The ex-lawyer once represented Stormy Daniels against the former president.
Disgraced lawyer Michael Avenatti has been sentenced to 14 years in federal prison for defrauding his clients and for obstructing IRS efforts to collect payroll taxes from his coffee business.
He was also ordered to pay $7 million in restitution.
The sentence will run consecutively with his combined five-year sentence in New York for stealing from Stormy Daniels and for extorting Nike.

Hey, inmates! Just put him in a bit of make-up and a cute little party dress and he’ll look just like Sam Brinton!

“Embarrassing that dems once touted this guy for president.”
I don’t see where this minor bump in the road should hurt him in the libtard world. Avenatti 2040!

Michael Avenatti isn’t an opponent of Trump anymore?
To: tennmountainman
At least he's wearing his little maskie, like a good little submissive.
He'll be safe in prison...I think. He just needs to find a strong boyfriend who will protect him.

Now he can be a jail house lawyer, set up a good practice, and get his license back when he gets out, and already have clients eager for his services. Happy as a pig in sh!t he’ll be in the big house.

Avenatti: Why did my lawyer hand me soap on a rope? I usually use liquid Dove. Makes my skin softer.
