Yesterday, I wrote about two subject that have now merged. First, I wrote about how NBC News reported that the FBI had been wiretapping Michael Cohen's phone lines and had overheard at least one phone call between Cohen and the White House. That story was retracted a few hours later by NBC. It seems that all that had happened was that the FBI had the metadata from Cohen's phones; it knew the numbers that called him and that he called and the duration and time of the calls. That's all. It was a major embarrassment for NBC and the unnamed sources upon which it relied for the bogus story. Second, I wrote about the lawyer who represents Stormy Daniels and his reprehensible behavior. Now, as I said before, these two stories have merged.
The Daily Caller published the details of what Avenatti (the lawyer for Daniels) said on MSNBC after NBC reported the Cohen wiretap but before NBC retracted the phony story. Here's an excerpt:
It was “a fact” investigators had a wiretap on Cohen, Michael Avenatti, a lawyer for Daniels, claimed — hours before MSNBC’s correction.
“I don’t think we’re going to find out that this was confined just to email or voice wiretaps. My understanding is that they were also wiretapping text message communications for the weeks leading up to the FBI raids,” Avenatti said on MSNBC, where he appears frequently.
“I’m not speculating; that’s a fact,” he added.
Avenatti believed investigators obtained information from the wiretap suggesting Cohen planned to destroy evidence relevant to the case, Daniels’ lawyer told MSNBC. And because of that, he said investigators decided to carry out a raid of his properties.
“I also think that it will ultimately be disclosed that during these wiretaps, the FBI learned of means by which Michael Cohen and others were going to potentially destroy or spoliate evidence or documentation,” Avenatti continued.
So Avenatti went on MSNBC and was obviously lying. He was giving details about wiretaps THAT NEVER HAPPENED. The guy is a disgrace.
