Michael Avenatti will never be POTUS because he's going to do a 4-year bid for fraud

Former CNN presidential hopeful, Michael Avenatti, will never be President of the United States and Brian Stelter, along with the entire cast of the Comedy News Network, is sad to hear that Mike, as they called him, will be doing a 4-year bid in the joint. "At least that's one less than a nickel," Wolf Blitzer opined.

Disgraced lawyer lost his case for cheating his former client, sex performer Stormy Daniels, [aka Stephanie Gregory Clifford] out of $300,000. He was convicted of aggravated identity fraud and wire fraud in New York federal court earlier in the year and faced up to two years in prison for the first rap and 20 big ones for the second.

Thirty months will be served concurrently with the  two-and-a-half-year sentence sentence he was previously handed down in a case in which he tried to extort  the Nike Corp. out of $25,000,000. If he's smart, [doubtful] he'll be a sucker ducker in the joint and avoid the spider monkeys, if you know what I mean. 

Avenatti spoke after the sentencing and acknowledged the "series of mistakes" and "poor judgment" he made but never once mentioned CNN and his feelings for Brian Stelter.

"I will forever be branded ‘disgraced lawyer’ and worse," he said. [The 'worse' might be, for example: a-hole, scumcrumpet, slime-ball, and general turd.]

Ahead of sentencing, Avenatti had sent a letter apologizing to Daniels, but the judge said this gesture was "too little, too late." He did not send pictures of his genitalia nor did he ask her for one last chance.

Avenatti requested to be sentenced remotely but judge Furman denied the request, ordering him to appear.

"In the Court’s view, the gravity and significance of the sentencing proceeding would be ill served by a remote proceeding," Furman wrote.

For her part, Daniels took delight in the ruling, tweeting, ""See ya there, b--ch!... except I'm flying in first class. Buwahaha."

Avenatti rose to fame as the attorney for Daniels when she was trying to get out of an October 2016 agreement where she received $130,000 in exchange for her silence regarding her claim that she had an affair with former President Donald Trump in 2006. Trump has denied that the affair took place but who cares anyway? He's Trump and he does Trump things.

Avenatti has an upcoming retrial in California federal court in a separate case in which he is accused of stealing nearly $10 million from five clients. A judge declared a mistrial in the first trial last August after prosecutors failed to turn over relevant financial evidence.

CNN's former presidential hopeful convicted of stealing $300K from porn actress

CNN hopeful for the 2016 presidency, Michael Avenatti, has been convicted Friday of stealing almost $300,000 in book-advance payment from his then-client Stephanie Clifford, whose pornography stage name is Stormy Daniels. This is only his second conviction.

Avenatti faces a maximum of 22 years in prison for his conviction on wire fraud and aggravated identity theft charges, but a sentencing date for this latest conviction has not yet been set. No worries, however, Avenatti has nothing but time on his hands. 

During this trial, prosecutors showed how the shyster lawyer, 50, is a calculating scumbag who stole two book-advances from Stormy in 2018, the year he appeared on the Comedy News Network more times than Stormy Daniels appeared buckbonkey, bumping uglies on video.

Clifford signed a book deal with St. Martin's Press [where did they get the "St." part?] after she didn't hush about the $130,000 in hush money she was paid, coincidentally just before the 2016 presidential election to keep her hushed about an alleged sexual encounter with Donald Trump, which happened years prior to the campaign.

Prosecutors were able to show that Avenatti forged Clifford's name on a letter to her literary agent [because they call everything literature these days] that directed the agent to wire two payments meant for Stormy to go into a bank account he controlled. 

Brilliant!

Daniels was the government’s star witness at the trial and testified that she did not give Brian Stelter's hope for the nation permission to keep the money owed to her through the book contract.

“He stole from me and lied to me,” she said on the witness stand, as her breasts heaved up and down and up and down.

Daniels added that Avenatti had promised her he would “never take a penny from me for the book.”

Well, technically he didn't take a penny from her.

Prosecutors showed jurors documents related to the book deal, as well as a series of text messages between Avenatti and Daniels, which proved how he repeatedly lied to her about the money.

When she didn’t receive the payments on time, Daniels asked Avenatti about the missing cash, according to the text messages.

“I did not get paid today. I am not f–king happy,” she said, in reverse to what she is normally happy about.

“The publisher owes me a payment … This is bulls–t,” she wrote in another.

Instead of admitting that he stole the money, Avenatti told her he would “figure out” what happened – even though he had already received and spent it. Avenatti claimed that Daniels is not credible at the trial.

In their closing argument, prosecutors pointed to a “mountain of evidence” against Avenatti, who they argued betrayed the trust of his client.

Avenatti, who represented himself at trial, proved once again, that people who represent themselves at trial have an idiot for a lawyer. He said he was innocent and in his closing argument said Daniels owed him money because of the amount of work he and his law firm did for her. 

Then why didn't he come clean about the money he stole in the first place, or at the very least, bill her that amount?

He also claimed prosecutors’ case against him was full of holes and likened it to a meal that has a “cockroach in the middle of the plate.” See, he had an idiot defending him.

“On Sept. 27, 2019 … You stated that I was ‘f—ing myself pretty nice and hard and that when I go to prison, there will be a long line of people to ass-rape me,’” Avenatti asked Daniels, who did not deny making the comment because there is a level of truth to that statement if prison movies depict reality.

But as noted, this wasn't Avenatti's first rodeo. In 2020 he was convicted in the same federal court of attempting to shakedown Nike, the sportswear giant, for $25,000,000 and was sentenced to 30 months for that case.

At his sentencing, he told the judge he betrayed himself and his friends while sparring with the former president and his supporters.

“I lost my way,” he said. “I betrayed my own values, friends, family and myself.”

"You bring a smile to my face, Jeff"

“I was driven by things that do matter in life. Television and Twitter mean nothing,” he added, causing CNN's host of "Reliable Sources" Brian Stelter, to uncontrollably break down in tears and rocking himself on a corner chair.

"He had so much to offer the country; the world; to me," Stelter said. "And now with Jeff gone, I don't know how I'm going to make it through the night."

Avenatti has a fool for a lawyer in Stormy Daniels case

The View's and CNN's first choice for President

Former CNN contributor and Brian Stelter presidential hopeful, Michael Avenatti will be using the services of an idiot to represent him in court against pornography performer Stormy Daniels. In other words, Avenatti will be representing himself at his latest of several criminal trials.

By being his own lawyer, this allows him to set the stage to directly confront Daniels over her allegation that he stole some of the money she was owed for her steamy autobiography.

