Predictions:

  1. Assuming the evidence is remotely credible, few if any on the left are going to bother defending Avenatti for his horrible actions.
  2. People on the right are going to make false equivalencies anyway.

That’s a tRumpian defense if I ever heard one. Not good, not good at all.

Never ever is domestic violence acceptable. Ever. We can only hope his 15 min of fame are now officially over.

Weird! He always struck me as such a mellow and good natured fella who’d never do something like fly off the handle and then lie about it!

TMZ is a bad joke, but it’s reported elsewhere. Still unnamed police sources, but it’s a developing story.

In August, Avenatti started The Fight PAC

First rule of the Fight PAC…
