Michael Cohen says he was "pressured" and "coerced" by Alvin Bragg and Letitia James to testify against Trump

Here we go again with another chapter in the never-ending Trump legal soap opera, but this time the script flip is coming from the guy who used to be the star witness against him.

Michael Cohen, the former fixer who spent years singing like a canary with a grudge, is now admitting he was "pressured" and "coerced" by Alvin Bragg and Letitia James to deliver the anti-Trump testimony they so desperately wanted.

In his latest Substack missive (because, of course, it's on Substack), Cohen drops this gem:"I felt pressured and coerced to only provide information and testimony . . .  against President Trump."

And just in case that wasn't clear enough, he doubles down: "I felt pressured and coerced to only provide information and testimony that would satisfy the government's desire to build the cases against and secure a judgment and convictions against President Trump."

He says the pressure started right from the opening bell in his first meetings with the prosecutors working for Bragg and James.

Regarding James specifically, Cohen writes: "Letitia James made it publicly known during her 2018 campaign for attorney general that, if elected, she would go after President Trump. Her office made clear that the testimony they wanted from me was testimony that would help them do just that. Again, I felt compelled and coerced to deliver what they were seeking."

Trump, never one to miss a chance to say "I told you so," called the whole thing proof of a "very corrupt investigation" in a Friday night chat with conservative media site The Daily Wire. He's been calling Cohen a liar since the beginning, and now the liar is basically agreeing that the fix was in to get him to talk. Cohen walks through the two big cases: the civil fraud suit from James' office about Trump supposedly puffing up asset values for loans, and the Manhattan DA's criminal hush-money extravaganza involving Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal.

Juries bought it both times, of course.

Cohen unconsciously covers his groin area

But now Cohen is out here saying: "Letitia James and Alvin Bragg may not share the same office or political calendar, but they share the same playbook. Both used their platforms to elevate their profiles, to claim the mantle of the officials who 'took down Trump.' In doing so, they blurred the line between justice and politics; and in that blur, the credibility of both suffered."

And the reason he's finally speaking up? A federal appeals court just breathed new life into Trump's push to toss the hush-money conviction, and Cohen figures staying quiet would make him complicit.

"I am not writing this to defend Donald Trump, nor to re-litigate his conduct," he insists. "That ground has been plowed endlessly, often loudly, and rarely thoughtfully. I am writing because I have seen this system from the inside. . . . When politics and prosecution become indistinguishable, public trust erodes; not just in individual cases, like mine and/or Trump's, but in the system itself. That erosion serves no one, regardless of party, personality, or power."

Translation: The guy who helped build the cases is now telling us the scaffolding was rigged from the start.

Color me shocked. Just kidding. This is New York justice we're talking about, after all.

BREAKING: Trump Sentencing Delayed in Hush Money Case

NEW YORK CITY -- Professor Alan Dershowitz coined the term "lawfare," and it's appropriate to use it in the case[s] brought against President-elect Donald Trump. The case in question here is the one brought up about pornography performer Stormy Daniels [whose real name is Stephanie A. Gregory Clifford] in which Trump was found guilty but sentencing has been delayed indefinitely.

Prosecutors appear to be leaning toward freezing the case for four years while Trump is in office so that it hangs over his head while he heads the country. See, it's more important for the lunatic left to make him look bad and perhaps fail as president, than it is to want the US to be successful and the world to be safe. If that wasn't true, the borders would have been closed, walls built, when Joe Biden came into power.

That is why Trump won the election--people are fed up with the left and their actions that seem to show they care more about the illegal aliens coming into the country, than our citizens, which is why Hurricane Milton's victims received a paltry $750 while illegal aliens got $10,000 dollars, luxury hotel housing, and free medical benefits.

Judge Juan Merchan, in a one-page court filing, granted a request to postpone Trump's scheduled sentencing on Nov. 26 as defense lawyers continue to work to dismiss the case, according to multiple media reports. 