U.S. District Judge Jesse M. Furman granted Avenatti’s request at his Manhattan trial on wire fraud and aggravated identity theft charges after he cited a “breakdown” with his former lawyers over trial strategy, especially on how he wanted them to question a former longtime office worker of his who was testifying at the trial on video.

Stormy Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, was expected to take the witness stand at the trial as early as Wednesday, if she isn't tied up.

It is not known whether Avenatti plans to use Brian Stelter as a character witness or anyone else at the Comedy News Network, but they are prepared to stand behind him if he calls on them, it is believed.

Avenatti, 50, has angrily asserted his innocence on the claims that he pocketed nearly $300,000 of the $800,000 advance paid to Daniels for her 2018 book “Full Disclosure.” He posits that his pockets are too small and in no way able to hold that much cash, and just because another person who happens to be a paraplegic made similar allegations about money he was owed, that is not proof he did anything wrong this time.

Although Judge Furman told Avenatti earlier that his right to represent himself was “sharply curtailed” once his trial began, the judge granted his request after the shyster insisted he wanted to act as his own lawyer, as he did at a trial in California for six weeks last year.

At that federal trial, Avenatti represented himself against criminal charges that he cheated clients of millions of dollars, and the proceedings ended in a mistrial. Hopefully a new trial will end in justice being served.

In early 2020, Avenatti was convicted of attempting to extort up to $25 million from sportswear giant Nike. He threatened to destroy the company's reputation if it didn't do exactly as he said. He was sentenced to 2.5 years in prison. Fortunately, he did not testify and was represented by good lawyers, for if he had represented himself and also testified, he might be serving five times the sentence he received.

Avenatti became a national hero to CNN in 2018 when he represented the porn performer in lawsuits against then-President Donald Trump. Daniels received $130,000 just before the 2016 presidential election to remain silent about her claim that she and Trump had a sexual tryst ten years prior. Trump denied that claim, using the "horse face" defense and stating that he would have never considered having sex with Daniels because, hey, look at who he is married to.

In opening statements Monday, Andrew Dalack, Avenatti's lawyer, said that Avenatti and Daniels had an agreement to share the proceeds of any book deal. Whether that is true or not, no contract was produced in court, and Avenatti, who believes he's a good lawyer, would have insisted Daniels sign one if this assertion was true, one would think. 

Dalack stated that Avenatti loaned Daniels hundreds of thousands of dollars while he represented her. Was this in writing? If not, why not?

A prosecution witness, Judy Regnier, testified Tuesday that she did not believe Avenatti had sent any of his law firm’s money to Daniels between July 2018 and February 2019 because the firm was financially hurting.

Regnier, who worked as a paralegal and office manager for Avenatti for about 11 years, said the firm’s finances were in bad shape during that span.

“I was checking bank accounts to see if there were enough funds to make it through the week, or the day,” she said.

Meanwhile, Avenatti's cellmate was unavailable for comment, as was Brian Stelter.

Eliot Spitzer wants judge to toss alleged Russian escort's lawsuit

Disgraced former governor of New York, former MSNBC host and CNN frequent guest, Eliot Spitzer has asked a judge to toss out the remainder of a lawsuit filed by his accuser and Russian escort Svetlana Travis, now that portions of the suit have gone public. [H/T New York Post]

The alleged $5,000-a-night prostitute filed suit against the Democrat in 2020 but the case was filed under seal and partially made public after The Post and another media outlet recently petitioned a judge.

Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Paul Goetz ordered the portions of the suit relating to Ms. Travis' allegations that Spitzer choked her during sexual intercourse gone wrong on Feb. 13, 2016 at the Plaza Hotel would be unsealed. The order dismissed all of the other allegations against Spitzer except the one referencing the Plaza Hotel choking incident.

An unsealed, heavily redacted, version of Travis’ suit was filed on Dec. 16 and recently made accessible to the gossip-hungry public.

Spitzer’s smart, Jewish lawyer Adam Kaufmann, sent a letter to the judge asking him to allow Kaufmann to file a motion to dismiss the rest of her suit. The letter was also made public.

Spitzer co-hosting on CNN

“Plaintiff launched this action as part of her effort to extract revenge against Mr. Spitzer, his family and anyone remotely close to him after she was prosecuted and jailed for her extortive scheme against Mr. Spitzer and another victim,” Kaufmann wrote, only made public this week.

“Plaintiff’s own filings to the court demonstrate that her single remaining claim cannot be sustained,” Kaufmann wrote asking to file a motion for summary judgment.

Travis accused Spitzer of choking her during coitus in 2016 at the Plaza Hotel. She pleaded guilty to attempted petit larceny in 2017.

Of the newly unsealed suit, Kaufmann said, “There is nothing new in these allegations. They have been investigated by law enforcement and dismissed as complete fabrications.

“In fact, Ms. Travis herself sent an email unequivocally apologizing and retracting the allegations the day after she initially made them,” Kaufmann's statement said. “We are pleased the court dismissed most of the counts and are confident the rest of the case will follow.”

Travis was sentenced to 90 days time served in 2017 after pleading guilty to attempted petit larceny for trying to steal rent from another ex-lover [aka coitus client]. The plea deal meant she didn’t have to cop to charges accusing her of extorting $400,000 from Spitzer to keep quiet about their sexcapades.

Svetlana Travis

In 2017, Spitzer filed suit against Travis accusing her of fraud and extortion but he dropped the case just a few months later, perhaps because he didn't want to get caught with his pants down.

Travis’ lawyer Joseph Murray [Michael Avenatti wasn't available] filed a response letter Tuesday opposing Spitzer’s request to make a motion for summary judgment, alleging that Spitzer’s side has filed motions which have delayed the case from moving forward.

Murray also disputed all of Kaufmann’s assertions from his letter alleging that Travis, not Spitzer, was the real victim and claiming that Spitzer threatened Travis to keep her from fully cooperating with officials over the Feb. 13 incident.

According to MSNBC, Eliot Spitzer considers himself to be a feminist .  .  .  all coitus aside.

Spitzer's wife divorced him in 2013.

BREAKING: Michael Avenatti gets 30 months in the slammer, cries like a baby in court

Former CNN hopeful for the U.S. presidency and a man who earned a special place in the heart of Brian Stelter, disgraced lawyer Michael Avenatti was sentenced to two and a half years in prison Thursday for trying to extort up to $25 million from China's shoe and clothing company known as Nike. The normal sentence for similar crimes is often up to 9 years, Avenatti will serve less than one third the time [if you do the math and you're not Joe Biden].

While addressing the court prior to sentencing, the tough guy lawyer cried like a lost child.

