They try to tell you the wheels of justice move slow and all the i's need to be dotted and all the t's need to be crossed for any meaningful action to happen.
Guess what? Not if you are a Trump critic.
Make no mistake: Michael Avenatti is a criminal who was rightfully arrested, charged and convicted.
But let's see if his case moved as slow as compared to Trump and his allies.
3-25-2019, Avenatti was arrested in NYC, and federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York announced that they were charging Avenatti with attempting to extort up to $25 million from Nike by threatening to make damaging charges against the company.
The arrest came about 15 minutes after Avenatti announced that he would be holding a press conference the next day, at which he claimed he would reveal information about a high school and college basketball scandal involving Nike. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_A…
On February 14, 2020, Avenatti was found guilty on all three counts related to the attempted extortion of Nike. He faced potentially more than 40 years in prison.
On July 8, 2021, Judge Paul G. Gardephe sentenced him to 30 months in prison.
So tell me: when it comes to Trump and his allies, why is justice always moving at its slowest pace possible?

🧵Thread (1) As I said before, Jack Smith omits most conduct of state legislators and members of Congress in his recent 165 page filing in his case against Donald Trump.
We only see them mentioned in passing on page 64.
🧵Thread (2) On January 2, 2021, Donald Trump (the defendant) informed Mike Pence that "he had spent the day speaking to a secretary of state, state legislators and members of Congress."
You're thinking: WTF was that about?
I'm saying, I told my followers the details years ago.
🧵Thread (3) Indeed, On January 2, 2021, Trump spoke with hundreds of state legislators and GOP members of Congress on Zoom.
These calls included unindicted co-conspirators. And the intention was to pressure Pence and get these people to go along with the plan for the coup.
📢 In her proffer, Jenna Ellis said at a White House Christmas Party, Dan Scavino told her Trump would stay in power no matter what.
I may have done more research on all of these White House Christmas parties/tours than even all my Mar-a-Lago threads combined.
🧵 Thread.
I never got to writing a thread about this before.
But the White House was overrun by insurrectionists and other Trump loyalists. A famous example is Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio with Latinos for Trump and MAGA Drag the Insterstate.
