Regarding Avenatti, this Politico article was informative. I particularly liked:
Evidence of frequent heavy binge drinking is, in fact, evidence of getting black out drunk. He behaved in a manner that leads to black out frequently. This is evidence that he has been black out drunk.
Also, do you seriously believe that there was no alcohol consumed on that boat trip? The guys only, male bonding, boat trip where afterward he reminded everyone to keep things confidential even from wives. This wasn’t a boat trip in Utah.
a prosecutor in a trial is supposed to make the accused person look bad, not the victim. I guess if you are a hired gun you can reverse those roles. Just like a lot of former prosecutors become defense attorneys.
The reality tv president is the perfect person to give a new meaning to “Sweeps Week.” When Mueller is ready to report it will be exactly that, or maybe “Dual flush Docket”
Well I certainly hope the Republicans have vetted this lawyer, because the second she’s named this is all gonna be about going back to kindergarten to discredit her.
Yeah, I’d have to agree with this. This is pretty good evidence that he has in fact gotten black-out drunk. How long ago was this? Must be somewhat recent. Getting black-out drunk is somewhat understandable in a college student. As a 40+ year-old man, it’s worrying. Is he an alcoholic?

Never, mind–I see you said it was 2001. So he would have been in his early 30s?
A man in his early 30s should not be getting blackout drunk.
I have been on a boat trip in Utah and even a boat trip in Utah isn’t really a boat trip in Utah.
They could easily spare her this fate by sacking up and doing their jobs instead of outsourcing the dirty work to this woman.
Stop. You lost this argument. Now you’re just looking foolish.
But if you want to dig the hole deeper, list the possible reasons (that don’t involve alcohol) that he can’t remember a dice game at which he became belligerent. I’ll get some popcorn.
Oh I’m not saying she’s a damsel in distress. I actually hope she ticks every intersectional box in the book. The Dems blew the “old white men!!” horn way too early and loudly for this to go any other way.
Right, like how will they live with themselves if their spineless desire to avoid bad optics leads to her being the target of death threats and stalking?
I’ve been on a LOT of boat trips in Utah. None of them had any alcohol aboard.
which one?
I doubt that that’s how this will play out. She the old white men’s ventriloquist dummy at best. If she goes after Ford like a pit bull, they’ll be an the hook for being mean to her with an added dose of looking like cowards for farming the job out.
They think this going to play better for them than questioning Ford themselves, but they are probably going to be wrong about that.
This is why I think you’re basically unqualified to judge these alcohol allegations.
“It is from this experience that I concluded that although Brett was normally reserved, he was a notably heavy drinker, even by the standards of the time, and that he became aggressive and belligerent when he was very drunk.”
It is inconceivable that this guy never got black out drunk.
“INCONCEIVABLE!” “I do not think that word means what you think it means”
…conceded. You make an entirely fair point.
So his alleged alcoholism makes him unqualified to judge, but my non-alcoholism also makes me unqualified to judge?