Merchan's daughter, Loren Merchan, has been involved with Authentic Campaigns, a consulting firm that works with Democratic clients, including some who've criticized Trump or fundraised based upon his legal issues.

Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts related to hush money payments made years ago to Stormy Daniels.

Earlier this week, District Attorney Alvin Bragg in a letter to Merchan filed on Tuesday wrote that his office acknowledges that Trump is not likely to be sentenced “until after the end or after the end of Defendant’s upcoming presidential term.”

Bragg also told Merchan not to dismiss Trump’s conviction because Bragg hates Trump and also happens to be an incompetent attorney with a chip on his shoulder.

This story is still developing.

Legal analyst and Zoomturbator, Jeff Toobin had offered cash to abort his son after he got his co-worker's daughter pregnant

Jeffrey Toobin, a legal analyst for the Comedy News Network and renown Zoom chicken choker, recently gave commentary on the network about former president Donald Trump's hush money trial. And while he tried to come off as a virtuous, 'holier than thou' analyst and paint Trump as a sexually immoral person, Toobin's past is not only checkered, but it's also a hot mess and his name has become a verb: 'to Toobin.'

In 2020 he was fired from the New Yorker  for 'taking matters into his own hands' during a Zoom call with the organization’s senior staff. [H/T New York Post.]

There is also a second woman who reportedly claimed Toobin came onto her with course sexual advances at a party, which she rebuffed. 

Toobin, 63, has no moral ground to stand on when attacking Trump as his past shows us. While Trump allegedly tried to buy Stormy Daniels' [aka Stephanie Clifford] silence regarding an affair she claims they had, Toobin once tried to pay for a lover's abortion in an attempt to keep their relationship secret. The woman in question is the daughter of Toobin's coworker.

The hot and cold relationship Toobin had with Casey Greenfield, the daughter of Jeff Greenfield, was reported by the Daily News in 2010. The paper cited sources saying that the baloney bopper offered her "money if she had an abortion" after she became pregnant in 2008. Toobin was married at the time and still is.

When Greenfield refused to kill her unborn baby, Toobin became livid.

“When Casey wouldn’t have an abortion, Jeff told her she was going to regret it, that she shouldn’t expect any help from him,” another source told the tabloid. He sounds like on hell of a guy but CNN hired him back anyway. 

Toobin, is an abortion advocate who would have happily killed his unborn son, and is 13 years Greenfield’s senior. The reprehensible banana-beater only agreed to pay child support after being ordered to do so by Manhattan Family Court.

Toobin is married to and has cheated on, Amy McIntosh, a one-time executive at Verizon and the Zagat Survey, with whom he had two children that he did not kill.

CNN kept Toobin off the network for a year before he was ultimately welcomed back as they believed the viewing public has a short memory. Now the boxer of the one-eyed champ has a gig bashing former President Trump and discusses his legal troubles with women.

What a guy. What a network. What a world.

No plea deal, no cuffs, Trump's attorney says

Joe Tacopina, the attorney for former President Donald Trump and an "Imus in the Morning" guest in days of yore, said in an interview Friday that he doesn't expect his client to be handcuffed and there will be no plea deal when he turns himself in to New York law enforcement possibly on Tuesday of next week.

Trump has been indicted as a result of a 5-year investigation over an alleged $130,000 in hush money that his former associate Michael Cohen paid without his knowledge regarding Stormy Daniels, aka Stephanie Clifford, a person who does private things on video for money. The case against Trump is to determine the money recorded in business records was used to conceal or commit a second crime, or whether serial liar, Michael Cohen, is telling the truth for once.

While the indictment is still under seal, The New York Times reported that Trump faces more than two dozen counts while CNN put the number at greater than 30. The actual number is determined by how many things Alvin Bragg can creatively use to go after a former President of the United States.

The weird thing is, the left would love to see a US president go to prison because they are incapable of understanding what that suggests to the world and the implications it will have on the nation in the future.

Tacopina said in an interview on NBC News that Trump “will not take a plea deal on this case. It’s not going to happen.”