This case is only one of several the scumbag is currently having to deal with. Judge Paul Gardephe of the Southern District of New York ripped Avenatti a new one during the sentencing but still gave him a break on the time he will have to spend being careful not to drop the soap in the shower, if you know what I mean.

“Mr. Avenatti’s conduct was outrageous," the judge told the Washington Examiner. "He hijacked his client’s claims, and he used those claims to further his own agenda — which was to extort millions of dollars from Nike to enrich himself. Mr. Avenatti had become drunk on the power of his platform, or what he perceived the power of his platform to be. He had become someone who operated as if the laws and rules that apply to everyone else didn’t apply to him.”

U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman and the prosecution team wrote in the case filing: “The defendant, a prominent attorney and media personality with a large public following, betrayed his client and sought to enrich himself by weaponizing his public profile in an attempt to extort a publicly-traded company out of tens of millions of dollars. This was an egregious abuse of trust, and it warrants real and serious punishment.” 

Avenatti’s defense team pleaded with the judge for leniency. They argued that Avenatti had faced enough public humiliation during the case already. In other words, if you get caught and are sufficiently embarrassed by what you did, that should settle it. Balderdash!

“Avenatti’s epic fall and public shaming has played out in front of the entire world. The Court may take judicial notice of this fact, as Avenatti’s cataclysmic fall has been well-documented. He is openly mocked by the former President of the United States and his preferred media outlets, to the glee of millions of the former President’s followers and supporters,” the attorneys wrote.

“He cannot go anywhere in public without inducing and subjecting himself to vitriolic comments and abuse. These circumstances alone would deter anyone in Avenatti’s shoes from engaging in similar conduct,” they said.

Fortunately for Avenatti, he will not be going anywhere in public for a while. He was found guilty of the extortion scheme in February. In spite of the notoriety of the case, Brian Stelter has not reported on his crestfallen feelings over the sentencing, but reliable sources who wish to remain anonymous say that Stelter has, like Avenatti, been seen crying.

But that is not the case with former President Donald J. Trump who lately appears to have a spring in his step.

Mike Avenatti is broke: maybe CNN can spot the dude the dough

Porn lawyer Michael Avenatti is dead broke and cannot afford his legal fees, according to Dean Steward, his attorney.

Steward filed a motion in federal court Saturday detailing Avenatti’s financial woes and is now asking for taxpayers to cover his costs. You can bet if he gets his way, and he probably will, the legal bill is going to skyrocket to a ridiculous dollar amount.

“The bottom line is that Mr. Avenatti has run out of funds, and faces a complex trial lasting as long as six weeks,” Steward wrote in a filing to the federal judge overseeing one of Avenatti’s three ongoing criminal cases. The funds to which he is referring that Avenatti ran out of consisted of money he scammed off his clients.

The Compromised News Network (CNN) is now distancing themselves from Avenatti, in spite of having once supporting his plan to run against President Trump in this year's presidential election. [Chris Matthews, who no longer works for CNN due to his involvement in sundry sexual misconduct scandals, was unavailable for comment. Others who have not been caught in sexual misconduct scandals have also not come forth with wallet in hand.]

Avenatti ran into legal and money problems last year when he was represented by attorneys in the federal public defender's office after the lawyer he had retained quit. The porn lawyer then brought in Steward, who he claimed was "incredibly well-qualified," which is an endorsement most lawyers would not relish.

"But the retainer has long since run out and defendant does not have funds to pay counsel,” Steward claimed. He's proposing to stay on the case and get paid under the rules for indigent clients.

“Such an arrangement would save considerable taxpayer funds, over starting fresh with new … counsel.” And it would likely fill Steward's money silo to the top.

The scumcrumpet's financial difficulties was filed under seal with the court, away from the eyes of taxpayers and for now, the prosecutors. We don't yet know if Judge Selna in Los Angeles would be ruling on the matter but we do know that Avenatti's chances of running for POTUS have been dashed along with the hopes and dreams of the Democrat Party, particularly Maxine Waters.

Avenatti, like many others imprisoned, was allowed to leave federal custody because of coronavirus concerns. Since April he’s been living in the Southern California home of a childhood friend under strict rules imposed by the court. It isn't known whether his childhood friend is aware that Avenatti is living there.

Just kidding--his friend knew. In fact, his friend was recently forced to answer questions to determine whether his porn lawyer buddy had violated those terms – such as through impermissible use of internet-capable devices.

Selna appeared satisfied with the friend’s responses. He said Avenatti’s conduct “does not merit any action at this time.”

The disgraced lawyer faces three-dozen counts of fraud, tax evasion and other alleged crimes. You would think with all that corruption, money would be no object for the weasel. He was convicted in February of attempting to extort millions of dollars from the Nike Corp. and is also accused of bilking money from pornography performer Stormy Daniels [aka Stephanie Gregory Clifford], his most famous client. 

Fun Fact: Stormy Daniels, who President Trump referred to as "Horse Face," knows more positions than Joe Biden has changed his positions on policy.

Avenatti has not been sentenced yet in the Nike case and is awaiting trial in the other two. If justice is served, he will be spending the rest of his miserable life in the slammer and it's doubtful President Trump will pardon him.

Trump's ex-lawyer, Mickey "The Chin" Cohen in 'the hole'

Mickey "The Chin" Cohen, 53, is doing 3 big ones in Otisville, Federal Correctional Institution [aka the joint] for screwing with campaign finance laws, according to his lawyer and two anonymous sources whose lives are at risk if they drop a dime on the case. [H/T Reuters and the jasmine of my mind] He was sentenced in 2018 for directing hush money to pornography performer Stormy Daniels and Playboy model Karen McDougal, both who claimed Trump shtupped them. Trump denies the alleged shtuppings.

The Chin, as he is known to the screws and his crew, was transferred on Wednesday to a Special Housing Unit, possibly due to a complaint lodged by another inmate who accused him of hogging the Jacuzzi and steam room, but this is only scuttlebutt and may have something more to do with chronic fibbing.

Until this time, Cohen had been housed in a minimum-security camp at Otisville, which is about 70 miles (110 km for Canadians) northwest of New York City where The Chin committed the heinous crime with which he was charged and sentenced.

A former representative for Cohen, Lanny Davis, declined to comment but may make a statement on the Comedy News Network if he can make a few bucks out of the deal.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons said it could not comment on the circumstances of individual inmates but might do so for a carton of smokes.

