The Trump haters favorite lawyer, Michael Avenatti, is even a bigger skell than his most severe critics could have imagined.
A California rand jury indicted him yesterday for crimes committed on the West Coast ... how did he even find the time for that when he was a daily guest of CNN running for President??

Avenatti ripping off a paraplegic, for goodness sakes!
Quote:
Celebrity lawyer Michael Avenatti, who is already accused of federal financial crimes, has been indicted on 36 counts of embezzlement and fraud by a California federal grand jury, U.S. prosecutors announced Thursday.
If Avenatti is found guilty of all charges in the new indictment, he could be sentenced to a maximum of 335 years in prison.
The lawyer had a rapid rise to fame, most prominently representing Stormy Daniels in the adult film actress's case against President Trump. He was a regular guest on cable news programs and even floated a Democratic presidential campaign, during which he told crowds: "I say, 'When they go low, we hit harder.' "
Now prosecutors allege that Avenatti stole millions of dollars from his clients.
Those clients include "Client 1," a man who is paraplegic and who won a $4 million settlement from Los Angeles County. Prosecutors allege Avenatti drained money from the man's trust account and used the money to finance a coffee business and pay other expenses.

Maybe with good behavior Avenatti could get released in 2319 and resume his budding political aspirations.
