Reconstructing shredded documents eh? The FBI is very thorough. That's why it's never good when they raid you. Could be just a bunch of delivery menus and love letters, who knows. We're gonna find out though. Where there's bagmen, there's a trail.

Of the little snippet I saw, First Princess looked rather solemn. No fake smiles for the kiddos

My God, thank you FDF for what is BY FAR the best summary of what happened in this trial today that I've seen anywhere.

That depends. How many years of paper and digital files were seized? Across how many platforms?

As an example an Excel spread sheet, embedded in a PDF, then emailed, and printed out would be four separate docs. The full PDF, the email, and the print out would all be duplicates once they were combed through, examined, and collated and compared. The original spreadsheet would also likely also be discounted in the end if it matched what was ultimately embedded. So those four documents would be reduced to one.

but were Cohen's tapes of Trump theorizing that he'd tap that?

Agreed. It was a bit much.

Id rather listen to avenatti talk any day over Trump or Cohen. The Stormy case is complicated, Its not just the $130k payment. You ve got Daniels former lawyer colluding with Trumps lawyer to the detriment of his client.. My hunch is all those NDA s Cohen negotiated are going to be proven useless as attorney client priv breached and the next big explosion will be the Elliott Brody deal with the playboy bunny will come undone when it comes out that the abortion was sought for Trump as the baby daddy and not Elliot Brody. Trump supporters are going to have a hard time swallowing that one, me thinks. I dont blame Avenatti for trying to bury Trump as the public is getting restless waiting for Mueller. Avenatti is an american hero and he is helping speed up all the dirt about to be aired..

Thanks! That’s nice to hear

I want to speculate for a moment that perhaps Avenatti slung all his bolts at Conald Junk Laundry Shoppe, Inc., and is now content to enjoy the remainder of the set-piece from the Derp State Witch Hunt Headquarters, aka, CNN.... occasionally shaking a sprinkle or two of Left Coast shade on the proceedings. That's my unofficial "law-splainer"

Avenatti? More like Avehotty. This man is the sexiest gadfly attorney I've ever seen.
