Donald Trump Jr. said he was somewhat surprised to see celebrity attorney Michael Avenatti endorse Joe Biden’s White House run given that Bernie Sanders wants to give prisoners the right to vote. (Law&Crime)
Part of me isn’t surprised to see Creepy Porn Lawyer endorse Creepy Uncle Joe for President.
I kind of assumed he would be supporting @BernieSanders, since Bernie wants to give incarcerated criminals the right to vote…Unless maybe @JoeBiden secretly supports that too??? ???????? https://t.co/0ykCnaJjBH

“I kind of assumed he would be supporting @BernieSanders, since Bernie wants to give incarcerated criminals the right to vote…Unless maybe @JoeBiden secretly supports that too???” he said, referring simultaneously to Avenatti’s well-documented legal problems and the Bernie Sanders‘ recent statement that even convicts like the Boston Bomber should not lose their right to vote while incarcerated.
The Don Jr. and Avenatti feud is a long running one. Avenatti wrongly predicted that Trump Jr. would be indicted by the end of 2018 for lying under oath.
“Donald Trump Jr. will be indicted before his birthday on 12-31-18. If you doubt my prediction, please check my record over the last 7 months. #Winning” he said on Twitter last October. Trump Jr. would say during an interview with ABC News that he wasn’t worried.
“I’m not [worried] because I know what I did and I’m not worried about it,” he said. In the end, Trump Jr. was not indicted by Special Counsel Robert Mueller for a campaign finance violation related to the infamous 2016 Trump Tower meeting. But according to Bloomberg, there’s been no public indication that Mueller’s team interviewed Trump Jr., and legal experts said that it’s common for prosecutors to avoid questioning potential targets for indictments.
Avenatti faces life in prison for, among other things, stealing a paraplegic client’s multi-million dollar settlement.
