What a fall! 30-month sentence, and that might be just the start...
 
Yeah, I was happy with a little bit of fighting Trump with Trumpism, but prison for him is fine with me.
 
This was for attempting to extort Nike.

Kinda hard to think of anything done to Nike as a crime, actually.
 
I didn't realize he was ever a "media darling", He always seemed like a creepy porn lawyer.

Sure, he was a media darling. It was interesting just watching MSNBC's use of him. Lawrence O'Donnell had him on all the time, but Rachel Madow didn't. Guess Rachel's smarter than Lawrence is. He was being sleazy then, but he was matching Trump on that, so that was fun.
 
Which means you're chiming in on a subject you know little about.

Will wonders never cease. :cool:

He was on MSNBC and CNN over 140 times in six months, with hosts slobbering over him each and every time.
 
Avenatti was a media darling because he was playing Trump's game and showing what a big baby Trump was. It wasn't because anyone believed in Avenatti like Trumpettes believe in Donald Trump.
