Mike is hitting every little rock and ridge during his plummenting fall from grace. Remember when he was giving at least three broadcast TV interviews per day about Stormy or about him running for president? Not now. Even Stormy is suing Mike about something or another. Maybe he called her a slut.

You kidding? That’s a resume enhancer for the DNC. Ask any Clinton.

I find it ironic that they just charged him a few months ago and a grand jury has indictments. Yet Barr and Horowitz can’t even get a report On criminality in less than 2 years!

My nephew had an office in the same building as Avenatti and one day Avenatti cornered him asking for money for his Tully’s deal. My nephew smelled a rat right away and declined.

Apparently Avenatti drove extremely high end cars - about 5 - that all turned out to be leased.

Your nephew made the wise choice. Avenatti is a taker who has become used to living beyond his means.
