BREAKING: CNN’s favorite lawyer found GUILTY of stealing money from Stormy Daniels

CNN’s favorite dirty lawyer has just been found guilty of stealing money from Stormy Daniels over her Trump book:

Here’s more from the AP:

Michael Avenatti was convicted Friday of charges he cheated the porn actor Stormy Daniels out of nearly $300,000 she was supposed to get for writing a book about an alleged tryst with former president Donald Trump.

Avenatti stared straight ahead as the verdict was read. It was another crushing defeat for the California lawyer, who has faced a host of legal problems after briefly rising to fame as one of Trump’s leading antagonists on cable news early in the Republican’s administration.

Avenatti dumped his lawyers and decided to represent himself shortly after the trial began, setting up a face-to-face showdown with Daniels, his former client, who appeared in a new role as star witness.

Prosecutors portrayed Avenatti as a common thief and serial liar. He countered by seeking to cast himself as a white knight who came to the rescue of Daniels until he turned on her.

The guilty convictions are adding up for Avenatti and there’s still more to come:

Avenatti still faces other legal problems.

He has yet to begin serving a 2 1/2 year prison sentence he received in 2020 for trying to extort up to $25 million from sportswear giant Nike.

He also is awaiting a retrial in Los Angeles on charges that he ripped off clients and others for millions of dollars. He represented himself last year for six weeks before a mistrial resulted.

I hope he spends a long time in jail for all of these convictions. He deserves every bit of it for being one of the scummiest people on the planet.
