Keep in mind: As Avenatti is going back-and-forth with all this macho posturing, he is also averaging two television interviews per day.

He talks a big game everywhere he goes, claiming often that he has the potential to bring down the Trump administration with One Weird Trick. However, we’ve been at this story since January, and there have few real news breakthroughs.

But don’t expect media to break up with him any time soon. If they’re not ready to cut loose even after he goes full Trump against critical journalists, they’re certainly not going to dump just because his his teased “bombshells” don’t pan out.
