Full title of article:

"Michael Avenatti’s Lonely Fall The disgraced lawyer wanted to be a legal celebrity. Now he’s not even the most famous defendant on the block."

Excerpt:

Over the last year or so, the swift and not particularly surprising fall of lawyer Michael Avenatti has descended through the circles of bankruptcy, alleged domestic violence, banishment from cable television, and separate indictments for tax fraud, extortion, and cheating Stormy Daniels, his most important client. In mid-January, federal agents arrested Avenatti in the middle of a disciplinary hearing before the State Bar of California and charged him with violating his bail agreement. (They alleged he was trying to hide money from creditors.) For the past two weeks, Avenatti has been held in solitary confinement in the high-security wing of the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, the notoriously squalid jail where Jeffrey Epstein died. His lawyers claim he sleeps shivering under three blankets in a cell previously occupied by Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzman.

What was remarkable was how fast and hard the MSM embraced him as a tool to hit Trump with. Only to find they were loving a snake of the first order.

This sleaze ripped off his clients for millions and ripped off business associates for millions. MSNBC and CNN touted him as the man who could go toe to toe with Trump in the upcoming election. That Avenatti could out tough The Donald in electoral politics. Shows what nitwits their liberal and ultra-liberal commentators are at CNN and MSNBC.

He tried to shakedown Nike for 20 million or so and Nike his suing Avenatti.

For me, it will always be the face of Sam Donaldson.

"Didn’t he say he will run against Trump?"

So he couldn't be investigated... "Missed it by that much."

Remember the American Bar Association has an ethic committee. Can you say that & not laugh? Can you say legal ethics and not laugh? Lawyers take a ethics course in law school, that’s funny too.

Only the liberals made him a celebrity.

Trump and supporters proved correct, again.

Have you ever noticed how Julian Castro looks like Sam Donaldson’s illegitimate love child from the Latina housekeper?
