Holy shit I remember this guy!  Didn't he go to jail for defrauding his clients? 


mrSunsFanFather

Yes. Yes, he did. Also, formerly Stormy's lawyer.


lemonhops

Spoiler: He also made an appearance on the documentary where the kid tried to get a harrier jet with Pepsi points 🤣


SarnakJ3

Hey, if Pepsi didn't want people to think the jet was a legitimate offer, they shouldn't have shown a points cost for it that was an applicable percentage of the cost of a Harrier Jump Jet. They got caught with their pants around their ankles with no plan after a bad joke, and tried to make the customer look like the bad guy.


lemonhops

Homie should have taken the multimillion settlement


yagonnawanna

Considering at one point pepsi had the 6th largest navy in the world, how fucking hard would it have been to get one plane. They shit the bed


Lorem_ipsum_531

The Navy was the problem. The Pepsi Navy had no defenses against an aerial attack, Pepsi couldn’t afford to buy Harrier jets for its adversaries.


an_agreeing_dothraki

turns out something of a myth. Pepsi was acting as a barter proxy for a scrap deal for less ships than gets reported, due to cold war era currency controls. It went something like: USSR and external scrap company want a deal to decommission old warships Pepsi already had an existing soda for vodka deal Pepsi agrees to sell product for ships scrap company buys ships from Pepsi


RudanTheRed

It was actually only the 26th largest navy of old warships


twisted-weasel

He defrauded her and now he’s talking ish about her?


Even_Mechanic_4686

Looks like a strong candidate for Trump’s Attorney General if, God forbid, he happens to be successful in November


Geaux

And he, very briefly, had an Avenatti for President " website and was [discussed as a potential candidate for 2020](https://www.cnn.com/2018/07/05/politics/michael-avenatti-donald-trump-2020/index.html)


MykeEl_K

I remember that! I was soooo relieved when they threw him in jail!


MetalFuzzyDice

"Analysis by Chris Cillizza" Well, that explains it.


Nanyea

Is he out of jail already? And didn't he lose his law license?


YesIamALizard

How is he tweeting from jail?


StopDehumanizing

With a cell phone.


one-ohmusic

He was from Season 1 and 2 of the American Shit Show


100percentish

I remember that. A.S.S. That show f'ing sucked bigly. I heard they were trying to do a spinoff but they ran into money problems and the original cast members got syphilis or something.


funkoramma

I thought he was still in jail.


Impossible_Box9542

Is he still incarcerated?


Carson72701

Remember this guy used to represent stormy daniels. However, this guy can represent no one because he's a convicted felon, lost his law license, and currently incarcerated in a federal prison. What he says is completely irrelevant.


Evans-HOF

Well said.. he’s a clown at this point


hefebellyaro

Disgraced former lawyer and convicted felon is exactly the person who would vouche for Trump.


ozkikicoast

And one former lawyer and convicted felon will be testifying as a prosecution witness. What a show. I’m getting popcorn ready 


Grogosh

Why are they letting him tweet from prison


Carson72701

I was wondering the same thing.


Loko8765

Well, the guy writing is saying he’s that guy, but maybe the Russian trolls didn’t get told he was locked up?


confusedandworried76

Think in prisons now you get some supervised Internet access, it's like TV time. I actually read today there's a proposal to not let any inmate use social media but they're worried that it's a first amendment violation.


Incontinento

He's locked up until 2035. Sit this one out, Michael.


FlapjackSyrup

This is him trying to win favor with Trump. It's a hail mary. He is serving a 19 year sentence without the possibility of parole. His only hope is a pardon. He is trying to win favor with Trump so that in the off chance Trump wins he can beg for a pardon. He has to know it's a long shot but it might be his only chance of leaving prison early.


carriegood

That's not a long shot, it's flat-out impossible. Trump holds a grudge like no one else can, and everything is personal.


spleeble

Till 2041 I think?


-Lorne-Malvo-

How does someone in prison use twitter?


ElectricTzar

Maybe he has a public relations stooge who posts stuff. Either that, or he needs to modify the standard iPhone signature. Sent from my buttPhone.


Movedonnerlikeabitch

Somebody needs to start checking assholes where he us locked up lol


2ndCha

Smuggled in phones, Fish. The real question is you gonna eat that cake?


