Michael Avenatti says: The Dems better play hardball for once and ask themselves “What would the Republicans do?”

Pelosi stunned Washington last week with her decision to sit on the articles -- accusing Trump of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress for his dealings with Ukraine -- as she sought to pressure the Senate to agree to certain terms for a trial. In an unusual press conference last Thursday, Pelosi, D-Calif., defended her decision to hold off, calling McConnell a "rogue leader.”
She indicated the House would eventually send the articles over to the upper chamber but insisted it is up to the Senate to determine how the process develops going forward.


Pelosi has signaled that the House is waiting for the Senate to set out how Trump's trial will be conducted before they determine the next steps, such as designating impeachment managers.
Pelosi doubled down Monday morning, tweeting: "The House cannot choose our impeachment managers until we know what sort of trial the Senate will conduct. President Trump blocked his own witnesses and documents from the House, and from the American people, on phony complaints about the House process. What is his excuse now?"

Now, you might be thinking that surely Michael Avenatti, a trained attorney who is also very well-respected, even revered, among CNN hosts, knows that this is a non-starter. Surely this is just some act he puts on in order to distract from his own woes and trade on being anti-Trump to retain some measure of respectability or fame.
But naw, I don’t think so. He’s really that dumb. Check out his interviews some time, you’ll be impressed by his one-dimensional personality and inability to sustain coherent thoughts. He’s basically Twitter: The Person.
I mean, let’s be real, Fox’s Jeanine Pirro and basically-Fox’s Rep. Matt Gaetz are no brain trust themselves, but even they realize what’s going on here.
Ari Fleischer has the most salient take, which is that this has been a colossal error for Pelosi.
Pelosi is generally a savvy politician. How did she get roped in? Three reasons.
  1. CNN’s relentless cheerleading for whoever is the most radical leftist among Democrats (the Squad) has been more over the top than even MSNBC. The terrible “news” shows, from the first one in the morning with two moron hosts to the last one at night with just the one moron, get heart palpitations and other less savory physical reactions just hearing the word “impeached.” Sort of like the WaPo kids who celebrated Merry Impeachmas and thought they’d get away with it.
(by the way you know who else is hot for Impeachmas? Michael Avenatti. Great company you’re keeping there, WaPo kids.)
  1. The Squad themselves: The radical quartet who have a combined IQ that is almost average have been driving the Democratic debate, and policy, since they got to town. They are social media pundits with Member pin. You cannot convince me they don’t have constituents regretting their vote every day.
  2. She just couldn’t help herself. Savvy politician or not, her radical left roots ultimately drove her to find the idea of putting that asterisk by Trump’s name all too tempting. She felt the power of the media at her disposal, the pull of being forever emblazoned in the history books (or audio books, or tweets, or whatever the squad will have us all using instead of books in five years.)
By the way, you know who will LOVE it when there are no books? Michael Avenatti. That guy loves anything terrible. Which means he probably also beats it, because I hear he likes to beat on things he loves. I mean that’s what I hear anyway. Not on CNN of course, but around.
Anyway and in conclusion, just remember that all this can be chalked up to “Republicans pounce” so don’t worry that they’ll learn any lessons from it or anything.
