I'd love to see the authority they cite for that.

You're literally responding to a tweet that gives you a link to the filing.

A little sparky today...

Shit happens when you respond to the lead tweet without pening the thread.

Sorry, it's Friday, and it's been a loooong week!

It's all good...

What do they gain by keeping Avenatti out?

Not only is generally granted but has been granted to
@MichaelAvenatti in other cases previously. You can smell the desperation of the Cohen Camp from here....Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

On that logic, Cohen attorneys shouldn't be allowed to defend him in the
@MichaelAvenatti filed Daniels California Courts cases.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

This is a new one to me: "Mr. Avenatti also published... factually accurate information regarding Mr. Cohen’s banking transactions that had no lawful source." Great argument - "yes, it's true, but how does he know?" /s

My guess is they don't expect to win but are trying to force Avenatti to reveal how he obtained the information and have it ruled inadmissible - which would be a huge victory. But Avenatti has the law on his side as long as he didn't steal it somehow.
-
The problem is, the person (a long time law enforcement person) has said it was him/her they can't force him to reveal this person. I think
@MichaelAvenatti will protect his source, just like journalists do. -

So far, as I remember he hasn't actually said how he got the documents. I think he's waiting for Cohen to slip up again though and claims there's nothing else to see, which would put him in at risk of an obstruction charge when more leaks out. Which it appears it will.
