American Lawyer for Justice Michael Avenatti just umm... got indicted for attempting to extort Nike. The guy who actually considered himself Presidential nominee material (to push a book deal?), was... err... just role the tape:

article said:
The Manhattan US Attorney's office said Monday that it is charging attorney Michael Avenatti "for attempting to extract more than $20 million in payments from a publicly traded company by threatening to use his ability to garner publicity to inflict substantial financial and reputational harm on the company if his demands were not met."

Seems Stormy Daniels knows how to pick lovers and lawyers.
 
I'm not surprised by this at all. Elizabeth Cronise McLaughlin called this last summer or fall. She said she'd be surprised if he were not in prison in a year's time.

I'm just happy that at least one egotistical white man is now removed from US politics. He had made noises about running for President.

I give him credit, though, for two things: standing up for women in sex work so boldly and effectively with Stormy Daniels and for his comments to the press regarding R Kelly and his enablers. That was badass. I'd be terrified if I were in R Kelly's inner circle.

I mean, that male ego bent on dominance thing can be useful at times. It just doesn't need to run the world.
 
Hey, remember when people were talking about this guy as a potential Dem candidate for President? That was weird.

American Politics is on the verge of calamity, so such things are expected now. We are just a few days away from 'trending on Twitter' leading to questions of how electable they are for the Presidency.

Avenatti and Oprah are examples of how desperate some are on the left-wing are to beat Trump in 2020 that it is driving them clinically insane.

I really am looking forward to seeing President Olivia Jade. It would be a nice consolation prize for her now that Sephora's dropped her contract.

Well, with Captain of the USC crew team, perfect SAT scores, and President of Yale on her resume she seems pretty qualified.

This guy is just as much of an opportunists as President Trump is. He just doesn't have what it takes to stand out in a crowd. He needs people like Stormy Danial's and the women he had that accused Justice justice kavanaugh. When I look at him I see a This guy is just as much of an opportunists as President Trump is.

I think it was her time as an astronaut which impressed me most, mainly because I’m a Matt Damon fan and she pulled him out of some pretty tight spots.

This is why I am now always drunk. This crap is not idiomatic to the US. But monkey see, monkey-fucking-do.
 
Trump said last week he wants revenge. Both the prosecutors are Bonespurs appointees. The charges are questionable.

I'm getting the popcorn.

I thought I read the investigation goes back a couple years.

Seconded. It could be real, or this could simply be the normal sort of negotiations you see when attorneys try to settle matters without a lawsuit.

There was no lawsuit. He obtained embarrassing info which would be bad publicity for Nike and tried to extort money from them

That's what they said - it's Trump's fault.
