Opinion: Michael Avenatti’s downfall would be a great thing for Democrats
Michael Avenatti in New York in December. By Eoin Higgins March 26 at 9:12 PM Correction: An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated that Stormy Daniels sued Michael Avenatti for misrepresentation. This version has been updated.On Monday, lawyer Michael Avenatti was indicted on charges in New York and Los Angeles of embezzlement, fraud and extortion involving a client, a bank and Nike.
On one level, Avenatti’s strategy was legitimately masterful. He clearly understood that regular media appearances would antagonize Trump and that being attacked by the president would further promote Avenatti’s brand. But Avenatti’s quest to stay in the news showed the limits of this approach, not merely for his presidential hopes, but for his legal practice.
But the lawyer’s latest troubles obfuscate, to some degree, the more difficult question of why he became a household name. Avenatti skillfully exploited the collective liberal horror at a Trump presidency to further his profile. Liberals eagerly — though unwittingly — allowed that to happen.
