Feds Arrested Michael Avenatti Outside Of His Disciplinary Hearing With California State Bar Court
Remember when this guy was the left’s favorite celebrity and absolutely certain that he’d be seeing Trump in an orange jumpsuit? This is NOT the future he was predicting.
Donald J Trump is still in the White House. He’s packing out stadiums of fans who want to hear him speak. Even the impeachment trap the Dems have set up for him has already pretty much fizzled.
It turns out, he’s been a damned good President.
Creepy Porn Lawyer, on the other hand, isn’t spending time in the Green rooms at CNN or MSNBC anymore. Not since he’s been disgraced by having charges laid upon him in several different districts.
Oh, how the ‘mighty’ have fallen.
No more ribbon-cuttings or keys to the city for Avenatti.
He can plead all he wants about being set up, but it isn’t as though there’s just one complaint about him based on a misunderstanding. There are several, and they look really, REALLY bad.
Avenatti was taken into custody at around 6 p.m. PST. When the court resumed, his lead counsel in the disciplinary case, Thomas Warren, told the court that in connection with a criminal matter in Santa Ana, Avenatti was unable to return to court.
Thom Mrozek, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office in Los Angeles, confirmed to The Daily Beat that Avenatti was arrested on allegations of violating the terms of his pre-trial release. Mrozek declined to go into details, as the documents in the case are under seal. “I do expect him to appear in federal court in Santa Ana tomorrow,” he said.
As Avenatti was being led out of the courthouse, the normally garrulous lawyer said simply, “Completely innocent.”
Best known for his public feud with President Trump, Avenatti has criminal matters pending on both coasts. He faces a slew of federal charges in Los Angeles and New York in cases involving alleged extortion, theft of millions of dollars from clients, cheating on taxes and lying to investigators.

He was the favorite ‘celebrity’ that so many wanted to meet at that ‘comedy’ act when Wolfe crapped all over Sarah Sanders.
We can expect the #basta hashtag will trend again, if for no other reason than to mock his fleeting fame and ultimate sad collapse as an example of how NOT to live life.
