“They suggested that I had had a liaison with multiple women in Russia,” Stormy Daniels’ lawyer says, citing three sources—but no documentary evidence.

Michael Avenatti, the outspoken attorney for porn star Stormy Daniels, says the Russian government is trying to smear him in the press. Avenatti told The Daily Beast that people in the Kremlin have been trying to plant damaging stories about him in media outlets.

Avenatti did not offer concrete proof to support the claim, but said two media figures and a high-ranking American intelligence official have all told him about the alleged Russian effort.

“They’re doing it because they see me as a threat, a considerable threat,” he said. “If we weren’t a threat, none of this would be happening.”

Avenatti’s client Stormy Daniels is currently embroiled in a legal battle with Trump’s former longtime lawyer, Michael Cohen. She is looking to get out of a legal agreement she signed weeks before the 2016 election that bars her from discussing an affair she says she had with President Donald Trump. Trump denies the affair, but admitted to authorizing a payout to Daniels.

1. He's a threat to a key Russian employee (Trump). It's to be expected.

I'm sure Avenatti will handle this situation with his usual skill. However, this is where physical danger becomes a real possibility.

4. Both Avenatti and Stormy take the daily threats they're getting VERY seriously.

They are spending a LOT of money on security right now.

There's also two women that have come to Avenatti (which he has vetted as being credible and truthful) that are telling similar stories of affairs with BLOTUS. One woman is now so scared (after seeing what Stormy is going through) that she says no way she will come forward.

Avenatti said the other woman is considering it but she's presently "on the fence". He's trying to convince her to tell her story too.

I can certainly understand their fear. Stormy found that out when the thug threatened her in the gym's parking lot with her infant daughter in the back seat. These criminal thugs play for keeps.

Man, I hope Avenatti, the Feds, Mueller and the Court of law takes all these fuckers out.

2. This is what I would expect from someone who isn't guilty of the accusations

As opposed to NO COLLUSION!

3. Uck, Mr. Avenatti

Other "voices" have my attention. A sex scandal does not factor in my ultimate desire to take down IT and his sycophants. They are un-American pie holes.
