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?

He briefed hundreds of state legislators on the call with Phill Kline of the Amistad Project, Peter Navarro, Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman and Donald Trump, the latter who spoke for about 15 minutes.
Trump ordered it. Other people worked out the details for him. And Trump led the coup through countless of meetings and phone calls starting right after the Nov 3rd election.
12-2-20, Tony Shaffer, who is indefinitely suspended from posting monkey gifs on this platform, joined a press conference in his function as the Amistad Project's lead investigator. About two weeks later, they used forged documents for their "GOP electors."
I noticed first hand how Tony Shaffer was openly harrassing people here on Twitter. He did so with @JimStewartsom, @jennycohn1@visionsurreal and to a lesser extent myself.
@jennycohn1@visionsurreal@TwitterSafety After this happened, I came to learn how closely Shaffer worked for a group that tried to overturn the free and fair 2020 United States presidential election. The group which is The Amistad Project.
I have detailed in my current pinned thread what The Amistad project has done. I'll leave the legal aspect and consequences to the lawyers.
But Shaffer's documented bullying looks like an effort to obstruct investigators to find out more about his role.
