Stormy Daniels’s lawyer on Sunday said President Trump is in “panic mode” after realizing his personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, is in trouble.

“Mr. Trump realizes he's in a lot of trouble, and he's in panic mode,” Michael Avenatti told CNN’s Jake Tapper on "State of the Union."

Avenatti’s comments came shortly after the National Enquirer, a tabloid that has been friendly to the president, wrote a cover story going after Cohen.

The National Enquirer is owned by American Media Inc., which is chaired by Trump ally David Pecker.

1. Avenatti is just made for this moment

Understand, the Sunday talk shows ... we have a lawyer for an adult film actress as a mainstream guest

This would never happen 30 years ago

2. Neither would have Trump

Or country is in turmoil, on a regular basis.

3. Don't forget that Avenatti has an agenda

Granted, Avenatti is on our side at the moment (my enemies enemy), but he's currently working for Stormy Daniels and as such he'll say and do what's necessary to get the best outcome for her. Granted, I hope he's right and furthermore if he can push Spanky over the edge more power to him, but I'm not putting a lot of stock in what he says about Spanky.

4. "What Comey didn't reveal in his book." :D

It's funny: the National Enquirer is a print version of Fox News.
When I was growing up, the NE was considered more like a comic book.
What does that say about Fox News?
And yet many people watch it all...day...long.

5. I agree w/ you...the NE is a joke and I viewed it as such...

However, what I don't like, is the fact that they brought unflattering stories about people and then hushed them up. Not to provide in newsprint or for stories for publication but for cover-up purposes. This is fraud I would think from an IRS viewpoint, e.g., under what expense category would you place this expense? The 'Pu**y' account? I would think that potentially all of these NDAs (Non-Disclosure Agreements) and the like need to be all examined closely to ensure that (1) underage minors were not involved (or they were, and adults stepped in as agents of the minors, illegal cover-up); (2) illegal act(s) of all kinds;

7. Could the N.E. also be guilty of end run around campaign laws?

Same thing...different person

[SWBTATTReg]

8. It does make one think, eh? I think so (illegal acts), in covering up these crimes ...

that a voter should know.

9. +1

6. This will be fun to watch

10. Did you notice - Trump passed polygraph, etc?

What fucking bullshit. drumpf could not pass a polygraph test, he's too undisciplined to train himself not to react. Being reactionary is all he does, so this is a total lie from the publisher

[getagrip_already]

11. pathological liars can pass lie detector tests...

they show no guilt, stress, or emotion when they lie. To them it's the same as telling the truth is to others.

Doesn't mean anything with trump.

[Dave Starsky]

12. Exactly. Polygraphs have been widely discredited.

But all that aside, the thought of Donald Trump sitting still for an hour with a blood pressure cuff on his arm and a band around his chest, all the while being peppered with questions in an effort to "clear his name", is preposterous.
