Avenatti blames Trump for his legal morass, and casts himself as 'Icarus'
American Thinker ^ | May 23, 2019 | Monica Showalter

Michael Avenatti is back in business, not practicing law of course, but wooing the press, now that he's been charged with multiple felonies for defrauding clients, running out on his tax tab, and attempting to shake down a major corporation for a big dollar payout. He's got a big spread in Vanity Fair, comparing himself to Icarus, the classic figure of Greek mythology who flew too close to the sun and fell into the sea, tragic, as in all tragedy, only because he was once great.

No not exactly. Who's he blaming for this comeuppance? Not himself, of course. According to Vanity Fair, the sun was Trump.

“I never imagined that this case would take on the magnitude that it did and would have thrust me into the spotlight and into the national spotlight like it did,” he said. “I have said many, many times over the last year, this is either going to end really, really well, or really, really badly. I am most fearful of the fact that the rate of descent is greater than the rate of ascent. Some would argue at this point that I flew too close to the sun. As I sit here today, yes, absolutely, I know I did. No question. Icarus.”

The press has always been his vehicle and now that he's under indictment in both Los Angeles and New York and even his lawyers are telling him to stay off CNN, he's still utilizing his access to the press to make his case by insisting that Trump Did It.

Didn’t Icarus’ daddy Daedalus tell his son not to fly close to the sun?

has he actually found a lawyer to take his case?

last I read, he was having a hard time finding onw, considering the multiple charges, his lack of disposable cash and assets, etc.

So his defense is going to be Orange Man bad?

Let’s see, LA jury, New York jury...

Will probably work, likely won’t even need a lawyer to sell it.

Icarus flew to close to the sun by error. Aventi was corruption, theft, illegality and Stormy Daniels by choice.

It should be noted this mans life was totally out of control on a personal and legal basis. I think the real problem with him aside from being a vile person is a very large amount of blow.

Trump is like the new climate change for the democRATS.

Just as they portray the cause of almost every calamity in the world to climate change, the democRATS are now blaming Trump for every bad thing that happens to people.

Doesn't matter how small or insignificant the event or issue is, if it is bad, the Left will figure out a way to blame Trump for it.

So just as with the climate change, there are believers and there are deniers.

Trump believers would be The Deplorables, so-named after Hillary's verbal slight at Trump followers during the campaign. Fanatical fans and supporters who believe in Trump, no matter what.

And those that don't believe in Trump, the Trump-haters, who tend to be the Trump Derangement Syndrome types. Those who are so dysfunctional in life, or so they claim, that Trump makes their lives miserable and pathetic and angry.

But just as there are the true believers that climate change is destroying the planet, there are the rabid Trump haters who believe that Trump by his lonesome, is destroying the country and the planet as we know it.

This attorney for the creepies, Avenatti, is a classic example. He didn't cause his own woes. Trump did.