In March, The Chin begged for his release from the slammer because he was scared that he might get the Chinese Communist Wuhan Wet Market or Lab Coronavirus, or COVID-19, as it is known to China apologists. His request was denied in strong terms by U.S. District Judge William Pauley who wrote on March 23:

“Ten months into his prison term, it’s time that Cohen accept the consequences of his criminal convictions for serious crimes that had far reaching institutional harms."

Another Trump-hating lawyer named Michael whose surname is Avenatti, also wanted to be set free for his low-life crimes out of fear of getting the coronavirus and his request was also denied.

The Chin is eligible for release in November 2021.

Michaels Cohen and Avenatti want freedom from Wuhan Virus

United States District Judge William H. Pauley III refused a request filed by Michael Cohen, for early release from his 3-year prison sentence due to his fear over the spread of the Wuhan Coronavirus within the prison system.

Cohen, you may recall, served as President Trump's personal lawyer, but has since been disbarred and can no longer practice law, although he will probably do so in the slammer. He was charged with campaign finance violations and lying to Congress.

Cohen asked the judge for a possible home confinement option on his release but this was not accepted by Pauley, who went on to blast Cohen for the request and suggested that Cohen was simply trying to use the pandemic to attempt to "inject himself into the news cycle." 

But then, of course, he did.

“Apparently searching for a new argument to justify a modification of his sentence to home confinement, Cohen now raises the specter of COVID-19,” Pauley wrote in his response Tuesday as reported by Fox News.  “That Cohen would seek to single himself out for release to home confinement appears to be just another effort to inject himself into the news cycle.”

Judge Pauley also pointed out Cohen’s previous attempt to gain an early release — a cooperation effort during which prosecutors came to believe that Cohen was lying, according to The Associated Press.

“Unable to articulate how he advanced any investigation or prosecution, Cohen and his surrogates make extravagant allegations that the Department of Justice — from the Attorney General down to line prosecutors — acted in bad faith,” wrote Pauley. “Those ad hominem attacks lack any substance and do not trigger the right to remedy or a hearing before this Court.”

As such, Judge Pauley wrote that it was time for Cohen to “accept the consequences of his criminal convictions for serious crimes that had far reaching institutional harms,” and that he disbarred lawyer should stop trying to score early release, reported CNN, in spite of my belief that Trump will win a second term and Cohen will be released before Trump's term ends, and therefore CNN will hire him as another Trump attack dog.

Now we have the other Michael--the Avenatti one.

U.S. District Court Judge James Selna, in Los Angeles, has rejected a plea from convicted lawyer and CNN hopeful for the U.S. presidency, Michael Avenatti, to be released from jail because of the risk he, like the other legal loser aforementioned, could contract the Wuhan Coronavirus.

Avenatti’s claim that a bout he had with pneumonia last September puts him in grave danger if COVID-19 begins to rampage through federal prisons like the Manhattan detention center where he’s currently locked up.

The shyster lawyer was convicted by a New York federal court jury last month on charges of trying to extort the giant corporation Nike and is facing other federal charges in Manhattan and Los Angeles, also contended that his cellmate, who Avenatti was very very fond of, was recently removed after exhibiting fever and a severe cough.

But Selna, who revoked Avenatti’s bail in January based on evidence of extensive financial manipulation, said the health concerns were not adequate to justify his release, and he was just being a scared Nancy boy.

“The Court is mindful of the Covid 19 pandemic,” Selna wrote in a three-page order Saturday. “The Court accepts Avenatti’s showing that the had pneumonia about six months ago. ... However, there is no showing that his cellmate was infected by the virus, and there have been no reported cases of Covid 19 at the New York MCC.”

“There is no basis to release Avenatti on medical grounds,” added Selna, a President George W. Bush appointee. “The Bureau of Prisons and MCC specifically have taken substantial steps to mitigate the effects of the pandemic. MCC has moved ‘at-risk’ prisoners, which presumably includes Avenatti, to a separate unit.”

So Avenatti should stop being a wimp, he implied.

Federal prosecutors opposed Avenatti’s recent request for release, arguing that his risk of infection is “minimal and entirely manageable.”

“Defendant … has not cited any information or evidence demonstrating that defendant, who is an otherwise healthy 49-year man, is at greater risk from COVID-19 merely because he may have had pneumonia six months ago,” government lawyers wrote. “Thus, there is no reason to conclude that defendant’s personal circumstances are meaningfully distinguishable from the vast majority of individuals detained in BOP facilities or would justify the extraordinary relief he now seeks.”

So he, like his soulmate Michael Cohen, do not get special treatment just because CNN's Brian Stelter fell hard for him, and the network thought he would make a great U.S. president. All that shows is their judgment deficits.

The prosecution also said Avenatti’s history indicated that the CNN hopeful was not only likely to defy court orders, but also the statewide lockdown ordered by Gov. Gavin Newsom [aka: "The Human Ken Doll"].

“A person who ignores such admonitions and rules could increase infection rates, leading to severe illness and death. Defendant has shown an unwillingness or inability to follow rules, and a disregard for the welfare of others. Thus, defendant’s failure to follow rules poses particular dangers to the community,” prosecutors wrote.

The only rule Avenatti is likely to follow is the unspoken rule: don't drop the soap in the shower.

Meanwhile, Michael Cohen has reportedly stopped weeping over his incarceration and has become "one of the guys" 

Documents submitted by the government said officials at the Manhattan detention center where Avenatti is located have taken numerous steps to limit the risk of a COVID-19 outbreak, including screening prisoners and staff for fevers, distributing more soap and segregating most prisoners over 55.

However, H. Dean Steward, a lawyer [whose mother wanted to name him something starting with "H" but couldn't come up with anything] for Avenatti, said the conditions at the lower-Manhattan jail known as the MCC are deplorable, like all Trump voters, and are inviting a major COVID outbreak.

"Mr. Avenatti’ s cell contained three rats,"[Moe, Larry and Curly] Steward claimed. "Inmates on one unit were forced to share one toilet among 26 people, and prevented from washing their clothing: prime conditions for the spread, rather than containment, of infectious disease."

Pity the plumber--nobody ever mentions him.

Avenatti’s trial in the New York case involving stealing from Daniels is set to open April 21, but the judge handling that matter said last week it seemed “highly doubtful” it would go forward then due to virus-related suspensions of most proceedings in federal courts nationwide.

Avenatti’s trial on fraud, perjury, tax dodging, and embezzlement charges in the Los Angeles case is scheduled for May 19, but Selna said that will likely be postponed as well.

Avenatti's sentencing on the Nike extortion charges is set for June 17.

He's in big trouble.