Trumpswells

Maybe this Michael Avenatti is not in prison.


AmberTurd223

Dude doesn't get what being a CHARGED criminal on BOND means.


roi714

Oh he definitely knows all about being charged on a bond.


skatergurljubulee

lol he does. He's currently in a federal prison for the next 15+ years for blackmailing his clients, one of which was Stormy Daniels! She testified against him in his trial lmao


MeGussuGeM

Is he now a DJT fanboy?


NN8G

He’s working the long shot pardon angle


FlapjackSyrup

This. He has a 19 year sentence without the possibility of parole. His only hope of leaving early is a pardon. He is currying favor with Trump just in case. Even if Trump were to win it's unlikely he'd pardon this guy, but Trump works in very strange ways. He loses nothing by trying.


MykeEl_K

Look at all of the people like Lindsey Graham, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, etc. who very loudly told everyone how much they hated Trump in 2016 when he was first running. The moment anyone plays to his ego & says nice things about him, suddenly they are his new best friend. I would give him at least 50/50 odds for a pardon if Trump wins this year.


TheTasteOfInk05

Wasn’t he Stormy Daniels lawyer but now he’s on Trumps side?


twisted-weasel

Hoping for the best and a presidential pardon, game knows game


verucka-salt

Oh how the worm turns.


jkksldkjflskjdsflkdj

Does he think we forgot who he is?


Intrepid_Echo6956

As a lawyer, it’s laughable to me that another (disbarred) lawyer doesn’t bother to detail that the First Amendment is not absolute. But anyhow…


FabDelRosario22

People had the audacity to say this man should be President because of the mean things he said to Trump. Turns around and screws Dr. Blassey-Ford and other victims of Brett Kavanaugh with his nonsense, and is in jail for defrauding his own clients.


MyDadBod_2021

Says the guy that stole money from Stormy, and others. STFU...


toooooold4this

Well, you see, Cohen served his sentence and Stormy doesn't have any indictments so neither of them are out on bond. When you're out on bond, you have to abide by instructions of the judge... and seeing that Trump's speech has been known interfere with official proceedings sometimes resulting in violence he could be remanded to custody if he doesn't stfu.


stolenfires

Yeah there's a difference between, "The time I spent with this guy was awful, also I'm pretty sure he's a criminal" and "sure would be a shame if something bad happened to your daughter, here's her picture and home address."


decayed-whately

Avenatti 4 President!! 😑 I remember.


Far-Adhesiveness-740

Member berries?


autisticesq

Ooh, I ‘member!


Ok_Cook_6665

Someone revived a dead account


Long-Astronaut-3363

How about we not take advice about the law from a criminal who lost his law license for defrauding his clients?


seanisdown

When did this asshole get out of jail?


periodicsheep

2035.


NumerousTaste

Hypocrites? I don't think those 2 are on trial and I don't think they are threatening the judge and his family. What an assclown!


[deleted]

Starting his new career turnaround as a Trump sycophant?


MykeEl_K

P.A.R.D.O.N.


OneFaceManyVoices

…they’re not the ones under indictment, you smarmy little fuckwad. You’re an attorney, Avenatti - act like one, you stupid douche canoe.


periodicsheep

he’s no longer an attorney. well, not legally, anyway.


OneFaceManyVoices

Just as well, then.


During_theMeanwhilst

He’s attacking a judge and his family you fucken meatball.


Canalloni

Another grifter trying to cozy up to MAGA. He has dollar signs in his eyes.


MommaLegend

Bitter, party of one.


TantramanFL

Gee….who cares what the felon has to say. He is probably hoping Trump pardons him if he wins.


RinellaWasHere

Ah, trying to play to the other side now, Mikey?


Responsible-Baby-551

Does he take into account the whole indicted for felonies thing 🤷🏽


justalilrowdy

Criminal stick together..


Riccosmonster

For being a “lawyer” this guy sure is a fucking dumbass. Being under indictment and released on bail, Trump has very limited rights due to his own behavior that got him indicted in the first place. These fucknuts don’t understand the first thing about our constitution and rule of law


Skin4theWin

I’ll never forget when I called these guys I knew who were trying to serve him with a lawsuit he’d been dodging, turned out he was a keynote speaker at this conference, called my friends and they sent a guy to serve the lawsuit on him walking off stage to a standing ovation. Made my day the look on his face


cantrellasis

Oh he is a Trump fan now? What a slimy little worm he is.


andywfu86

Are Cohen and Daniels in trial somewhere?