In celebration of the news, former CNN host Brian Stelter, consumed a gallon tub of Rocky Road ice cream and Joy Behar of "The View"  felt a tingle go up her legs.

“There’s no crime,” Tacopina claimed. “I don’t know if it’s gonna make it to trial because we have substantial legal challenges.”

In an interview on ABC News, Tacopina said that Trump was “shock[ed]” by the news that he was being indicted.

Nah. He expected it even though it's unprecedented in the country's history.

“This is unprecedented in this country’s history. I don’t know what to expect other than an arraignment,” he said. “I understand they’re going to be closing off blocks around the courthouse, shutting down the courthouse. You know, we’ll go in there and we’ll proceed to see a judge at some point, plead not guilty, start talking about filing motions, which we will do immediately and very aggressively regarding the legal viability of this case.”

The Democrats are hoping for violence from Trump supporters and if they're smart, they will hang back and do nothing but quietly demonstrate their disapproval while wearing buffalo horns and face paint the color of Old Glory.

The news comes as The Wall Street Journal reported that District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office has started examining an alleged $150,000 payment to former Playboy model Karen McDougal, who was Playmate of the Month for December, 1997 and almost as hot as Melania.

Trump faces additional legal jeopardy in three other criminal investigations into him, including a federal investigation into his efforts to stay in power after the 2020 election, an investigation in Georgia related to alleged meddling in the 2020 election, and another federal investigation into his handling of U.S. government records after leaving office.

Trump makes incredible claim about DA Bragg's case on him

GOP presidential candidate and former President Donald J. Trump is not one to temper hyperbole. He said on Saturday that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has dropped the case against him regarding alleged campaign violations.

"I think they've already dropped the case," Trump told reporters after appearing at a campaign rally in Waco, Texas. "It's a fake case. Some fake cases, they have absolutely nothing," he claimed.

And Trump may be correct. Alvin Bragg seems to have his eyes set on bigger things than even his belly--like running for New York State Governor and maybe even the presidency one day. So it's a no brainer that this entire case against Trump is political, especially since Bragg bragged about getting Trump when he vied for the DA job.

Trump's campaign spokesman Steven Cheung was asked by Fox News Digital about the Trump claim about the case being dropped and said: "This has been dropped because everyone knows this was a partisan witch-hunt by a radical, leftist DA that sought to politically weaponize the Justice system to influence an election."

Last week Bragg's office was expect to issue an indictment for alleged hush-money payments that Trump supposedly made as a presidential candidate in 2016 to porn actress Stormy Daniels [whose real name is Stephanie Clifford] in 2016. Trump, who dubbed Daniels with the sobriquet "Horse Face" denied the claim.

Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee demand Bragg testify before Congress about the details of the probe, which was met with a harsh response on Saturday by Bragg who apparently does not want to be held accountable for his politically motivated actions.

The office seemed to say: "We evaluate cases in our jurisdiction as we see fit, based on facts that correspond with our truth, and evidence that supports our cause against whiteness." 

But they didn't come out and say it this way.

The office told Fox News Digital that Bragg "stands by" his previous pledge to publicly state the conclusion of the investigation, "whether we conclude our work without bringing charges, or move forward with an indictment."

Then it's on to the governorship in the near future.

Meanwhile, the case is still in limbo as we wait to see if it will go forward or prove Trump right . . . again.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Mike Avenatti attacks Trump Jr. and Nike

Is porn actress lawyer Michael Avenatti trying to get in his "last licks" by going after Donald Trump Jr. and Nike, or is he simply trying to create a distraction hoping to get away with extortion much like Hillary Clinton has thus far gotten away with violating the Espionage Act?

Over the last several weeks, Avenatti, who rose to national fame after he represented porn actress Stormy Daniels [called "Horse Face" by President Trump], but have since had a falling out and parted ways. Now the slimy lawyer is facing two federal lawsuits, where in one he tried to "shake down" Nike Inc. for millions of dollars and the conversation was caught on tape by the FBI.

