It's stunning how the networks who put Michael Avenatti on over and over and over and over and depicted him as the Nation's Conscience and even hyped him as a serious presidential contender have all but ignored his prison sentence and multiple other pending felony trials.
And as usual, the standard elite self-exoneration of "we-couldn't-have-known" is utter bullshit. Aside from the fact that the stench of Avenatti's sleazy fraud suffocated anyone within a mile radius, countless people pointed out at the time how exploitative and dishonest he was.

Avenatti is nowhere close to the worst person promoted by CNN and NBC. They have security state ghouls, perjurers and war criminals on their payroll -- Bush and Obama's CIA & DHS chiefs, FBI officials, etc. Still, if you can't recognize what Avenatti is, you can't see anything.
Forgot one: CNN employs the person who was Bush/Cheney's NSA Director on 9/11 (great job with that intelligence machine under your command!) and who then became the Bush/Cheney War on Terror CIA chief, and liberals eat this shit up:
