver???

Maybe we can just call him Nub. 🤮

[klook]

52. Bwa-ha-haaa!

Cadet Bonespurs McNubbins starring in "I Can Assure You There's No Problem."

[Stallion]

54. Trump's dick-pic would likely fit within a mini-cassette

[Evergreen Emerald]

34. "Unprotected sex"

That was the question the polygrapher asked her. The "unprotected" part leaves me to believe there was either a child or an abortion. I wonder what the evangelists would think of that, if true?

[IronLionZion]

39. Evangelicals got their tax cuts

so at some point they will stop pretending to support dipshit and throw him out in favor of Pence. That's who they really want

[Major Nikon]

55. At least he doesn't have to worry about going to hell for using contraception

And since he at least offered to pay her, that qualifies him for the prostitute exception for biblical adultery.

[Kingofalldems]

35. A new superstar lawyer.

This guy is awesome.

[njhoneybadger]

37. Ha Ha

[Louis1895]

49. Blackmail?

Where does one draw the line? I hate the slime around this situation. And, yes, I will probably watch "60 Minutes" on Sunday...

This whole presidency is so bad for the U.S. I wish Donald/David would just crawl back under the rock from whence he came.

[Major Nikon]

56. Not sure where you're getting blackmail

They aren't making any monetary demands from DT.

[Louis1895]

57. Oh, I don't know

I think you can blackmail someone without making a monetary demand. The only blackmail I am really concerned about is that being used against Trump by Vlad.

This whole Presidency is so slimy.

I just wish we were not in this place and that Trump would go away, preferably to jail, because it does appear he has committed some serious and treasonous crimes.

Just when you think it could not get any worse, it does!

John Bolton, for example.

I just feel we will have a national crisis. The response will be a military one and everyone will then rally around our War President! Rah rah flag and everything...

[IluvPitties]

50. I honestly think all of this is a nightmare.

How did we go from drama-free Obama to this tabloid like shit? For me, to be honest, Donald, Stormy, their lawyers and all other porn stars involved in this mess can honestly go to hell. These people should stay away from our government.

[Goonch]

53. The Goods

[Mr. Ected]

60. If he's said it once, he's said it a thousand times

No co-lubin'.

[Tatiana]

61. ****Applause**** Trump has met his match.

Mr. Avenatti is a smart guy. He is, by many accounts, a good litigator (which Jonathan Turley reluctantly admitted), and clearly knows how to use the media to his client's advantage.

[druidity33]

62. CD is resting on a VHS tape?

seems to be the right size, maybe it's a lacquered box, or a journal. Hard to tell as it's black and all in shadow.

[llmart]

63. This could possibly be...

the Dump's "blue dress" moment. LOL Payback's a bitch, isn't it Repukes?

I for one hope it's as damaging and demeaning as hell, because no one deserves to be humiliated, demeaned and laughed at more than this fraud of a president who's squatting in OUR White House. Besides, I've said this before, I would love it if the person/people who bring this ass down are women.

[malaise]

64. Delish

I mean really delish

[oberliner]

65. What did this turn out to be?
