How Michael Avenatti went from battling Trump to fighting his own legal woes
CNBC ^ | 01/15/2021 | Scott Cohn

The scandal involving President Donald Trump and porn actress Stormy Daniels — who received $130,000 in hush money over an alleged 2006 sexual tryst — is likely to remain alive long after he leaves office.

---snip---

“Mr. Avenatti was targeted by Donald Trump, William Barr and Trump’s Department of Justice,” Avenatti attorney Daniel Steward said in an e-mail to CNBC’s “American Greed.”

“Does anyone really think that politics didn’t play a huge role in all of this?”

Avenatti, 49, faces up to 43 years in prison when he is sentenced in the Nike case. He could face decades more if convicted of defrauding his clients. He is on home confinement in California after briefly being held without bail at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in New York last year.

The guy was a stone cold psychopath. Even though this show had some Trump bashing it is very interesting viewing and a reminder of how you can get away with just about anything if you attack Trump. His downfall was trying to shakedown Nike.

His downfall was trying to become a contender in future RAT primaries. Other RATS and their political machines with their eye on the prize didn't like that.

Me too. I thought he was locked up but apparently he is still awaiting sentencing.

43 years is about right for Avenatti if he served every day of it.

How stupid could you be. The guy spent years warning people how dangerous it would be to mess with his boss, and then he decides to mess with his boss. You deserve what you get, fool.

Since the media has to hide Biden’s dementia. And he’s also as boring as hell. The media has to keep old Trump stories to fill time. It’ll be a few weeks before they get the pogroms against Trumpsters going.

Who was Avenetti’s boss? It was never Trump, you know.

I bet Imanutti contacted Trump begging for a pardon in the last few days of Trump’s presidency.

Well of course the Hunter Biden payoffs by Ukraine, Russia, and China which involve Joe selling out the US would be very interesting, but we know the MSM will do everything in its power to keep that buried.
