You might well be right. It's just that engaging in speculation the way Avenatti did, in itself, is not exactly an honest activity. I mean what was the point of publishing that tweet?
Imo it proves the people right, that always had doubts about Avenatti's integrity. Correct me if I'm wrong but he doesn't have a lot going for himself at the moment does he? Last thing I heard about the Stormy Daniels case was her losing, the Kavanaugh thing he took part in was an utter failure to begin with, same goes for his presidential ambitions ... the guy crashed heavily. He does have a decent appearance on TV and probably (on a superficial level) somewhat supportable political views but with that snake oil salesman image he's not going anywhere.
