ANOTHER LOOK AT MICHAEL AVENATTI AND HIS MEDIA ENABLERS. Remember Michael Avenatti? He was the lawyer who represented pornographic actress Stormy Daniels in her suit against then-President Donald Trump. But more importantly, Avenatti showed the world how some segments of the media, in particular CNN and MSNBC, could lose their heads in an anti-Trump frenzy. And for that, he should always be remembered.
Now, Avenatti is in the news because his trial has begun on charges that he stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from Daniels. And a look at the specific allegations against him shows the striking contrast between Avenatti’s celebrated television appearances in 2018, when he became a Hero of the Resistance, and what he was actually doing behind the scenes.
