One thing at play, and this is a big-picture societal thing, and a possibly horrendous problem for us, could be that Avenatti realizes that the court-of-public-opinion is now the real court, and the established legal courts are being rapidly eroded under Trump and pliant Republicans.

That is, Avenatti knows that Trump can play the pardon-card, then Pence can play the pardon-card for Trump, etc., and a Republican controlled Congress will do nothing about it.

That’s basically my point also - Avenatti might be trying to involve the media for selfish purposes, but he might also be unfortunately prescient in seeing that the court of public opinion is the only one that might have any effect.

The US government and other major institutions have demonstrated that they are completely vulnerable to the corrosive power of the cult. I’m not totally sure that the legal system won’t similarly be vulnerable.

The US mass media might be initially predisposed to move against this regime out of its desire for headlines, and because it keeps Trump as the centre of the story. But once Democrats retake the House and have governmental power, I think attacking Democrats will become the norm again.
