Could Avenatti be the first of tRump's enemy hits?

He's been running scams his entire legal career apparently except no one really paid attention to him. You can't be on tv everyday AND have firms go bankrupt to avoid liabilities AND blur the line between blackmail and negotiation AND do whatever the hell else it is he does.

Get real.

for a whole collection of alleged crimes, including theft from clients. The CA allegations are even more serious than the ones in NY, but he's facing prison time in both jurisdictions, not to mention disbarment. Have a look at the NY complaint - it's much worse than just a phone call.

He deserves the deep shit he's in, regardless of politics. Some Democrats are bad people, too.

His tweet for a couple hrs ago wasn't a phone call..the guy is just dirty.

Yeah, I know he is a grifter and a shameless self-promoter, but these acts, if true, were incredibly stupid for an attorney.

He should have known a high-profile company like Nike wouldn't let him get away with extortion.

I mean....anything else?

of believing their own press.

Several calls, and meetings, audio and video taped, after Nike alerted the feds to Avenatti's extortion threat.

And the timing was entirely dictated by Avenatti, who was about to carry out his threat (which is why he was arrested based on criminal complaint).

in multiple cases in multiple states based on a phone call?

This place sometimes.

for some time, but the past 6 months haven't been very good to him. He keeps doing dumb stuff.
Who knows if he's being railroaded or if he deserves it. I honestly haven't been interested enough to dig, but he sure does seem shady.
