Even as Michael Avenatti has come a long way in exposing the corruption of Donald Trump and Michael Cohen, the lawyer for Stormy Daniels indicated on Saturday that he’s just getting started.
In a discussion with MSNBC’s AM Joy, Avenatti said that either Cohen and the companies who funneled money into his shell company should come clean to the American people, or they’ll be outed – by him, of course.

Avenatti looked straight into the camera and said:
If folks want to continue to hide this stuff and cover it up, I think it’s fantastic. Because I’m going to out them, okay? We’re going to out them. We’re going to bring all of this stuff to light. So if you’re out there and you have stuff relating to your relationships with Michael Cohen that you’re concerned are going to come out, you should be concerned because they are going to come out. So you better come clean with the American people. You better try to get out in front of this, period. And that’s a stern warning this Saturday morning.
As I wrote this week, Michael Avenatti is proving to be a bigger nightmare for Donald Trump and Michael Cohen than anybody had expected him to be.
The central reason he’s such a thorn in the sides of Michael Cohen and Donald Trump is that when he makes threats like he did on Saturday, he always comes through with the goods.
Rudy Giuliani continues to be a “train wreck” for Trump-Cohen
Rudy Giuliani pushed back on the latest Michael Cohen controversy, telling the Huffington Post on Friday that Trump knew nothing about the payments.
“Whatever lobbying was done didn’t reach the president,†Giuliani said.
Avenatti scoffed at Giuliani’s comments, claiming the former New York City mayor has no credibility anymore.
“I hope [Giuliani] keeps talking, because every time he talks, our case gets better,” the adult film star’s lawyer said. “This guy is a walking train wreck.”

Of course, it’s easy to lie when you don’t think anybody has evidence to expose your lies.
Every step of the day, though, the attorney for Stormy Daniels has shown that he has an arsenal of evidence he plans to use systematically to expose this web of corruption.
If the president and his joke of a legal team had any sense, they would come clean now. Michael Avenatti has proven himself to be a man who doesn’t bluff.
