For the lawyer, it makes one a convicted felon. For the 'fucker' it makes one a hero to the alt-right. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Their wives are respectable republican women who earned respect. Not like the ugly, amoral women who have accused Trump of things. (And who run for office as democrats.)

kallend 2,027 #13 March 29, 2019 The NYT has an article explaining why Avenatti (and others like him) get away for years without paying taxes until they draw attention to themselves. The IRS is so underfunded (thanks to Republicans) that they simply can't keep up. Of course, regular employees don't have the same opportunities to cheat as do the self employed and rich investors who have bought and paid for the GOP. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/03/28/opinion/irs-taxes.html?em_pos=small&emc=edit_ty_20190329&nl=opinion-today&nl_art=9&nlid=89442825emc%3Dedit_ty_20190329&ref=headline&te=1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BillyVance 34 #17 April 12, 2019 I keep seeing somebody's post deleted below mine. I'm not trying to intentionally trigger anybody, just speaking my mind, even if it does seem overly harharharinyourface. If they're that triggered, maybe log off and go do something that makes them happy. (shrugs). Remember when Avenatti was supposed to take Trump down, with a porn star? What happened to all that? LOL Good times. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hard to take Trump down when there is a core of morons who are either in denial, or just don't care that he is immoral, unethical and just plain evil.

Phil1111 1,149 #22 June 3, 2022 Avenatti Gets a 4-Year Sentence for Defrauding Stormy Daniels of $300,000 "In Manhattan, he was convicted in 2020 of trying to extort millions of dollars from Nike and is now serving a sentence of two and a half years. A lawyer representing him in that case later filed a notice of appeal, and his lawyers in the Daniels case wrote in court papers that Mr. Avenatti intended to appeal that conviction, too..The judge also ordered that Mr. Avenatti pay $148,750 in restitution and forfeit about $297,000..."
