Liberals' Favorite Atty Arrested

Post by _Bach »

Avenatti arrested on bank fraud and extortion charges. Tried to extort Nike (he mistakenly thought they made "silicone proof" underwire bras)!!!

How many times did CNN and MSNBC have him on as their expert? And he was one of their more credible experts! Just another thing to watch and laugh about as the left continues to implode in front of our very eyes.

And my apologies in advance to all those who adored him last year!

Avenatti? My favorite attorney was Perry Mason. Think of all the attacks Perry would have received if he suggested that Trump was a conniving lout who colluded with Cthulhu.

I’d pay to see a cage match between Perry Mason and Phoenix Wright.

I assume you call Avenatti liberal's favorite attorney because he represented Stormy Daniels. For the record I always thought the guy was an opportunist and a bit of a high profile ambulance chaser. Not exactly surprising that he would represent a porn star who screwed the President and then got $125,000 to keep it quiet before the election.

But you think it is gloat-worthy when the President's Porno sex partner's lawyer is arrested, by all means gloat away.

You've got to laugh when a Trump lemming wants to criticize someone's credibility. It's like a Mormon mocking someone's underwear. Good times.

I can't imagine that this is true - that he is "liberal's favorite attorney." I'm sure there are some who might fall into this category but generally speaking, I think's it's a ridiculous and broad brushed assertion.

I'm still chuckling at the timing. Avenatti Tweets, and SDNY arrests him about an hour later.

SDNY don't mess around.

If a pollster asked "who is your favorite attorney," I'd bet the favorites would all be dead.

That or their own personal lawyers. I'm found of mine, she takes care of things in a timely manner and doesn't charge too much, just what I want in an attorney.
