The Attorney-Client Privilege seems to be this weed that vibrantly grows in the garden of justice, obfuscating the root systems of due process, for the purposes of either:A. Personal inurement of public office; or,
B. Covering up how the personal inurement of public office was executed and who was thrown under the bus.
I have all intentions of illuminating the salacious dirt & drama, pulling up the arcane legal weeds choking due process by harvesting the bounty from the garden of justice, which has been neglected for so many generations.
In summation...Welcome to Detroit!
Remember, we have all the tools to address those pesky, deep rooted attorney-client privileges.
Avenatti Hits Back Against WSJ Claims Of Stonewalling Feds In Cohen Case

| Michael Avenatti & Stormy Daniels |
"Any media report citing 'unnamed sources' (and not a single document) suggesting we are delaying the investigation into Mr. Cohen and DJT is completely false and without basis," he tweeted Tuesday morning. "We have already waived the privilege as to a host of docs and communications to ensure justice is done."

See below. 1) the WSJ had the story in the closing days of the campaign but sat on it and 2) Mr. Davidson lied to them and conspired with Mr. Cohen in 2016. This is why we have demanded to see all of Davidson's docs for mos and will sue if need be. #Bastahttps://t.co/iCUrQg3VoT— Michael Avenatti (@MichaelAvenatti) May 29, 2018
Michael Avenatti has been frustrating federal prosecutors in their attempts to obtain information related to a $130,000 October 2016 payment made by President Trump's personal attorney Michael Cohen to adult-film star Stephanie Clifford, also known as Stormy Daniels, who Avenatti represents.
Mr. Avenatti hasn’t yet acted on multiple requests from federal prosecutors in Manhattan for Ms. Clifford to waive the attorney-client privilege that prevents her former lawyer from discussing their communications about the nondisclosure deal, the people familiar with the matter said. In April, Mr. Avenatti, acting in his capacity as Ms. Clifford’s current lawyer, sent a cease-and-desist letter to her former lawyer, Keith Davidson, ordering him not to disclose any communications related to her, one of those people said.
Mr. Avenatti made similar demands of Ms. Clifford’s former manager, Gina Rodriguez, who helped engineer the hush-money deal. Mr. Avenatti tried to block Ms. Rodriguez from providing her communications with Ms. Clifford to federal prosecutors until he had reviewed them, other people familiar with the matter said. -WSJ
Avenatti said in an emailed statement to the Journal that Rodriguez's communications with Clifford are covered by attorney-client privilege because she was acting as a go-between for Clifford and Davidson. He also said that he had a right to review the documents and would sue Rodriguez if she would not provide them for review.
“We never told her not to provide documents to the government nor did we tell her not to cooperate,” Mr. Avenatti said.
Law professor Steven Lubet of Northwestern Pritzker School of Law told the Journal that Rodriguez's communications with Clifford would only be protected if they were to convey legal advice from, or giving direction to, Davidson.
Avenatti also denies threatening Rodriguez to enforce at 2016 nondisclosure agreement between the manager and Clifford which prevents the former manager from speaking publicly about her work with the former porn star. “That never happened. Period,” he said.
Given his history of threatening journalists over unfavorable coverage, and his wife's court testimony that he's "emotionally abusive," one has to wonder what Avenatti will say next.Voting is beautiful, be beautiful ~ vote.©
