Showman and ambitious Machiavellian porn lawyer Michael Avenatti has just learned an important lesson. It is easy to sue anyone, even the president of the United States. It is harder to prevail and even harder when, after you lose, the court orders you to pay the fees of opposing attorneys.
Avenatti or his client – adult film star – may have to pay an undetermined amount of money to reimburse President Trump for what it cost the president to defend against their spurious lawsuit.
U.S. District Court Judge S. James Otero reasoned that the president has the same First Amendment right to freedom of speech as his critics. And the judge found that the exercise of that freedom includes the use of “rhetorical hyperbole,” like when the president called Daniels’ allegations a “con job.”
Avenatti is a charismatic critic of the president, more charming than Sen. Elizabeth. Avenatti has been rewarded for his activism with more cable news airtime than North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un and leaders of many other nations.
