I don't know which should be more ashamed:
- Don Lemon, for pal-ing around with an accused extortionist
- Avanatti, for hanging out with a ... Don Lemon

The arrest Monday of Michael Avenatti in an extortion case reportedly linked to fellow celebrity lawyer Mark Geragos sparked trouble for two men who recently had been fixtures on cable news, especially CNN.
Avenatti, the pugnacious attorney best known for representing adult-film actress Stormy Daniels in lawsuits against President Trump, was arrested on charges that included trying to shake down Nike for as much as $25 million with a co-conspirator by threatening the company with bad publicity. The attorney, who also was accused of embezzling a client’s money to pay his own expenses, was charged with extortion and bank and wire fraud in separate cases in New York and California. He was arrested in New York.
The suspected co-conspirator was identified by The Associated Press and The Wall Street Journal as Geragos, a Los Angeles criminal defense lawyer also known for his work with celebrities. CNN, which had hired him as a contributor, cut ties with him Monday.
In a span of just over two months last year, Avenatti appeared 108 times on just two cable news outlets combined: CNN and MSNBC, as the Washington Free Beacon reported. He showed up on CNN 65 times and on MSNBC 43 times between March 7 and May 10, according to the paper.

Garbage in, garbage out.
Will this affect Avenattis’ chances to get on the DNC Presidential ballot at all?
The Dems will most likely say it’s a career enhancer. LOL!
Between Nick Sandmann’s libel suit, Trump’s exoneration, and the CPL, CNN has had a rough few weeks. When will the layoffs begin?
Maybe they should sue CNn for extortion. Lord knows the Convington case got some proof now at least
Garbage in, nothing out but a smell of death.
Both of them worked for CNN...who is the genius that hired such talent?
This weekend may be even better than the weekend after Election Day 2016.
Now, let the payback begin.

The MSM-Democrats went into full-blown psychosis with their stop-Kavanaugh meltdown last fall.
It sure feels that way. This was a Champagne popping weekend!
“This was a Champagne popping weekend!”
I did 1-1/2 oz of Pappy Van Winkle. It was superb.

Why would it be a problem? It wasn’t for Jessie Jackson.