BREAKING: Michael Avenatti: guilty of extortion

Porn lawyer and failed CNN candidate for the presidency Michael Avenatti was convicted in federal court on three counts of attempting to extort $25 million from Nike. He will probably need to go shopping for "Soap on a Rope" because he certainly doesn't want to drop it in the prison shower.

“The verdict was returned Friday by a Manhattan federal jury after it deliberated charges of attempted extortion and honest services fraud in what prosecutors say was an attempt by Avenatti to extort up to $25 million from Nike with threats to otherwise harm it,” The Associated Press reported. “The charges carry a combined potential penalty of 42 years in prison.”

Avenatti gained his fame by setting up shop in the hallways of CNN where he was lauded as the next Democratic president. He sent chills up both legs of Brian Stelter and had Chris Matthews inviting him for a cup of coffee.

The crooked lawyer represented porn performer Stormy Daniels [aka Stephanie Clifford] in a lawsuit against President Trump. In October 2016, Trump's personal lawyer and card-carrying idiot, Michael Cohen, paid Daniels $130,000 to have her deny she had an affair with Trump in 2006. Although Trump spokespeople denied the affair, nobody who knows Trump that voted for him gives a damn of the veracity of the claim. 

Subsequently, Daniels claimed that Avenatti owes her $300,000 that he denies owing. Federal prosecutors in New York City said Avenatti used a doctored document to divert that money Daniels was supposed to receive as an advance on a book deal. Then the scumbag lawyer was alleged to use the money for his personal and business expenses. He only paid back half of what he owed her, prosecutors say.

Regarding the current extortion charge, Manhattan U.S. Attorney Geoffrey S. Berman said: “As alleged, Avenatti used illegal and extortionate threats for the purpose of obtaining millions of dollars in payments from a public company. Calling this anticipated payout a retainer or a settlement doesn’t change what it was – a shakedown. When lawyers use their law licenses as weapons, as a guise to extort payments for themselves, they are no longer acting as attorneys. They are acting as criminals, and they will held responsible for their conduct.”

This is probably the tip of the iceberg, or in Avenatti's case, the floater in the kid's pool. There will likely be a lot more to follow.

Avenatti even worse than we thought: took money from football fans

So what's new with Michael Avenatti? Well, you know he's in trouble over the Nike extortion situation. He's also in trouble with owing clients and company partners money. 

Now the former future of the Democratic Party is accused of stealing money from dozens more clients than was previously known, according to unsealed documents and interviews with Fox News.

The allegation is that the disgraced porn lawyer directed as much as $1,300,000 in settlement funds, intended for about 170 clients, to go into his own pocket.

On a happier note, the bald-headed stooge is sitting in jail awaiting trial in New York on unrelated, but a serious charge.  

Avenatti is the guy who was lavished with praise, love and admiration by MSNBC and CNN, two of the hardest-hitting cable news companies in the business. Just kidding, they suck. These clowns were hoping for Avenatti [who is also in the clown business] to run against President Trump in this year's election. And Chris Matthews of MSNBC wanted to go out with Avenatti for coffee.

As it turns out, the only thing Avenatti will be running for is the shower room door when Bubba and his crew with tattoos come to greet him.

“We didn’t receive any of that,” Donald Albaugh, an Avenatti client said regarding money he was to receive over a lawsuit against the NFL for which Avenatti represented him. Albaugh said he and his wife, Tracy, went to the 2011 Super Bowl in Dallas but, like hundreds of other ticket holders, had problems with their seats and sued the NFL.

FYI the Green Bay Packers beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 31 to 25.

“The whole thing is so ludicrous,” Arianne Dar told Fox News about taking her son to the game as a graduation present. Dar said she made sure to buy tickets that were not “obstructed view” but they ended up behind a metal pole. “I never heard about a settlement."

H. Dean Steward, a real lawyer, who Avenatti hired to represent him last year, did not immediately respond to a Fox News request for comment. But a guy with only a letter for a first name must be very important, indeed--kind of like H. Allen Smith author of "Low Man on the Totem Pole," and "Life in a Putty Knife Factory," among other things.

The Albaughs and Dar said they each submitted itemized costs to Avenatti and his legal team seeking reimbursement for about $10,000, but they haven’t seen a penny.

In May 2017, Avenatti, representing the ticket holders, entered into an agreement with the NFL for a settlement of about $1,550,000 and a dismissal of all legal claims. However, in March of last year, a search warrant was issued by the IRS of Avenatti's computers and his phones were also seized. It was discovered that he paid out only a fraction of that settlement, according to IRS Special Agent Remoun Karlous.

“Avenatti used the remainder of the approximately $1.31 million dollars [he] and his law firm received from the settlement of the Super Bowl Litigation for [his] own personal and business purposes,” Karlous wrote.

Although Avenatti has not been charged with defrauding his clients in the Super Bowl case, Karlous wrote, “The government will be seeking to admit this evidence at trial on the basis that this criminal conduct falls squarely within and is inextricably intertwined with” an already existing 36-count federal fraud indictment in Orange County, CA.

In one of those charges, Avenatti stood accused of hiding the existence of the NFL settlement from a bankruptcy court dealing with his now-former law firm. Oh my, he is in soooo much trouble. He will never be president, not even president of a condo corporation or a high school science club.

Avenatti’s office manager had witnessed the behavior, Karlous alleged, writing, “In response to a question as to whether she was aware of Avenatti taking money from client funds, [the manager] said that the plaintiffs in the Super Bowl litigation had not all been paid out ... even though there had been money available to pay them.”

Paul Colavecchi said he got money back from Avenatti, but only after his sister, who went with him to the Super Bowl, threatened to report Avenatti to the State Bar of California. None of the Avenatti clients who spoke with Fox News said they saw any paperwork from Avenatti or his firm after the settlement.

Avenatti is facing three criminal cases. Next week he is scheduled to go on trial in New York on charges of trying to extort $25 million from Nike Corp. However, last week the scumwafer was arrested in Los Angeles for allegedly violating his bond, so the timing of the New York case may need to be changed.

Avenatti is also accused of stealing money from pornography film "actress" Stormy Daniels. He represented Daniels in litigation against President Trump over a consensual sex allegation which the president denies and nobody cares about. In his defense, the President referred to Ms. Daniels as "Horseface," intimating that he would never have a sexual encounter with someone who looks like her.

Brilliant defense but it may not get him the women vote this year.

Cheer Up: Michael Avenatti was arrested

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.

Prosecutors: Avenatti in deep debt wanted big payday

You remember the porn lawyer, Michael Avenatti--he's the guy who spent more air time on CNN than Adam Schiff. Okay, maybe not more time, but at least as much as old "Bug Eyes." They loved Avenatti at the Comedy News Network, he was the antidote for President Trump and golly, maybe he would be our next progressive president, they thought.

