Disgraced lawyer Michael Avenatti, onetime opponent of Donald Trump, sentenced to 14 years in fraud case

[Scott]

Disgraced lawyer Michael Avenatti was sentenced on Monday to 14 years in federal prison for defrauding his clients and for obstructing IRS efforts to collect payroll taxes from his coffee business.

He was also ordered to pay $7 million in restitution.

The sentence will run consecutively with his combined five-year sentence in New York for stealing from Stormy Daniels and for extorting Nike.

Onetime opponent of Trump, and once a "serious contender" to be President - quite the fall!

 

 doubt i'm alone in remembering this folly?

 

"In 2018, Avenatti made countless television appearances where he bashed then-President Donald Trump, who had an affair with Daniels. As a result of his TV hits, Avenatti became something of a liberal folk hero, and was even considered a viable 2020 presidential candidate by some. One of those appearances came on CNN’s Reliable Sources with Brian Stelter, who told Avenatti that he was “taking him seriously” as a presidential contender"

Trump would spend the whole time whining about his "bigliest fall ever!  The greatest fall of all time!  Every knows I should have risen, but they stole that from me. They should abolish gravity to put it right."

Trump can't complain justice is not even-handed, but he probably will anyway. Being the victim is part of his playbook.