Rather than trying to come up with a defense for his precarious legal situation, Avenatti, who once appeared on CNN 59 times in less than two months, is trolling Nike and Donald Trump Jr. on Twitter.

On March 24, FBI Special Agent Christopher Harper submitted a complaint to the Southern District of New York alleging that a few days earlier the bald-headed idiot and an unnamed co-conspirator "devised a scheme to extort a company [Nike] by means of an interstate communication by threatening to damage the company's reputation if the company did not agree to make multi-million dollar payments to Avenatti and [his co-conspirator who we later learned worked for CNN as a commentator], and further agree to pay $1.5 million to a client of Avenatti's."

In phone calls and meetings recorded by the FBI, Avenatti allegedly threatened Nike that he would release damaging information about an "Adidas-like" scandal involving Nike employees if they did not "retain" him and his co-conspirator for millions of dollars to conduct an unasked-for internal investigation. Avenatti was charged with attempted extortion and various forms of fraud and besides prison, his soul is going to rot in hell for all eternity. So to kill time before that, he took to Twitter.

Since, the embattled lawyer has been posting tweets intended to damage Nike. "Contrary to Nike’s claims yesterday, they have NOT been cooperating with investigators for over a year," Avenatti tweeted two days after being arrested and released on $300,000 bond. "Unless you count lying in response to subpoenas and withholding documents as “cooperating.” They are trying to divert attention from their own crimes." That tweet is one of many the lawyer has since posted, proving that not only is he a complete fool, but he's also a crappy attorney.

Along with steadily attacking Nike, the cretin has been lashing out at Donald Trump Jr., apparently prompted, at least in part, by Trump Jr. ripping the lawyer over his failed Nike "shakedown."

"Fortunately we don’t all grow up with silver spoons in our mouth and a gold toilet under our ass," Avenatti declares in one post, not explaining why that would be fortunate not to have gold toilets. "If you are so smart and tough, let’s appear together and have a serious discussion about the issues. Bring the brains in the family - obviously not daddy." It might have to be a timed discussion because of the constraints on visiting hours at the federal prison where he should end up living.

In another post, Avenatti says his new enemy's "greatest two accomplishments during his lifetime are his inclusion in the lucky sperm club and carrying his sister’s puppy purse." Avenatti's "two greatest lifetime accomplishments" are his getting caught in an extortion scheme and losing the respect of a porn star.

Waffle House customer dances naked in parking lot after being asked to leave restaurant

Freedom Ryder Zobrist: winner of the Stormy Daniels'
Older Sister Lookalike Award

She has the perfect name but not so much the perfect way of handling disappointment. Freedom Ryder Zobrist who looks somewhat like Stormy Daniels will probably look like in a few more years, is scheduled to appear in court on February 7th. after she was arrested outside a  Waffle House restaurant in Pensacola, Florida after allegedly taking off her clothes and dancing naked in the parking lot and even exposing herself to employees.

According to authorities, the woman arrived at the restaurant on Monday morning and was asked to leave by the manager due to her unruly behavior.

She returned later and allegedly threatened to shoot the manager and everyone inside the restaurant, Pensacola's WEAR-TV reported.

Zobrist then walked outside and "pulled down her pants" and started dancing around the parking lot," according to the arrest report obtained by the station.

"It was not even funny," said Manny Mocules, an illegal immigrant from Guatamala. "You shoulda seen her ugly body, man. I couldn't even finish my waffle and coffee."

The manager told police that Zobrist tried grabbing his genitals and then licked both sides of his face. One witness said Zobrist was naked in front of his vehicle, according to the report.

"I mean, who she think she is, man? Stormy Freakin' Daniels?" Mocules added.

The suspect was being held in the Escambia County jail on $800 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 7. It is alleged that she asked jailers if she could work out her bail in a "different way, if you know what [I] mean."

"Is not funny. Is not funny, man."

