If you're feeling down in the proverbial dumps and nothing seems to be going right this week, cheer up--the feds arrested porn lawyer and CNN hopeful for the 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Michael Avenatti.
Avenatti was arrested by Internal Revenue Service agents on Tuesday night during a break in a disciplinary hearing in Los Angeles over allegations the high-profile shyster scammed his client out of $840,000.
The arrest went down around 6 p.m. outside the State Bar Court, where the State Bar of California has initiated proceedings against him.
“I can confirm that he was arrested by federal agents," Avenatti's lawyer Dean Steward said. "I anticipate a bail hearing at 2 p.m. tomorrow in Magistrate's Court in Santa Ana. I haven't seen the details of the warrant, but should have it later this evening.“
It isn't certain that CNN has reported this story yet because nobody watches CNN and thus no information was available regarding their garbage reporting.
Avenatti did not return to the court when the hearing resumed possibly because he was indisposed. His attorneys called for a sidebar with the judge and said he would not be able to return due to circumstances related to a criminal matter in Orange County.
The former so-called lawyer for sex performer Stormy Daniels is accused of fraud, cheating on his taxes and lying to investigators. Federal prosecutors allege that he embezzled funds from clients. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Thom Mrozek, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Los Angeles, told Fox News that Avenatti was arrested on suspicion of violating his pre-trial release, but specific details were not made clear.
"I do expect him to appear in federal court in Santa Ana tomorrow," he said, adding that documents related to the arrest were under seal.

Hearts are being broken as this is being written. Rachel Maddow, the entire staff at CNN, Chris Matthews--heck, Chrissy is practically in tears now that he and Mikey will not be going for that cup of coffee Matthews suggested.
Avenatti was scheduled to travel to New York on Tuesday night for his criminal trial over his alleged plot to extort $25 million from sports apparel giant Nike.

At least in his mind, nothing he has ever done was anything less than not guilty. Just ask Stormy Daniels how she feels about him. When a porn performer see you as a low-life, well, it doesn't get much lower.
