Avenatti's up schiesse creek in LA

Post by _Jersey Girl »

Taken into custody for domestic violence. Excerpt:

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Michael Avenatti, who skyrocketed to fame as a chief critic of President Donald Trump and the lawyer for porn actress Stormy Daniels, was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of domestic violence, Los Angeles police said.

Police had responded to a domestic violence incident Tuesday and took a report, but Avenatti was taken into custody Wednesday. The police department said the investigation was still ongoing and additional details would be released later.

How will CNN handle the story given how they used Avenatti to attack the president? I expect they'll pretend like he doesn't exist. Now will this thread take off or will the leftist here refuse to touch it?

It’s currently the third story on CNN’s webpage, headlined “breaking.”

And this leftist says charge him and try him. Next?

Hey I don't really care what happens to this thread. Everyone has a chance to say what they want here.

CNN already has it covered. Check out the website and see what you think.

Both CNN and MSNBC interrupted their shows to report on it. So you're a moron.

He was arrested but not booked. Not sure what all that means. Didn't even know he was married. Thought he was gay actually.

Avenatti has never struck me as a choir boy. Find out what happened, and bring charges if warranted.

Do you think CNN and MSNBC will still feature Avenatti as part of their expert anti Trump panel?

Amen to that. No one here is giving Avenatti a pass simply because he is a Democrat or liberal. He should be charged if warranted, convicted if found guilty after a fair trial, or acquited if found innocent.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Dunno.

What is this 'expert anti Trump panel' you refer to? Who is a member of it, and how do you know?

Well, we sure appreciated your vigorous defense and support of Avenatti in this thread:
