So you are against smearing people for personal/political gain?
And has Avenatti been found guilty of anything? I recall a lot of high stepping when he was arrested for DV. How did that turn out? I recall some high stepping when Stormy Daniels was arrested. Turns out if was Trump supporting cops who went "undercover" in a strip club and said they were assaulted by her breasts when they approached the stage. I guess the good news for Avenatti is he can obstruct the investigation and so long as he isnt found guilty of the initial crime he wont have to worry about obstruction of justice charges..... right?
