This is amazing. A tsunami of good news!



That's what I've been hoping for; that Donald Trump channels his inner Michael Corleone and starts going medieval on the asses of EVERYONE involved in this attempt to remove him from office.

Avenatti made the initial threats to Nike on March 19. Shortly afterward, Nike informed federal prosecutors in New York of the threats.

After that, interactions between Avenatti and Nike were recorded and monitored by the FBI, US Attorney Geoffrey Berman said.

“By engaging in the conduct alleged in the complaint, Avenatti was not acting as an attorney. A suit and tie doesn’t mask the fact that at its core, this was an old-fashioned shakedown," Berman said.

From the FBI complaint doc:

Attorney -1 and Attorney -2 represent Nike

CC -1 unnamed coconspirator