Pensacola, Florida is number two in the nation for naked parking lot dancing and stranger genital grabbing, followed only by Hollywood, California.

Avenatti alleged to have kept money from settlements for himself

He may not be the best lawyer in the world--heck, he may be the worst--now Michael Avenatti is being accused of covertly keeping settlement money from one of his clients, spending the money on himself, then telling the client he hasn't received the funds as yet.

The client, Gregory Barela, said that Avenatti “was operating his law firm in a Ponzi scheme like manner.” But let's face it, if you are stupid enough to hire the shyster Avenatti, you're probably going to get sexed in a bad way.

The Daily Beast reported that Barela filed a statement of claims with Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services (JAMS), a private arbitration organization, arguing that after Avenatti pocketed the money from the settlement, he turned around and offered to lend some of the funds back to Barela with 10% interest.

Seriously?

The claim, which was shown to the media outlet by Barela’s attorney, claims “Avenatti was operating his law firm in a Ponzi scheme like manner, taking settlement proceeds received for clients to pay off debts, pay the other individual Defendants’ salaries and bonuses, and fund his lavish lifestyle, while telling clients that the settlement proceeds had not been received or would be received at a later date.”

Kathy "The Beheader" Griffin and Mickey

The Daily Beast reports that according to the statement from Barela’s attorney, Avenatti and a third party reached a settlement for Barela, but in January 2018 the third party deposited money into an account from which Avenatti would transfer the funds to Barela, and Avenatti later informed Barela the money had never been deposited, prompting months of worry for Barela and repeated queries of Avenatti as to the whereabouts of the money. Eventually, according to Barela, Avenatti made the offer of a loan, but Barela had now decided to hire attorneys who found from the third party that they had already paid Lyin' Loser Avenatti.

Steven Bledsoe, Barela's attorney, told The Daily Beast, “Mr. Barela hired our firm to investigate what happened to the settlement payment that he was supposed to have received early last year. As part of our investigation, we contacted the lawyer for the settling party and he gave us a copy of the unaltered settlement agreement and the wire-transfer confirmation showing that his client made the settlement payment to the bank account specified by Mr. Avenatti five days before it was due.”

Avenatti denied any wrongdoing as is his habit, telling The Daily Beast, “These allegations are completely fabricated, bogus and fraudulent. [Like all of the other allegations made by everyone else against the toad]. We have no idea where this is coming from or why someone would make up this ridiculous false story and deceive his attorneys. Until recently when we demanded to be relieved as counsel, we previously represented Mr. Barela in multiple matters and he has received 100 percent of what he is entitled to. We have never had any contact with Talitha Barela.” Talitha Barela is Gregory Barela’s wife and co-plaintiff.”

Hopefully we will soon learn the truth, and the truth may not set Avenatti free.

Stormy and Mickey

Avenatti is the so-called lawyer representing pornography performer Stormy Daniels [whose real name is Stephanie Clifford] against President Trump. It isn't known whether he had ever planned to represent Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden, but if he did, that would tell you all you need to know about this guy.

The Stormster files suit against Ohio cops who arrested her at strip club

Pornographic performer Stormy Daniels, [whose real name is Stephanie Clifford] is suing six members of an Ohio police department for $2 million for doing their job at a strip club over the summer.

'The Stormster' filed the federal defamation lawsuit with her incredibly sleazy lawyer, Michael Avenatti, on Monday against six officers of the Columbus Division of Police. She is alleging her arrest was "politically motivated" amid her ties to President Donald Trump, and that people now care more about her than they did when she was simply using her body for a body fluid depository.

Stormy alleged she had a one-night [consentual] affair with Trump in 2006, and she probably did--so what--we all knew who Trump was when he ran for POTUS and the country elected him over that sow on the left.

She sued him last year seeking to break a non-disclosure agreement she signed days before the 2016 election about the alleged affair as part of a $130,000 hush money settlement. Trump has denied the affair took place--but so what--we all knew who Trump was when he ran for POTUS and the country elected him over that cow on the left.

