MSNBC showing media swarming around Avenatti as he arrives at courthouse

Crazy scene...

Loved the way he showed concern for the people scrambling to walk or run backward ahead of him. He was concerned they could get hurt.

He will be a TV talking head on various cable shows years after Trump and Stormy pass into history.

For once, America's puritanical tittering about *gasp* other people's sex lives has led to what appears to be the downfall of a sitting president, for things we actually SHOULD care about, corruption, money laundering, obstruction of justice, and all manner of dirty business dealing.

LOOK CLOSELY at the person who took an oath to uphold the constitution and protect our country. The person who had the fucking brass balls to call Hillary Clinton "Crooked Hillary" and wanted to "lock her up" for crimes never even brought against her, because none were found, after extensive, exhaustive investigation.

Thank you, Michael Avenatti!

By his own admission, he has tried a number of high-profile cases with well-known clients. He's also faced top-tiered lawyers, most of whom are at the top of their game. One of his earlier comments that stood out was the quality of the Trumpster's legal team--they're just not up to the job. Avenatti said that fact alone was astounding. The Trumpster is sitting in the WH and is a wealthy man. But the Trumpster's legal crew is second rate at best because he's been unable to hire a better team. No lawyer who covets his/her legal reputation is willing to work for the Imposter.

That's telling in itself!
