In the bizarre alternate universe we exist in now that Donald Trump is president, what would have previously been explosive is now almost mundane. Not only is Trump under investigation for colluding with a hostile foreign power, he’s also under the hammer for his entanglements with porn star Stormy Daniels.
The Russia investigation is headed up by Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller, a veteran of explosive cases like the prosecution of Enron executives. Like Mueller, the lead lawyer for Stormy Daniels is proving to be incredibly tough and deliberate.
Here he is battling it out with Trump’s lawyer’s lawyer, David Schwartz:

Who is David Schwartz? According to POLITICO, he’s just a little obsessed with Donald Trump:
‘David Schwartz sent an email Thursday detailing his firm’s “storied relationship” with Trump, whom he has represented since 2010. “It has been the thrill of a lifetime to work for this man whom I have grown to respect and admire over the years, and I believe he deserves a chance to succeed as our President,” Schwartz wrote, noting that he and his partners started the website “Should Trump Run” ahead of the 2012 election, setting the stage for his 2016 presidential bid.’
Schwartz’ grift is paying off, to the tune of $500,000 in lobbying profits in 2017 alone.
Despite his experience with Trump, Schwartz is outmatched by his opponent, Stormy Daniels’ lawyer Michael Avenatti. Perhaps its the fact that Schwartz’ legal career has been lobbying and promoting politicians, while Avenatti’s has actually been in high-stakes litigation.
Avenatti is not messing around. Today, he tweeted:
Can someone please ask Michael Cohen to call down to central casting again and order up a new hack to speak on his behalf? I’m bored with batting around David Schwartz. #neednewchallenge #basta

The rest of Twitter jumped in almost immediately:
All the other Cohen thugs are tied up working out plea deals with Mueller

It’s so laughable how scared @realDonaldTrump is of @StormyDaniels. Like, @foxandfriends is scared to report on the weather now out of fear they’d have to read the squall line currently moving through TX as stormy weather.

You batter him about like its playtime, not your job. It's hilarious.

Schwartz thinks he wins every interaction because he yells louder.

Avenatti knows how to play this game. I'd be worried if I was Trump and Cohen.
— Individual 1 (@1984Mikae) March 28, 2018
It’s really telling and laughable that Cohen can’t speak for himself.#Coward

And deprive us of the only humour this sideshow provides? That’s not very nice – sarcasm.

They are pretty much all the same. Trump surrounds himself with men he thinks are just like him. He thinks he is smart, tough, and good looking lol
