Not my blessing. They have escaped judgment in this life, but not in the next. I pity them.

"list of financial demands in exchange for covering up allegations of misconduct"

But...but...isn't that what Stormy and the McDougal woman were doing?

This is not going to work out well for Avenatti’s client, either.

And, let's not forget Avenatti's roots.

Avenatti worked at The Research Group, a political opposition research and media firm run by Rahm Emanuel, former chief of staff for Barack Obama and current Mayor of Chicago.

Remember this?...Kavanaugh “rape victim” was represented by Avenatti

Avenatti Disaster: Gang Rape Accuser’s Boyfriend Just Blew Her Credibility Apart

The ex-boyfriend of Julie Swetnick, the woman who made the bizarre allegations this week that Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh participated in gang rapes, says Swetnick is not credible and claims he has evidence to prove it.

The ex-boyfriend is 63-year-old Richard Vinneccy, a registered Democrat.

Vinneccy told Politico that he dated Swetnick for four years, but in 2001, Vinneccy ordered a petition for injunction against her because she was clearly unstable.

“Right after I broke up with her, she was threatening my family, threatening my wife and threatening to do harm to my baby at that time,” Vinneccy told Politico.

“She’s not credible at all,” he said. “Not at all.”

Vinneccy also said he can prove she lied about her accusation.

“I have a lot of facts, evidence, that what she’s saying is not true at all,” he said.

Swetnick’s bizarre accusations were published on Twitter by her attorney, Michael Avenatti. The accusations include Kavanaugh spiking drinks at parties and engaging in gang-rape activities.

Her accusations go back as early as 1980, which would have made Kavanaugh 15 at the time.

Avenatti was not happy to hear about his client’s ex-boyfriend.

“I am disgusted by the fact that the press is attacking a sexual assault victim,” he said.

For some reason, Avenatti claimed to not know about the restraining order filed by Vinneccy despite previously claiming he had vetted her.

“I don’t know one way or another,” he said when asked if he knew about the restraining order.

A more cynical person might think Avenatti knew about the restraining order but hoped that Vinneccy would never come forward.

Now the cat is out of the bag and Avenatti’s first instinct is to use the weak defense of claiming Vinneccy is “victim blaming.”

However, it’s not “victim blaming” if Vinneccy really does have evidence to prove there was no “victim” to begin with.

We don’t know for sure if Vinneccy has the evidence he claims he does, but we’ll find out after he is able to speak with an attorney.

“I would rather speak to my attorney first before saying more,” Vinneccy said.

Vinneccy’s claims doesn’t bode well for Swetnick’s “gang rape” allegations.

I know a former lawyer at a big-time firm known all across the globe. Yeah - go up against a firm that has hundreds of in-house lawyers - not real smart.

Not that they won all of their cases, but for something like extortion?

I recall one case he was on - maybe a year or more, with the last few months out of town.

“So how did it go?”

“We settled out of court. We came to a compromise and we are happy, and they are happy, so I guess it’s good. But, it just feels like such a... well, a compromise!”

Isn’t that what Congress does, pay people off so they keep quiet?

I am seeing items saying that Mark Geragos is in this also. That would be an awesome twofer!
