Stormy Daniels current attorney Michael Avenatti has alleged that her first attorney Davidson was more interested in fixing a deal with Cohen than representing Ms. Daniels, specifically she charges

Davidson of "working closely with representatives for Mr. Trump while pretending to advocate on her behalf."

Now CNN is reporting that there are tapes of phone conversations between Cohen and Davidson

The source said Cohen recorded some calls he had with attorney Keith Davidson, who at the time represented both Daniels and McDougal. Davidson no longer represents either woman. Their deals to keep their stories about alleged affairs quiet are now the subject of litigation, with each seeking to be released from their agreements.

rhymes with saluting, protruding, brooding, duding, feuding, snooding, alluding, concluding, deluding, denuding, detruding, eluding, excluding, extruding, exuding, including, intruding, obtruding, occluding, precluding, preluding, protruding,

I just can't quite put my finger on it.