The 39-year-old porn performer was arrested on July 11 on suspicion of inappropriately touching an undercover female officer. Two other club employees were also arrested.

Chief Kim Jacobs said in a statement hours later that during Daniels' arrest, "one element of the law was missed in error and charges were subsequently dismissed."

Which led Michael Avenatti to get all moist with anticipation for a big payday.

Daniels was booked under a 10-year-old state law known as the Community Defense Act that says dancers at "sexually oriented" businesses are prohibited from touching customers and vice versa.

Calling Stormy a "dancer" is quite a compliment to her and an insult to dancers.

Prosecutors said the law cited for her arrest applies only to those who regularly perform at the club, and the city prosecutor later said the law was “glaringly inequitable” and should no longer be enforced.

But $2 million? She should have spilled hot McDonald's coffee in her crotch and really cashed in, citing permanent damage to her work equipment.

Will 2019 be the year you follow Brain Flushings and have a few laughs while you get a conservative viewpoint? Let's hope so, because politics is the new NFL without the mindless kneeling and this blog will both inform you and hopefully entertain you bigly.

Calif. Left silent on Kamala Harris' aide's #MeToo resignation

Liberals support things that make them believe they're more virtuous than everyone else. [Except when it comes to going after white men and Jews, of course.] In California, the Democrats have supported the #MeToo movement and this was plain to see when they went after Brett Kavanaugh at the SCOTUS confirmation hearing in which he was accused of sexual misconduct. It was not only never proven, but the witnesses called upon by the accuser supported Kavanaugh over the accuser.

But this didn't stop leftists from shouting "Believe all women!" until the same thing happened to Michael Avenatti, the lawyer for the male body fluids receptacle, Stormy Daniels.

Avenatti was accused of felony sexual abuse and he shouted his innocence, but the left didn't shout back "Believe all women!" because Avenatti gets intersectional credit for being against President Trump.

It's a great example of hypocrisy. Both sides use it, but the left has it down to a science.

Now we see the hypocrisy of California Democrats who are notably close-mouthed on the resignation last week of a top aide to Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA)  after news broke he had been sued for "gender harassment."

How does one harass an actual gender?

Prominent Democrats in the state, as well as some newly elected Democratic members of the California Congressional delegation, have also remained mum about #MeToo allegations against several other Democratic hypocrits.

Many of these phonies have even declined to take a stand on a lawsuit against Rep. Tony Cardenas (D-CA), the head of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus PAC who has been accused of drugging and molesting a 16-year-old girl in 2007.

Believe all women, but not all girls? Is that how it goes?

The sound of crickets over the resignation of the Kamala Harris aide and the allegations against Cardenas comes a year after many of the state's political leaders acknowledged a reckoning regarding sexual misconduct in and around Sacramento.

Nearly 200 women signed a letter in 2017 demanding a serious increase in accountability for a culture of rampant sexual harassment in the state's political circles. 

Politicians, however, are mostly unaffected by the policies and laws they make, or at the very least, believe that they are above the law.

The fallout over California's multitude of #MeToo issues has continued and has cost many state lawmakers and politicians, mostly Democrats, their jobs in a state where the party dominates the corridors of power.

It's a "do as I command by law, not as I do" mentality.

Despite the fake reckoning, many Republican political operatives in California claim that Democrats have selective memory when it comes to #MeToo condemnations.

"They say they believe victims but only when there's some political gain for them," one GOP operative correctly observed.

While honest observers point to the ongoing silence on Cardenas, they also see how Roger Hernandez, a former Democratic assemblyman, has also not been held accountable for beating his wife, nor had enough been done to get rid of former state senator Tony Mendoza who resigned after repeated accusations by several women of sexual harassment.

The list goes on, but suffice it to say, Kamala Harris, who is considering a run for president in 2020, is as big a hypocrite as the rest of those who know what's going on and say nothing.

Kind of reminds one of Harvey Weinstein.