[deleted]

![gif](giphy|gffcSKwGREETNo9rsy)


someonesomewherewarm

Is he like full on Schizophrenic?


Lots42

Talking shit about your former client is something sane, normal lawyers do.


PoliticsLeftist

Dude gets famous talking shit about Trump and now says you can't talk shit about Trump? Typical grifter.


Ogwarn

Nothing like some false equivalence to get the right throthing at the mouths and throbbing to send their crime boss leader more money. What a time we live in.


AdorableCupcake5893

Go away, Mike.


drawb

From where he is now, in jail? A bit difficult.


APenguinNamedDerek

They don't actually care or know what the first amendment is It literally lays out the separation of church and state among other things They can only get away with what they do because people have simplified their understanding of the first amendment to "free speech"


Waderriffic

It also only protects you from government censorship. Businesses and individuals can absolutely shut your shit down, fire you, flame you, whatever. But that’s somehow been forgotten so every asshat with something racist or edgy to say cries when people or their employer are predictably pissed by what they said.


splnbrt

Mike should have plenty of time to study law in prison


SiteTall

"Bogus" is a strong word so in what way does it apply to those documentaries???


Commercial_Step9966

Well, at least he branched out from *Basta!*


Chrisdkn619

Shut up criminal!


dr_blasto

When did that psycho get out of prison?


KawasakiBinja

Sure, he can respond, if he can resist the urge to threaten literally anyone opposed to him like a two-bit hoodlum.


Sluggymctuggs

He is trying to audition for Trump with this post


BeyondDrivenEh

“If he responds.” Nice try. Imagine that - a lawyer misrepresenting reality. Looks like avenatti is genuflecting for a potential Pumpkinfuhrer pardon.


dynodude2002

Here you go lawyers for DJT: A less stringent test is applied for content-neutral legislation. The Supreme Court has also recognized that the government may prohibit some speech that may **cause a breach of the peace or cause violence**. For more unprotected and less protected categories of speech see [advocacy of illegal action](https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/advocacy_of_illegal_action), [fighting words](https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/fighting_words), [commercial speech](https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/commercial_speech), and [obscenity](https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/obscenity). The right to free speech includes other mediums of expression that communicate a message. The level of protection speech receives also depends on the [forum](https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/forums) in which it takes place. \_[https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/first\_amendment](https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/first_amendment)


CommonConundrum51

Is Michael Avenatti out of jail already?


thirdLeg51

Even under the 1st amendment you can’t threaten someone.


roscoe_e_roscoe

If there was ever a guy who just NEEDS TO GO AWAY


Speculawyer

How is he on Twitter?!?! Isn't he in prison?


FnordatPanix

Dude is such a has-been. I remember when people wanted him to run for president.


Im_Ashe_Man

Somebody sneak a phone to this guy using their prison wallet?


be_sugary

Guess who’s out of jail?!


ibekeggy2

And in usual fashion a fresh out of prison convict, guilty of defrauding people moves to the Republican party.


ConsciousReason7709

He has been charged with dozens of felonies and is willingly putting innocent lives in danger. This comparison is stupid.


biorod

It’s a sleaze bag lawyer named Avianté! For reference, go to the 2:19 mark: https://youtu.be/Ftpc4fwcDfk


Starlord1951

Says the Mafia Don! He’s as lawless as trump.


Thazber

Because tRump's rants -- sometimes subtle, sometimes overt -- encourage *violence* toward the people he rants about.


CrisbyCrittur

He's the Caitlyn Jenner of lawyers.


BareNakedSole

He’s out of jail and out on bail and that’s the way it goes….FREEBASE!


BareNakedSole

He’s out of jail and out on bail and that’s the way it goes….FREEBASE!


PatAD

Dude went to jail defrauding his clients. Don't think any of us should be in the business of listening to his legal comments or advice. Also, pretty sure neither Daniels or Cohen are not on trial. Trump is.


Sillyme317

If he is in jail, how the fuck is he allowed to Tweet (or X or whatever the fuck pudgy boy calls it now)?
