Lawyer Michael Avenatti tweeted Thursday that he is ready to cooperate with a Justice Department investigation into himself and client Julie Swetnick as soon as "tonight."
His tweet, directed at Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), came hours after Grassley announced he is referring Swetnick and Avenatti to the Justice Department for a potential criminal investigation into whether they made false statements to Congress about Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh
"@ChuckGrassley, let’s start the investigation tonight," Avenatti tweeted on Thursday evening. "I will make my client available for a sworn interview and you can make Judge Kavanaugh available for a sworn interview."
"We also have 9 other witnesses we want interviewed and specific documents we want requested," he added. "Let’s go."

Avenatti represents Swetnick, who last month made a series of shocking allegations against Kavanaugh during his confirmation process.
Swetnick in a sworn affidavit claimed that Kavanaugh in the 1980s attended parties where women were gang-raped. Swetnick said Kavanaugh engaged in a pattern of exploitative and non-consensual behavior with girls at those high school parties.
Multiple news outlets were unable to corroborate her allegations, and they were treated more gingerly than the sexual allegations against Kavanaugh from two other women.
Grassley on Thursday said that in addition to making false statements, he is asking for the Justice Department to look into whether the two sought to obstruct his panel's investigation of the allegations against Kavanaugh.
"The law prohibits such false statements to Congress and obstruction of congressional committee investigations," Grassley wrote. "For the law to work, we can’t just brush aside potential violations. I don’t take lightly making a referral of this nature, but ignoring this behavior will just invite more of it in the future."
Roy Cohn without the charm or smarts.
“and you can make Judge Kavanaugh available for a sworn interview.” Kavanaugh has already given his sworn interviews bimbo chaser.
“Avenatti tweeted on Thursday evening. “I will make my client available for a sworn interview and you can make Judge Kavanaugh available for a sworn interview.”
Uh no moron. Criminal investigation. You don’t call the shots.
How deceived does one have to be to be that corrupt and think you’re not?
What an arrogant dink.
oh, don’t worry mike. it’ll start soon enough.
Grassley made a criminal referral. One of many he's made. So CPL's opponent is no longer Grassley. He's bluffing at whoever will be prosecuting him, I assume the DOJ.
I have a feeling, if a decent DOJ guy (our side) takes up the referral and gets their teeth into his case, his theatrics won't have much of an effect other than to piss them off.
That sounds legit.

Which means that it would be best if they take their time with the investigation and be very thorough.
They should investigate him and his client for as long as Trump campaign people are investigated.
What a deadbeat ...lock him up.
Swetnick already perjured herself under oath. That will be dealt with first.
