Celebrity attorney Michael Avenatti (he hates being called a celebrity attorney, so we’re going out of our way to work it in as much as possible) might have an ulterior motive here, as it looks like he’s aching to run for the Democratic nomination in 2020 against Sen. Kamala Harris and Sen. Cory Booker.
Either that or he 1) hasn’t read the news today or 2) is watching the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearings on delay on DVR.
I sincerely hope (1) those four docs that were released this morning by Mr. Booker really were still confidential, so he can prove the GOP is lying and (2) that Ms. Harris discloses the evidence of the communications she suggested last night exists and then eviscerates Kavanaugh.

Get up to speed, man: no, those documents had been cleared for release, and Harris did not “eviscerate” Kavanaugh; she refused to show her cards, he said “No,” and she dropped it and moved on.
The Washington Post’s Seung Min Kim tried to get Avenatti up to date with current events:
1) The four docs released by Booker had been cleared for public release (i.e. not committee confidential) — but he has subsequently released confidential emails.
2) Harris said she had "reliable information" about such a conversation and left it at that. https://t.co/5XSeKR7074

Kamala Harris renews questioning: "Yes or no, have you ever been part of a conversation" about Mueller with Kasowitz attorney?
Kavanaugh: "Who was the conversation with?"
Harris: "That is not the subject of the question."
Kavanaugh: "The answer is no."
Harris: "Let's move on."— Manu Raju (@mkraju) September 6, 2018
So when asked with whom he might have spoken, she evaded and said that’s not the subject, and then accepted Kavanaugh’s answer. What “reliable information” did she have, then?
Lmao she had more nothing than Booker https://t.co/KRPZ3pLwg6

So the viral clip last night that had everyone ? Harris was just a bunch of nothing like Booker’s protest this morning. Got it. https://t.co/iUkhMS0dSL

For those who missed it in the other thread, here’s Harris grandstanding for a couple of minutes before revealing she had nothing.
.@senkamalaharris: "The subject of the question is you & whether you were part of a conversation regarding Special Counsel Mueller's investigation."
Judge #Kavanaugh: "The answer is no."
Harris: "Thank you. And it would have been great if you could have said that last night." pic.twitter.com/zfkOJJwHPB
