The judge was pretty excoriating of Avenatti, openly pondering whether Avenatti only thought he’d get away with ripping off his client because she happened to have an “unorthodox career.”

The only sad part is he’ll do more time than Trump will.

Dammit there goes his Presidential run. Well at least until 2028. There’s still hope!

Whether Trump is untouchable or not has nothing to do with Avenatti stealing from his own client. That’s just a dirtbag move.

Avenatti did some decent TV appearances excoriating Trump, it just turned out the reason he was good at it was because he understood Trump innately, being a charismatic lying criminal like Trump is.
Now if only we could get a conviction of Trump to go with this one of Avenatti.

Yeah, there was a brief period I thought maybe slime could effectively counter slime. Looks like more slime just makes things more slimy.

Ah, “You can’t do that on television!” One of the earliest shows I saw on Nickelodeon. Fond memories.

Avenatti may very well have thought that, although his attempt at extorting NIKE, for Pete’s sake, indicates that he probably would have stolen from a client who happened to be a nun.

I had such high hopes of him taking down the last guy and he turns out to be just another common schmuck.

Crime: Just don’t do it.

Strictly speaking it’s that Trump will do less time than Avenatti, but I gather your meaning was thus.
