Jailbirds of a feather flock together. Michael Avenatti was the darling of the left back in the day when he used to troll Trump so expertly. Now we know why he was so good at it. It takes a thief to know a thief.
Avenatti has a pile of legal headaches but let’s look at this one first. He stole $300,000 from Stormy Daniels by committing wire fraud and that’s a lot of money.
Here's Judge Jesse Furman's order today reiterating what was said in court on Friday: Michael Avenatti is to turn himself into the U.S. Marshals in the Central District of California by 5 p.m. today. pic.twitter.com/1VkpaFUqDH

And then there’s this one.
Avenatti's reply brief in his 9th Circuit appeal in the California mistrial is due today, but his lawyer (Howard Srebnick from the Nike trial) filed this request to extend due date Feb. 7, citing his other work load and Avenatti's Stormy trial. https://t.co/bJJYH2uoXe

It puts a whole new spin on the term “jailhouse lawyer.”
Avenatti’s saga is a tragic one. He was a hard worker in his youth. He went to a fine law school and did well. He is the stuff of which think tanks and success stories are made.
Then he decided that it was easier to steal, or maybe more fun, and he did that. Now he can forget the palatial suites and the hot cars.
He should have quit while he was ahead and he was very far ahead indeed. Apparently it wasn’t enough. Some people just have to fly into the sun until their wings melt.
He started believing his own publicity, and had to steal to support the lifestyle he wanted.
I thought he was so hot… apparently my taste in men hasn’t improved HAHA
Can we just take a minute to appreciate that the one person we used to lionize consistently throughout the Trump years who never let us down was a freaking PORN STAR?! Not for nothing do I call Stormy Daniels “Lady Liberty” to this day.
He started out with a great avalanche of legalize and evidence to crash Trump’s happy golf days … most of us of the normal mind set thought he was going to be the burr under Trump’s saddle blanket …
With the plastic president in our precious Oval office it was a godsend to finally see his weakness brought to the front line … Ms. Daniels, revealed an interesting detail about Trump and it was certainly the kind of, “thing”, and I was sure that Trump was squirming, unable to say different without bringing public commentary pundits to life … it WAS popcorn days then and now, we find the burst bubble of a wishful on-going attack …
Well, with Don II falling apart, and Trump 1 out of his mind as well, the popcorn age is not dead yet, but it IS interesting how long Trump has carried his stupidity and criminality above the laws of the land … The final crash will be loud and messy, a three ring circus with rampant elephants crushing everything in sight … so sad, and yet delicious …
