Michael Avenatti, the anti-Trump lawyer for porn star Stormy Daniels and Kavanaugh ‘gang rape’ accuser Julie Swetnick who is considering a run for the 2020 Democrat presidential nomination, had a meltdown on Twitter right after Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) singled out Swetnick’s incredulous allegations and followed by announcing at the end of a 45-minute Senate floor speech she would vote in favor of the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.

Avenatti went on a Twitter storm, including several he deleted, ranting against Collins and then attacking reporters.
“.@SenatorCollins is channeling Donald Trump. Entirely disingenuous and shameful. Where was she when Judge Garland could not even get an up or down vote? This is all about her post-office job opportunities on K street. We shall never forget. Not in Nov. Not in 2020. Not ever….@SenatorCollins should be ashamed of herself for attacking my client and Dr. Ford. How did she make a credibility determination as to my client? How is she qualified to do that without ANY investigation? She did ZERO to determine whether my client and her witnesses were credible”

Avenatti unleashed on Rachel Bade, who pointed out that Democrats did not want Avenatti getting involved in the Kavanaugh nomination battle.
“THIS is why Democrats did NOT want Michael Avenatti to get involved in this fight. Collins is specifically citing Swetnick’s “gang rape” accusation as something that made her think she needed to give Kavanaugh the benefit of the doubt.”

Avenatti deleted his first reply to Bade, but not before it was documented.
“Complete garbage. How many times did she discredit Dr. Ford at the same time she bogusly “defends” her. And you blaming my client from coming forward is outrageous and scares other women into remaining silent. If you think my client was the reason for the “yes” you are naive.”

Avenatti posted a replacement tweet to Bade, attacking her and NY Times reporter Maggie Haberman, “Exactly. I should have turned my back on my client. Told her to “shut up” and stay quiet because people like @rachaelmbade and @maggieNYT apparently believe assault victims are to blame. This line of thinking is disgusting and offensive to all survivors.”
A clearry unbalanced Avenatti attacked more reporters in tweets, and then deleting. He initially replied to CNN’s Kyle Feldsher, who had posted, “Hard to state how much Avenatti’s entrance into this process hurt the Democratic effort to bring down Kavanaugh’s nomination,” “So you are staying that I should have turned my back on my client. Told her to “shut up” and stay quiet because people like you apparently believe assault victims are to blame. This line of thinking is disgusting and offensive to all survivors.”

Avenatti replaced the deleted tweet to Feldsher, writing, “You are right. I should have turned my back on my client. Told her to “shut up” and stay quiet because people like you apparently believe assault victims are to blame. This line of thinking is disgusting and offensive to all survivors. And it makes lawyers not want to help them.”

UPDATE: Avenatti returned to attacking Collins, “.@SenatorCollins does not have the judgment to be a US Senator. She never met my client, never had her interviewed, never met the 6 witnesses supporting her declaration or had them interviewed, and never cross examined my client. And yet she made a credibility determination. How?”

And more from Avenatti, “.@SenatorCollins did not attack me, she attacked my client. A woman who came forward as a sexual assault victim. And she attacked Julie and “shamed her” without any facts and no investigation. This was a disgrace and a gut punch aimed at survivors everywhere.”
