The country will suffer if justice is denied.

[sandramichaud]

Despite what he says, 14 years incarcerated is a long time. He could have done so much better with his life.

[dapper-ol]

This is BS. Are you aware this man is jail for steeling money from his clients. This is pure BS

[calvinlawrence]

1. Did Trump sleep with Daniels 2. Did Trump have her paid off 3. Did Trumps Lawyer go to jail for the payoff 4. Did Trump approve the funds to pay M. Cohen back for the payoff 5. If Trump was truly innocent, why isn't he running to court instead of delay, delay, delay?

(Eyeroll) If you don't think that you'll get a fair trial in NY then don't go committing crimes in NY.

[TooBadThatDidntKillMe]

I can see the logic. A grifter would know how a grifter works.

[tylercampbell]

Stop asking criminal lawyers their opinion

[roxannswehla]

Is everyone as sick of all these liars as I am.

[nena]

Oh geez, is Avenatti hoping for a Trump pardon?🙄

[karenm]

No cogent answer has ever been given as to why Trump wasn’t indicted in 2018? I’ve got two words for you: Bill Barr.

[t.d]

If he’s saying Michael Cohen can’t be trusted, why should we believe this dude, another lawyer, who got even more time for his crimes? And he didn’t dump Ms. Daniel’s, she dumped him.

[melissabattles]

Says a man sitting in jail " NO CRIMINAL DEFENDENT GETS A FAIR TRIAL!" 😂

[Dglittergirl]

I really liked Avenatti at one point, but who really gives crap what he has to say now. He’s saying that only to push against Stormy Daniels! He’s total 💩and you gave him another platform! 👎🏻

[caspianblue]

It would be nice to see people who have 80+ criminal indictments to be convicted as swiftly as Avenatti was!
Our Justice system is definitely tiered.

[jaynelim]

He’s serving 19 years without the possibility of parole! He will say anything to anyone who will listen in order to get out.

[therarestphoenix]

What was the point of giving this convicted traitor airtime? It's an insult to the American people...

[onlyme]

A convict saying you can't trust what an ex-convict says is an oxymoron

[simonspeak]

Avenatti is not “central to the trial”. He’s barely on the fringes.

[TREON.is.Bathit.Crazy.U.S.G]

Trump can kick and scream all he wants, but he’s shootings blanks. The dignity of a nation relies on holding Trump accountable. For everything.

[laurah]

Didn't Avanati steal from his own client? He came across as very bitter to Ms Daniel's who was his client!
