1) Avenatti tried to falsify witness corroboration
2) When caught, he obstructed NBC from vetting his claims
3) As a result, NBC couldn’t find the “witness” he hid from them until too late
4) Thus, they couldn’t run her story

6) With Grassley launching a criminal referral, the story is newsworthy again
2/
8) Now, the right is angry at.... the media. They are seizing on all of the above to blame the media for Avenatti’s crap.

Thank you, Michael Avenatti. You just managed to harm sexual assault survivors everywhere while also adding fuel to the “Fake News” fire.
You’re a despicable, classless, narcissistic jerkoff.
Go away.

A reporter diligently vetted a story. Now she is getting absolutely crushed as if she is somehow corrupt.
