BREAKING: Co-Conspirator In Alleged Avenatti Fraud Scheme Is CNN Analyst, Jussie Smollett’s Lawyer, Report Says

Michael Avenatti is the lawyer who spent the last year or so trying to smear Trump and Kavenaugh… and now he’s not only discredited, he’d been arrested. And his associate Mark Geragos, lawyer for another guy who tried to smear Trump,is not only in legal hot water bu thas been fired from CNN.

Bonus round: Former CIA head John Brennan, who has spent the last couple of years smearing Trump as a Russian agent, now has this to say:

“Well, I don’t know if I received bad information but I think I suspected there was more than there actually was.”

While it’s nice to see him publicly say that he might have been wrong, it’s entertaining to think that the CIA was run by a guy who would have so readily accepted what has turned out to be a fabulously wrong assumption about the President.

The last several years have been sorta defined by false media/political narratives. Collusion. Smolletting. White privilege. Covington. Hands-Up-Don’t-Shoot. The Wage Gap. Kavenaugh as rapist. “Ghostbusters/The Last Jedi was a good movie.” The patriarchy. Nazis everywhere. The Steele Dossier.  It would be nice to think that, now that media organizations are starting to get hit with fractional-billion-dollar lawsuits and hoaxers are going to jail, that maybe, just maybe, things might change for the better. Maybe the press might actually take their job more seriously, and actually try to get the story factually right. This, I think, is unwarranted excess optimism. But who knows.
