This is kinda like Jose Canseco with roids in baseball. This piece of crap may be useful.

Looks like a variant of Michael Cohen's tactic.

So?
There needs to be a separation of sports and state and of education and state.
Who cares if someone paid some talented player to pick one collage over another? Isn't that what they are effectively doing with offering scholarships?
The government needs to keep out of it.

It seems Avenatti is constructing a defense that because Nike allegedly paid these athletes then he was allowed to extort Nike with impunity. Even if Nike paid the money, it does not get around the taped conversations during which Avenatti made the extortionate demands. I would be surprised if any federal judge even would allow that evidence to be admitted during cross examination or in the defense case (assuming there is one). The evidence of alleged payments by Nike is collateral to the extortion charge and the government would likely argue it would only confuse the jury. In essence, Avenatti wants to engage in jury nullification - that is, claim Nike is so bad it got what it deserved. Good luck, Mike, you’re going to need it.

Agree. He thought he had so much leverage he could not possibly lose. Hillary-think.

A legal dispute between Nike and Creepy Porn Lawyer is like a mud wrestling match between Hillary Clinton and Diane Feinstein. I ain’t watching, I don’t care who wins, and I only wish they’d both collapse and die before the first round ends.

He could be right
Bogus consulting services?
That's totally believable, as there's not many ways left to bribe a talented athlete or his parents. This could get interesting.
To: Steely Tom
He could be the Joe Valachi of the DNC, elite sports and elite media.

Cohen's created more fake info, and has offered himself to Congress, to cut his prison time. Sounds like he withheld evidence in Mueller's case. The guy's a doofus.
