Michael Avenatti is accusing Nike of running a “diversion charade” and paying off prominent college and pro hoops stars on Tuesday — a day after the lawyer was federally charged in an alleged $20 million extortion plot.

Nike is about one smidge more ethical than Avenetti, and has better lawyers.

He actually has to to do that if he’s going to defend himself from claims of extortion because it’ll be essential to his claim that he was trying to serve the public interest by exposing corruption.

Cause we’ve all had ####ing enough.

You disgrace all of our ancestors and make me sick.

I’ve got some Italians words for you that I can’t type here.

I want to thank all of my supporters for your kind words and support today. It means a lot to me. I am anxious for people to see what really happened. We never attempted to extort Nike & when the evidence is disclosed, the public will learn the truth about Nike’s crime & coverup.— Michael Avenatti (@MichaelAvenatti) March 26, 2019

I am curious if he had something on Nike. I know college basketball is dealing with a lot of corruption right now. Often there isn’t a good guy.

His most recent girlfriend that left him because of the physical abuse and even porn star Stromy Daniels have too much integrity to be around this sleazebag.

Evidence? Media darlings don't need evidence.

If the conversations already reported were accurate there's not a bit of doubt what was going on. I would have thought this to be blackmail, not extortion, but then I'm not an expert legal authority like Avenatti, who likely will be the highest-powered attorney on his entire cell block.

They didn’t need no steenken’ evidence to lynch Trump.

He's doing this on Twitter?

I guess CNN and MSNBC aren't giving him free access anymore.

” but didn’t offer any solid evidence to back up his claims.” He never does.