But the California shyster is in deep legal poo as prosecutors say that he was up to his scalp in debt to the tune of $15 million when he attempted to extort up to $25 million from Nike. His lawyers say, however, that the money he legally requested was to conduct an internal probe of Nike and what he was asking for [i.e., trying to extort] was actually quite a bargain.

The Manhattan criminal trial is set for January 22 and U.S. District Judge Paul Gardephe will have to decide what the jury will be permitted to hear from both sides. However, a bigger question will be whether or not CNN and MSNBC will cover the case and the three scheduled subsequent trials over the next five months.

Avenatti has denied all charges, as is his wont.

The criminal charges against him in the other cases include allegations in New York that he defrauded his ex-client porn actress Stormy Daniels [who was referred to as "Horse Face" by President Trump] out of proceeds of a book deal and charges in Los Angeles that he defrauded clients of millions of dollars.

Federal prosecutors said they will show the jury that the former CNN star and porn lawyer owed "conservatively, in excess of $15 million" to former clients, one or more former law partners, and a lawyer referred to by the government as "Attorney-1," they said.

Prosecutors also plan to prove Avenatti's debts through documents and testimony from a witness who helped the CNN star manage his finances and a law enforcement witness.

The evidence will prove “that he had extraordinary indebtedness, and thus the need and motive to quickly generate substantial sums of money at the time when he engaged in the charged conduct,” prosecutors wrote, and these debts were relevant to uncover his motives, especially since he claimed that his motives were "benign or even altruistic."

Yeah sure, Avenatti is about as altruistic as a snake and as benign as stage 4 cancer.

Michael Avenatti blames his arrest on 'vindictive' prosecutors

New York -- Porn lawyer, former CNN regular and 2020 presidential hopeful Michael Avenatti is asking a judge to dismiss criminal charges against him regarding the extortion of Nike. He blames his arrest not on what he allegedly did, but on vindictive prosecutors.  He has released material that his own lawyers say support his claim Nike was paying amateur athletes.

If that is true, it does not seem to exonerate him for trying to get Nike to pay him to keep his mouth shut.

Avenatti's attorneys filed papers Wednesday in Manhattan Federal Court, saying that he, a loudmouth who gained fame by representing pornography performer Stormy Daniels, and by attacking President Trump on social media, is being unfairly targeted by the Justice Department.

Unless one takes the crime of extortion seriously.

The lawyers wrote that Avenatti was facing criminal charges in part because of “his aggressive public persona, long feud with President Trump, and brief entanglement with” New York prosecutors who blamed him for spoiling a planned meeting with Daniels last year in their probe of ex-Trump lawyer Michael Cohen.

Sure, the Democratic New York prosecutors are all on Trump's side against this shyster piece of human waste, who bilked one of his clients, a paraplegic man, out of hundreds of thousands of dollars.

And Cohen is serving a three-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to charges.

“President Trump, the leader of the Executive Branch, and his family have demonstrated genuine animus toward Mr. Avenatti,” the lawyers said, failing to mention that this should have actually worked in Avenatti's favor. “President Trump’s son, Donald Trump, Jr., gleefully celebrated on Twitter when Mr. Avenatti was arrested on March 25.”

So did most patriotic Americans.

Prosecutors declined through a spokesman to comment.

Avenatti has pleaded not guilty to charges he tried to extort up to $25 million from Nike by threatening to publicize claims the sportswear company enabled payouts to promising young athletes and their families.

Avenatti also represented Stormy Daniels over a nondisclosure deal regarding Daniels’ claims that she had an affair with Trump.

Avenatti is charged separately with defrauding Daniels in a book deal, and he faces federal fraud charges in California related to clients. He has denied wrongdoing over and over and over.

But it's Trump's fault. Everything wrong in the world is somehow President Trump's fault.

They're eating their own: Avenatti blasts Alyssa Milano as a 'disgusting hypocrite'

Porn actress specialist attorney Mike Avenatti went after mediocre actress Alyssa Milano on Twitter Monday. He was angry by a tweet Milano posted after his arrest for domestic violence last November.

At the time, Milano said, as reported by Fox News, that the domestic violence allegations against the former CNN presidential hopeful, were "totally disgusting" and that she was "disavowing" Avenatti. This must have cut the sleazy lawyer to the quick as he had always been a fan of "Who's the Boss" and fellow Trump-haters.

Avenatti was arrested  in November 2018 after an ex-girlfriend, who was not a porn actress, accused him of grabbing her forcibly by the wrist and bodily throwing her out of his luxurious apartment that may have been paid for by CNN's Brian Stelter, allegedly.

The Los Angeles City Attorney's Office announced in February that Avenatti would not be charged with a crime because he was a progressive and gets a free pass this time.

For some crazy reason, Avenatti chose to respond on Monday -- about eight months after the actress' tweet -- by labeling her a "disgusting hypocrite."

And when it comes to disgusting, Michael Avenatti wrote the book.

"You preach about Trump's need to follow the constitution but then ignore it yourself," Avenatti wrote in a blind porn rage. "You are a disgusting hypocrite. I don't care what side you are on. Where the hell is my apology for you proclaiming my guilt for something I was never even charged with?" he said, but the case is still open, according to the LA DA [Doo-dah.] He can still be charged, but I suspect that Eric Swalwell has a better chance of being elected President of the United States than that ever happening.

Meanwhile, the scumcrumpet weasel is still facing a number of federal charges in California and New York for allegedly trying to blackmail Nike, as well as other crimes. It's on audio tape so Avenatti has as much chance of winning this case as Bernie Sanders has of holding a real job faw maw than a yeaah.

Last week, to the delight of President Trump, the California State Bar made a motion to suspend Avenatti's law license, [that he apparently found inside a box of Cracker Jacks.] The state bar argued that his alleged conduct "poses a substantial threat of harm to clients or the public."

Hopefully, Avenatti will represent himself and prove the old adage that a person who represents themself in a court trial, has an idiot for a client.

Paraplegic man sues Avenatti for allegedly siphoning his $4 million settlement

Here we go again. You remember the deal with all those folks who were angry at Michael Avenatti--the porn lawyer who was supposed to run against Donald Trump on the Comedy News Network ticket--one of them is a paraplegic man who was allegedly screwed out of his settlement of $4 million. Now that man is suing the former CNN star, seeking a minimum of $9.5 million in damages.

