Almost like his time in the spot light is up and he is trying to grab the next big thing

2. I don't trust people who complain about him being visible on many shows.

That complaint shows there is no substantive objection. Do we really want people who fight for us to be less visible?

It's ok if you don't trust me, not a big deal since we aren't buddies or anything.
My point is the host is questioning him as if to ask why he is there and he is combative. She seemed to out and out call his bluff that he acts like he is relevant to the case when he is not. He still wants to hang on to the spotlight, but his clients don't really fit in THIS story. He doesn't have to be on TV every single day, he can have a week off while we talk about spies and such. But do go ahead and have him talk about everything under the sun if you want, not a big deal.

in the "personality/character" area. It's why I laughed when somone started the Avenatti for Pres talk. His character is not that much better than Trump's.

He does understand publicity, etc. Stormy appears to be doing well lately. Not sure how she was doing last year, but now she seems to be touring and filling the strip clubs.

8. His character is "not much better" than trumps? Humm. He doesn't lie. He fights for children

who have been separated from their parents and women who are victims of powerful men. If by "not much better" you mean "he's trump's polar opposite", and it's just opposite day for you, then okay. Otherwise, I can't see any similarities between the two.

So, that gives me great pleasure. I'm not raising any political banners for him, but I do applaud his current efforts, including getting involved with the immigrant crisis.

10. I always have faith that someone very talented will emerge on our side

Then I question my thought. And then they emerge and renew my faith.

I look forward to his interviews.

11. To me, Avenatti is sort of a "bull dog" but I'm glad he's on our side

Too bad we don't have more like him.
