About Avenatti
Without the rise of Avenatti, we would not have encountered Stormy, who led us to Michael Cohen, who led us to David Pecker, who revealed the dark underbelly of Donald Trump using the National Enquirer to silence scandals.

That was the beginning of Trump's downfall in office.

So there's that to be grateful for.

1. I feel bad that he was a jerk in certain aspects and is paying for it now.

I think in others ways he is great.

Probably greed got ahold of him.

6. and Stormy Daniels couldn't have found good representation

in someone who is not a toxic personality .. and a criminal?

I'm afraid my "gratefulness" for Michael Avenatti will always be of the fairly slight variety.

10. Avenatti was an asshole but he served a purpose

There's no question that without his antics, the whole Stormy/Cohen scandal would not have blown up the way it did. He knew how to play Trump's game because he was just like Trump.

Stormy deserved better representation, though.

17. Can we be sure he wasn't targeted by Barr?

How wasn't he targeted? That's how they roll.

22. It isn't Avenatti we loved

He was what we needed at the time. At the time, it's all we knew about him.

For example, very few here like James Comey. but we like what he said against chumpy at certain points in time.

Somehow, some of us - and most rethugs and trolls - claim that it is the same as luuurrrrrving somebody who turns out to be not so good at some later time. That is not what we're doing. We are cheering someone who does a deed or says something that we wholeheartedly agree with at the time. We liberals don't fall head over heels for some guy with a nice turn of phrase (that's what rethugs do and they stick like superglue). We like what they did or like what they said about one certain situation at one certain time.

rethugs are too stupid to understand it so they say stupid things like "I thought liberals blah blah blah..." while we can only gape at the stupidity. Don't be like rethugs. They give no more thought to what they say and hear than parrots do (less, even).

Fox News has been playing clips of the members of the Fake News Media knobslobbering over Avenatti before his lies unraveled.

How ironic. Michael Avenatti is the one who got indicted and was found guilty. He could very well end up in prison for a long time.

For extortion ... who could have foreseen that?