Allegedly, Avenatti concealed the settlement money from his client, Geoffrey Johnson, for several years while draining its funds for himself. If true, this would define Avenatti as one of the scummiest lawyers of all time and possibly one of the worst people to be affiliated with CNN aside from Jim Acosta, Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo.

Avenatti denies the claim as he denies all the other allegations against him. This is merely the latest blow against him.

Johnson received a $4 million settlement in early 2015 after suing Los Angeles County for alleged abuse from guards and inmates while he was held in jail, the lawsuit states. Johnson had been improperly arrested as a result of mental health issues, according to his attorneys. [Welcome to Avenatti's world.]

The complaint names the shyster lawyer, Avenatti, his law firm and his former colleagues as defendants. Avenatti is already facing criminal charges for the accusations listed in Johnson’s suit as well as other accusations. Even porn performer Stormy Daniels [aka Stephanie Clifford] has stopped calling and wants nothing more to do to him, if, indeed, she did.

For years after the scumcrumpet received the settlement on Johnson’s behalf, Avenatti led the paraplegic man to believe that the county hadn’t yet paid the settlement and would only pay it out over a period of years, according to the lawsuit. Avenatti allegedly paid Johnson a $1,900 monthly “advance” on the settlement.

“In approximately February 2019, Johnson asked Avenatti again about the status of the special needs trust and settlement payment. Avenatti falsely told him that Los Angeles County had not yet begun releasing the settlement funds,” the lawsuit states, which if true, is a baldface fib.

Johnson lost his Social Security benefits beginning in February as a result of Avenatti’s alleged lie, according to the complaint. Avenatti allegedly provided the Social Security Administration with “false information” in “a further attempt to hide the siphoning of Johnson’s settlement funds and the successful, years-long effort to cover it up,” the complaint states.

The crap weasel lawyer allegedly forced Johnson in March to sign a statement describing Avenatti as an ethical attorney, [seriously] roughly one month before Avenatti was indicted on a litany of federal charges.

Avenatti called Johnson’s accusations “categorically false and frivolous” in a statement Friday to The Daily Caller News Foundation. 

Avenatti plans to fight the charges made by Johnson and he also plans to fight President Trump in a televised MMA battle to the death, but he may have to do so in the slammer.

That's almost a good as the night Trump won the presidency and that crazy woman screamed at the sky.

Avenatti's no good very bad days lie ahead

Michael Avenatti is going to start his no good day in Manhattan Federal Court, just a stone's throw from the Brooklyn Bridge and New York's Chinatown. When he's finished his day, not as a lawyer, but as a defendant, he might head out for some interesting Chinese food along Mott Street and perhaps order his favorite dish: Sum Dum Fool. It comes with sticky rice and 69 years in the slammer.

Avenatti, 49, is scheduled to be arraigned on charges of trying to extort up to $25 million from Nike, the athletic apparel-maker, by threatening to expose claims that they paid off high school basketball players to steer them to Nike-sponsored colleges.

But wait! That's not all.

The chrome-dome lawyer is also scheduled to be arraigned on charges that he stole nearly $300,000 from pornography performer and alleged Donald Trump one-night-stand accuser, Stormy Daniels, the client who rocketed him to national prominence and put a rocket in his pocket, a spring to his step, and a strange discoloration in his southern hemisphere.

In the Nike case, the shyster is charged with one count of extortion, one count of sending interstate communications with intent to extort and two counts of conspiracy.

And he wanted to be President almost as much as Brian Stelter wanted him to be, and also to sit in his lap.

But wait, that's not all.

In the Stormy Daniels case, Avenatti is charged with one count of wire fraud and one count of aggravated identity theft. If convicted on all counts, Avenatti could face a total of 69 years in prison. Not surprisingly, Stormy Daniels laughed when she heard that number.

Avenatti repeatedly has denied any wrongdoing [LOL] and is expected to plead not guilty to all charges. He claims to be a prince of a guy, "unlike Trump, who I'd like to punch in his f***in' face," he said in his best DeNiro voice to Brain Flushings' Bobby "The Punim" Ortez.

Avenatti was initially arrested on March 25 at a New York law firm where he had scheduled a meeting with Nike executives to allegedly extort their company out of millions.

On March 19, six days prior to that meeting, prosecutors said, Avenatti and a co-conspirator, identified as CNN celebrity attorney, Mark Geragos, met with attorneys for Nike and "threatened to release damaging information" if the company did not agree to make multi-million dollar payments to them, as well as an additional $1.5 million payment to a California youth basketball coach Avenatti claimed to represent [and probably owed that money to and would have likely screwed out of the money if the guy really existed.]

According to the U.S. government, Avenatti threatened to hold a news conference on the eve of Nike's quarterly earnings call and the start of the NCAA tournament to announce allegations of misconduct by Nike employees, at one point telling Nike's lawyers he would "take ten billion dollars off your client's market cap . . . I'm not f***ing around."

Yes, he was serious and will probably serve serious time in the clink and become friendly with guys named Bubba and Sledge.

Avenatti was indicted formally in the Nike matter on Wednesday, the same day prosecutors indicted him in the Stormy Daniels case, in which they claimed Avenatti stole two payments totaling $297,500 from an advance Daniels was supposed to receive from a book deal in the summer of 2018. 

The book's tentative title was: "Put My Money Where My Other Greasy Money Is," according to "The Punim."

Court documents said Avenatti gave Daniels' literary agent an adulterated letter with her signature directing the agent to divert the money to an account controlled by Avenatti, who continues to prove his chances of becoming President of the United States of America. 

Avenatti then allegedly spent the money "on airfare, hotels, car services, restaurants and meal delivery, online retailers, payroll for his law firm and another business he owned, and insurance."

I'll say it again, what a prince of a guy.

The indictment said that after "The Stormster" asked Avenatti why she had not received the first payment, Avenatti lied and claimed he was still trying to extract the money from the publisher. Weeks later, the lawyer allegedly "used funds recently received from another source" to pay Daniels the amount she was owed -- $148,750.

Soon thereafter, prosecutors said Avenatti received another payment of $148,750 from Daniels' agent and used the money on personal expenses, including a lease payment on a Ferrari which he refused to allow Brian Stelter to ride in.

When Daniels asked for the remaining money, Avenatti allegedly misled her, claiming that it was the book's publisher who was refusing to pay the amount to her literary agent. She was ready to put a hit out on the guy if he didn't fork over the bread, but then she learned who the real scumcrumpet was--the guy who was living big on CNN--Michael Avenatti.

Avenatti's legal issues have been quite formidable, but his troubles are not limited to New York, [where Bill de Blasio's Big Apple has troubles of its own.]

