There's more news about Michael Avenatti who first came to prominence as the lawyer for porn actress Stormy Daniels. He was arrested today in LA on charges of felony domestic abuse. The charges were made by a person the media described as a "woman with many visible bruises". As of yet, her name has not been released. As usual, Avenatti says that there is no truth to the allegations.
It's been an amazing few months for Avenatti. He got tons of media coverage with Stormy Daniels and said that he would bring down the President. Then he got involved pushing an obviously dishonest claim against Justice Kavanaugh; his client swore that the Justice had organized gang rape parties when he was a junior in high school. Those allegations disintegrated quickly and the Senate Judiciary committee sent criminal referrals in connection with them. Then much of the law suit brought by Avenatti against Trump was dismissed and the court ordered Daniels to pay Trump's legal fees. That was a disaster for Daniels. Next a court ruled that Avenatti owed a former partner many millions of dollars for fraud. Then his law firm was evicted for non-payment of rent. Now he's been arrested.
The best part of all this is that Avenatti has been talking about running for president as a Democrat and many in the media took him seriously. He never had a chance. Of course, now that he has been accused of domestic violence, he could be just the candidate the Democrats have been seeking. Indeed, if Avenatti gets the nomination, he could pick Keith Ellison as his running mate. Imagine that: two men accused of domestic violence against women on the same ticket. It would be a fitting sequel to Hillary Clinton.
