FILE - In this July 23, 2019, file photo, California attorney Michael Avenatti walks from a courthouse in New York, after facing charges. A Los Angeles amateur basketball league's founder told jurors Thursday, Feb. 6, 2020, that Avenatti betrayed him when the lawyer threatened to make his complaints against Nike public.
Questions about those topics could create “a trial within a trial,” Avenatti's attorneys wrote, and distract the jury tasked with deciding whether Avenatti used his fame to try to extract up to $25 million from Nike with threats of publicizing misdeeds by Nike executives. “While the extortion and honest services fraud crimes with which he is charged in this case are not insignificant, they do not deliver anything close to the emotional gut-punch of the charges against Mr. Avenatti in the other matters,” the defense attorneys wrote. “Even with a limiting instruction, the jury cannot possibly be expected to dispassionately weigh this evidence.”
Nikes gonna put a foot in his ass
Isn’t it nice to want....
Democrat Presidential candidate.
Why not the president got away with doing that and all his written answers were I don’t recall
Twitter really needs a laughing response like Facebook
So he’s going with the tRump defense of “I don’t give a crap about the law” since it worked so well for the president and the senate approved, it should now apply to all Americans.
Does he get to decide the length of hangman's rope too?
He is a turd
I guess he wants to use the Trump defense. See how far that gets him in a real court.
Good luck 🍀 with that‼️
TBoBrewdog Conditional testimony? No thanks. 🇺🇸🦅⚓️
'Celebrity' lawyer? What the hell, ? The man is a criminal.
Siendo abogado, sabe que también tiene derechos.
What’s he hiding
He can do that by pleading the 5th. What a tool.
See Trump got by with not having to have witnesses now the rich are trying to follow in his shoes no witnesses how many questions they have to answer If Trump got by with breaking the laws so are the rest of the rich but that’s 99% no way will be in jail for their jail for profit
Precedence has been set. You don’t have to testify, call witnessnes or provide documents. He’s innocent. That’s the way the system works now. Get with it!
LOL. This is the best Karma ever!!! Enjoy your 8x8 hotel room...with bars!!!
Wasn’t aware that criminals got options
Well well mr tough guy on tucker show you don’t seem to be so let’s get it on when it’s about you
He's kidding, right?
You don’t get to make the rules Mike
Why is this criminal in the news? He was a star for left biased mainstream media.
Oh gee! Another corrupt libera fascist who thinks he can control the court! Liberals think they are above the law! I guess that only works with lying corrupt fascists!
How TF is he a celebrity lawyer?! get your editors and fix this shit a
Obviously
Please don't call this lawyer a scumbag, he is probably worse than that.
Of course because if you ask enough questions it would become obvious.
SpeakerPelosi should send her dream team house managers to defend him, he is one of her own.
Correction: Liberal (CNN/MSNBC) Celebrity lawyer MichaelAvenatti wants to limit the questions he would face if he decides to testify about allegations he tried to extort Nike for millions of dollars.
Remember when ABC and CNN told us Avenatti was the next POTUS. Good times.
How Trump of him
This is the new standard for how innocent people behave. He learned this from Dirty Donnie
Just tell them you exert your right to executive privledge...I hear that works even when there is none.
Nomen est omen?
If he thought extorting them was in the public interest then it doesn't count. Trump V. Congress Impeachment.
dont sweat it bro..former VP Biden used a Billion dollars to extort the former President of Ukraine and bragged about and he is running for president. Just brag about it.. maybe you can get a job with the DNC
Page out of Donald’s playbook
Innocent people don’t avoid questions! (Is that how this works?) The justice system is perfect and always gets it right. You should be foaming at the mouth to cooperate so hard!!! Enjoy, you pile of garbage in a suit.
If the shoe fits!
How can you do that?
'Celebrity lawyer' lol
As the World turns. Here is a lawyer who knows logic n still got caught up with demise
Does he think he's at a Congressional inquest?