In March, federal prosecutors in Southern California accused Avenatti of committing bank fraud and wire fraud by embezzling settlement money from not one, not two, but five clients, including a paraplegic man, to pay personal expenses and debts — did I mention he's a prince of a guy? He also embezzled from his coffee business and law firm and would have gone after Little Sisters of the Poor, but they don't have much money to steal.

It's even rumored that Avenatti stole the paraplegic man's wheelchair battery to use as a spare for his Ferrari and once kicked a puppy because it was cute.

His mother must have been so proud of him when he graduated correspondence law school with a C+ average. "That's my boy. That's my Mikey boy," she must've told her friends at the beauty parlor. "You should see him with the girls. They're all over him."

According to U.S. Attorney Nick Hanna, Avenatti also obtained $4.1 million in loans from a Mississippi bank by using fraudulent tax returns that stated he made more than $14 million of his own money between 2011 and 2013 and had paid more than $1 million in estimated taxes to the IRS in 2012 and 2013. 

In fact, investigators said, Avenatti owed the IRS $850,438 plus interest and penalties for the years 2009 and 2010, paid no personal income taxes for 2011, 2012 and 2013 and paid no estimated taxes in 2012 and 2013. In other words, Avenatti is a deadbeat, in the spirit of Bernie Sanders.

What a prince of a guy. Especially for what he did to the paraplegic man.

If convicted of all 36 counts in the California case, Avenatti faces up to 335 years in prison. He will be 384 years old when he finally walks out of prison,  [not counting the 69 years New York would have him serve], but he will not be permitted to practice law, even if somehow he wasn't disbarred because robots will be litigating by then.

Communist News Network's Stelter experiences 'brain fart' over Avenatti coverage

The Communist News Network's (CNN) Brian Stelter views Michael Avenatti as everything he hopes to be someday--right down to his totally bald dome. He had the embattled shyster lawyer on his show a gazillion times and fawned over him, even suggesting that Avenatti might be president of the United States some day.

CNN helped make a star out of the weasel, Michael Avenatti, but now the network’s in-house media guru Brian Stelter has been caught saying junk to his four hundred followers on Thursday about his coverage of the former porn lawyer, and he ended up deleting a tweet in the process.

Vanity Fair, the magazine for white privileged people, published a lengthy feature story on Tuesday about the “epic fall” of the lying sack of fertilizer, Michael Avenatti. It’s the type of story that would typically find itself with prime real estate in CNN’s “Reliable Sources” media newsletter. But the so-called "reporter" omitted the negative story about Avenatti altogether -- and media watchdogs took notice.

“Weird how MEDIA reporter @brianstelter doesn't mention the Vanity Fair story on MEDIA darling Avenatti in his nightly newsletter,” Washington Free Beacon media analyst Cameron Cawthorne tweeted with a link to Wednesday's newsletter. “So weird!”

Stelter responded with a snarky claim he covered the Vanity Fair story in his “Reliable Sources” newsletter on Tuesday, but of course, this was fake news and Avenatti was not mentioned in the newsletter on either night.

“This is false. I looked at the last two newsletters before I tweeted my original tweet. You did not include anything about Avenatti or the Vanity Fair story,” Cawthorne fired back.

Once Stelter was confronted about the erroneous claim, CNN's senior media correspondent deleted the inaccurate tweet and chalked it up to getting “mixed up.”

More like he either lied or experienced a brain fart. I suspect the former and this was why he was initially snarky.

“You're right, I'm wrong, I got mixed up. Now the trolls have a legit reason to dunk on me… Will include it tonight,” Stelter wrote, trying to proactively blame trolls for his fake claim.

CNN did not immediately respond to a request for comment because they were humiliated.

In 2018, a Media Research Center study revealed that the shyster lawyer appeared on CNN no less than 74 times over a 10-week period. Rumor has it that he pitched a pup-tent on the network's campus.

At the height of the crap-weasel's fame, he spent some rare time away from CNN’s greenroom partying with the network’s anchors while regularly appearing on late-night shows, MSNBC and “The View,” America's political braintrust and buffed chick pundits.

Last year, Juanita Scarlett, [a former aide to blockhead Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) and his equally clueless brother of CNN host Chris Cuomo] tweeted -- and then deleted – a photo of herself with Avenatti and another CNN opinion "journalist," Don Lemon. The photo was apparently taken at Lemon's posh Hamptons home where a wild party was in full swing.

It’s unknown how many other CNN personalities were at Lemon’s “Sag Harbor soiree,” but it’s clear Avenatti had a tight personal relationship with CNN staff before he got caught stealing from his porn actress client and trying to extort the Nike Company.

He could [but won't] spend 322 years in prison, but after the first 100, it's likely they'll let him go for dead behavior.

As a result, Stelter famously told Avenatti on camera last year, "One of the reasons why I'm taking you seriously as a [2020 presidential] contender is because of your presence on cable news.” Then Stelter covertly blew him a kiss as his face turned scarlet due to his inability to hide his true feelings.

It’s now safe to assume Avenatti will be giving up his presidential aspirations. He has as much chance of being POTUS as Donald Trump has of becoming Pope.

So, Avenatti was charged by federal prosecutors in New York Wednesday with defrauding pornography film performer Stormy Daniels. He faces one count of wire fraud and one count of aggravated identity theft and is looking at up to 22 years in prison if convicted of those charges.

Avenatti allegedly stole $300,000 belonging to Ms. Daniels from a book deal advance, which prosecutors claim he used to "maintain his extravagant lifestyle, including to pay for, among other things, a monthly car payment on a Ferrari.” Avenatti already faces dozens of other criminal charges. It is unknown whether the book will contain photos of Ms. Daniels performing her art.

Stelter isn’t the only CNN host to overlook negative Avenatti news, as the network completely ignored the news during primetime on Wednesday, according to Fox News research. CNN aired four segments dedicated to Avenatti on Wednesday but none came during the 7-11 p.m. ET hours anchored by Erin Burnett. Anderson Cooper, Cuomo and Lemon, all who allegedly still want to sleep with Avenatti.

CNN also downplayed Avenatti's 2018 arrest perhaps because they were embarrassed over their lack of verification of their "truths."

In an emailed statement to Fox News, Avenatti said: "I look forward to a jury hearing all of the evidence and passing judgment on my conduct. At no time was any money misappropriated or mishandled. I will be fully exonerated once the relevant emails, contracts, text messages, and documents are presented."

And if he's convicted and sentenced to 322 years, he will still proclaim his innocence, Brian Stelter will still be a crappy reporter and CNN along with MSNBC, will still suck pond scum through a loopy-straw.
