Was Michael Avanetti punked by 4Chan?

   Reports are slowly coming in that Michael Avanetti, the lawyer who made demands to the Senate just a week ago, has locked his social media accounts and is being called out as a victim of a hoax by an anonymous hacker on the website 4Chan.  He's denying it, but also backing away from his story mighty quick.
   
   Thoughts?  With all the hype about the Kavanaugh confirmation, this could easily be the spear in the heart of the narrative (when combined with the other accusations crumbling)

      RJ: It's these kind of phony fake discussions that will send HubPages off the air sooner or later just like Alex Jones and Russian TV: Unfortunately, HP is already gaining a very bad reputation for pumping our false fake discussions started by not only you, but ahorseback, Ed Fisher, Kathryn Hill and others::

         The King of Propaganda is lecturing me on fake news....
         
         Notice one thing I do versus what you do - I'm asking for others opinions on something, not stating anything as factual that isn't a fact (such as the locking of a social media account) - we like to call that a discussion where I come from.

            When someone incapable of stating a fact, or discerning fact from his own hyperbole corrects you, you know you stated something true.

               I expect a long dissertation about how he always is factual, just ask him and he'll agree.  I've cornered him multiple times but he keeps running away from ever showing who he really is and what his writing/politcal commentary credentials are, but no luck as of yet.

         I reported you for this comment. You literally attacked persons who aren't even talking to you here. You also insulted this entire website, and what do you contribute here?

            And Wesman, I just reported you for constantly attacking me and others personally and for spreading fake and false information which jeopardizes the integrity of HubPages:

               Because you aren't a person anyone can take seriously, I encourage you to report me, report me, report me. You'll get what you deserve out of it.

                  Another false comment and everyone knows it: I hope HP reviews my comment against yours, kathryn Hill's, RJ's, Ed Fisher's and Sharlee01's and we'll see who spreads propaganda style falsehoods:
                  
                  My comments are always rooted in fact and you know it Wesman, you just don't like the fact that I'm not a Trump cultee and believe he'll soon be removed for his atrocious criminal activity:

   There is a rumor being floated that I was "duped" or "pranked" by a 4Chan user re Kavanaugh. I have received multiple inquiries about it. This is completely false. It never happened; it is a total fabrication. None of it is true. The right must be very worried. They should be.

   I was just forced to make my account private because the bots and Trump trolls are out in full force due to my representation re Kavanaugh. I will change this back as soon as I am able.

      So why should his "truth" be given more consideration rather than someone else's "truth"?
      
      Is it because he's a Democrat?  A Lawyer?  What is it that we should use as a barometer to determine who is being truthful in today's world?
      
      Judge Kavanaugh has stated that he's innocent of accusations - shouldn't we believe a sitting US Judge?  One with a stellar record and good moral character? 
      
      It's a tough question to answer so I'll let you get right on it.

         Because that someone else was posted as anonymous at, of all sites, 4chan. Because that someone else claimed the third accuser did not existed and was a prank, yet Avenatti not only provided her name, but also a sworn declaration from her...??
