NEW YORK (AP) — Michael Avenatti was convicted Friday of charges he cheated the porn actor Stormy Daniels out of nearly $300,000 she was supposed to get for writing a book about an alleged tryst with former president Donald Trump.
Avenatti stared straight ahead as the verdict was read. It was another crushing defeat for the California lawyer, who has faced a host of legal problems after briefly rising to fame as one of Trump’s leading antagonists on cable news early in the Republican’s administration.
Avenatti dumped his lawyers and decided to represent himself shortly after the trial began, setting up a face-to-face showdown with Daniels, his former client, who appeared in a new role as star witness.
Prosecutors portrayed Avenatti as a common thief and serial liar. He countered by seeking to cast himself as a white knight who came to the rescue of Daniels until he turned on her.

This woman doesn’t make good choices in life.
A fool for a client something something..
No honor among thieves.
Now he’s perfectly qualified for an anchor position at CNN.

When the whore woke up, he was gone and so was her money...
Ahh yes, the man CNN once touted as the king of virtue.
Yep--he can do 'zoom' calls from prison.
“Prosecutors portrayed Avenatti as a common thief and serial liar”
For once no exaggerations were needed to gain a conviction.
That looks great on a resume.
Jeff Zucker’s legacy.
This could affect his presidential campaign. Perhaps negatively.
Avanatti and Zucker two slime toads.
Slime vs Slime . . . and Slime lost. . . .
Heh heh heh.....She may be a r- -...but she’s not stupid.
Tucker is gonna have a blast replaying CNN and MSNBC anchors and anchorettes salivating over Avenatti. They are so pathetic. Zucker got canned because CNN’s viewership is in the toilet. If they had the kind of numbers they had in 2017, he could screw his girlfriend on the air, with Jeffrey Toobin tubin’ them on, and no one would care.
