Michael Avenatti, who was convicted of trying to extort over $20M from Nike, was temporarily released from a federal jail due to concerns over the coronavirus, authorities say.

The former lawyer for porn star Stormy Daniels was found guilty in February of trying to extort Nike. According to court papers, Avenatti and an uncharged conspirator threatened to hold a press conference to ruin the sportswear giant's reputation unless the companyIn a recorded call obtained by the FBI, Avenatti was heard pressuring the company to pay the money. Prosecutors said that he wanted Nike to pay his client $1.

He pleaded not guilty, and his lawyer said Avenatti was simply pursuing an honest negotiation with the brand on behalf of his client. Avenatti also faces legal troubles in California for allegedly defrauding clients and absconding with payments to them that he was able to obtain.

This was a republican stunt orchestrated by Trump, I will never buy Nike and all of you idiots who do, save your money.

What about the thousand of non white prisoners who have smoked pot or stolen less than 20m$? BlackLivesMatter

I sure hope he was required to surrender his passport.

Tomorrow’s top guest on Meat The Press!

That’s such bullshit

Cool, might as well run for office at this point. Either party

NoFascistLies Cuomo said “no”.

Attention resistance! He’s free! The heroic Michael Avenatti is back to save our Republic! P.S. If you fell for the story of this conman douchebag maybe you realize now that the corporate media is, in fact, controlling the narrative and manipulating your thoughts and feelings.

Just in time to accept the Democrat nomination for President.

He’s in jail? How did I miss this?

BeautyBind He running for president now lol

_pcantagonista When this is over, how many of these assholes will they lock back up?

Let the wimp rot

That is outrageous! What makes him so special?

I am assuming he will flee to Ecuador.

Lolz. This dude is still alive.. Cant blv he was as crooked as realDonaldTrump, yet he was his nemesis.. Birds of a feather..

It was just a matter of time.

What about everyone else in jail? Why just him?

Ridiculous. This is one arrogant deceptive conniving lawyer who belongs in prison!

What? There wasn't enough of it in there? 🤔

This is Bullshit. Put him back in! He is a horrible person.

beyondreasdoubt

Srsly?

Wow

he will run! just wATCH

Maybe the media can try to jump start his Presidential campaign again 🤷‍♂️

But not Michael Cohen? Hmm.

We are locked in from our own families and this scum is released to WHERE realDonaldTrump This is total and unacceptable BullSCHITT!!!

How much money did the judge get?

Well ain't that special

One of the odd cul de sacs of the Trump “error.”

The rich elitist never faced justice

Popehat He's just going to try to extort money from the Lyft driver who drives him home from the jail.

Popehat Please get this man a cell phone.

Popehat

Popehat He must be a good lawyer then, right?

Popehat Get him on the POD!

redsteeze

Popehat I don’t have an issue with this. it is not like he is a violent offender

Why release him? wouldn't a soulless, heartless, unscrupulous, scourge would show him professional courtesy.

Isn't that the guy that the left wanted to run for president?

Cue the Twitter Attorney's Division....

Avenatti can now lock himself in his basement.

Probably ought to watch for other viruses...

If I was him I would run.. Because he has Trump vindictiveness going for him!

Does this mean he can run for President?

What about Michael Cohen

Of course he was..... Caucasian white collar crime. How.many young black men are being released for the crime of being seduced by the white organized influx of drugs and the sales there of? Empty the prisons without a plan.of halfway housing and or shelter equals more homeless.

On the road again! He will be gone

sick

For every white guy released from jail, let’s spring 1,000 black men. Then maybe we’ll have some equality.

Will he now run for President?

Great !

Biden....prove your innocence...sexual accusation

PaulDoroshenko

This is f**king bullshit. The guy is a criminal. He belongs in jail. Can you imagine the backlash if “authorities” let Paul Manafort or Michael Cohen out of prison for a ridiculous reason like this?

Unreal. I say stick him in a cell with Weinstein.

Oh fuck that

Yet they’re arresting people for throwing a ball in a park ... or paddle boarding in the ocean! 🥺

The average congressman is twice the criminal MichaelAvenatti is accused of being. Same with MichaelCohen212 . The wrong men are in prison.
