Avenatti

People often use the phrase Trump derangement syndrome and yesterday a case was settled that exemplifies this illness. Michael Avenatti the lawyer that defended film star Stormy Daniels in her lawsuit against Trump was convicted and sentenced to two years. Avenatti came into prominence through his appearances on cable TV where he was praised to the point of idolizing. He was on CNN 122 times and MSNBC 108 times amid effusive adulation even to the point that some suggested he should run for president against Trump. His fame spread far and wide when he introduced a written declaration accusing Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of spiking drinks at parties that allowed girls to be gang raped. All of this news was so welcomed by these networks that they failed to check the background on Avenatti and left them in a mess when he was exposed. After all the dust settled these networks just let the whole episode fade into the past.