Reminder: Democrats thought this guy was their savior and next presidential election front runner. You have to be braindead to be a democrat
Has he dropped out of the Presidential race yet?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That only works in impeachment.
Doing great MichaelAvenatti! First you took down the POTUS (lost horribly and paid his legal fees while becoming The Porn Lawyer) and then you burned corporate America by sticking it to Nike (facing criminal charges for extortion). Heard you did great in a recent divorce also!
Headline’s enough....
Calm down dork
Wait...no innocent person would do this, right? Innocent people want all of the witnesses and all of the questions. I heard this for weeks
But but but but, He was the darling of cnn , msnbc, and the left. They thought he would make a good democrat candidate to run for president. WAKE UP
That’s not how it works
mikey how is Bubba? Are you sore yet?
The democratic darling!
Of course he does...controlfreak
Why not? It worked for trump
Is he still going to be the next President though?
Hey there’s The guy Scaramucci replaced as CNN puppet
Still trying to control things! Won't work this time.
'Celebrity' needs to be replaced with 'Creepy Porn'.
My oh my what a waste
Personally, I could give a crap less what that pompous ass of a lawyer wants. I would like to see him slowly fried...legally, that is. He is lowest of the low within the legal profession. He is the poster child for every negative view the public holds against lawyers..disbar him.
Why?, Ooo, he wants to enter the Dems race before super Tuesday.
Sorry Michael Avenatti you are now an enemy of the state. And unless you have the lost pictures of the Congressional circle jerk like Trump there will be witnesses
Worthless thief... Hopefully he goes to jail.
So, he's still the odds on favorite for the Dem 2020 nomination for President, right?
Can’t believe a GF beating, porn star lawyer was once considered a leading presidential candidate for Democrats! 😂
Remember when this ambulance chaser was prince of the media? should be ashamed to give turd airtime in any form or fashion.
FYI...he is a lawyer....
CROOK
Gee I’ve never heard of the accused getting to dictate to the prosecutor
Well, it worked for the President... 🙄🙄
Avenatti was only a celebrity 🐍lawyer to the media and gullible people. 😂
This dem media darlring, presidential hopeful seeks liberal priviledge. Fyi, that gig is up
He needs to talk to Schiff and Nadler. They know how to prevent the opposition from talking and then cry when it’s done to them.
He should just tell the judge he doesn't want any witnesses at his trial, like 45.
Witnesses in a trial,Unheard of
To think that many of the news personalities were praising him and saying he would be a great President
He’s calling the shots?
His middle name's not 'Trump' is it?
Wasn’t he the savior of the dem party? 😂😂😂😂
He better hurry if he’s going to run for President.
Just put him in prison so he can start playing golf
why not, we currently have no rule of law!
He should ask Trump how do you get witnesses and evidence not allowed at a trial.
If our garbage leader can dictate civil procedures, anyone else should be able to.
LoL
he's a lawyer, right? So he knows he doesn't get to make this call, right? What a chump. And CNN touted him for a presidential run!!
Clear sign of affluenza when rich people feel like they can dictate the way the law works! Also, clear case of the so-called “justice system”!
A police officer was shot while in uniform in the Bronx. The officer was shot as he sat in a marked police van, which has a bullet hole near one of its windows.
He is so slimy!
I thought cnn wa running him for president against trump.
What does he think this is, an impeachment trial where he can control the narrative?
Wait, celebrity lawyer,? The MSM was calling him “Mr president” just a few months ago. Those of you who still believe the news from these garbage outlets like ABC need your heads examined.
*Former Democratic nominee for president and CNN regular Michael Avenatti
ABC used to love this guy while they hated our president. Now we are laughing at you ABC.
I didn't know that was a thing..to dictate to the prosecutor what may be asked.
The great Avenatti, our lib hero porn star lawyer save the world pos
Thug,thug,thug
Celebrity lawyers, celebrity presidents why not
Oh good lord
The great liberal hero.
'Celebrity lawyer.' 😂😂😂
well, let's say...better than trump
Does MSNBC still support porn star lawyer?
