Federal agents arrested Michael Avenatti on Tuesday evening or violating the terms of his release:
The arrest occurred outside the disciplinary hearing in which the State Bar of California has accused the hard-charging, tough-talking attorney of using a doctored document to scam a client out of nearly $840,000, funneling money from a lawsuit settlement fund to his own personal use.

General Michael Flynn is now accusing federal prosecutors of acting in “bad faith” during the Russia probe and is moving to withdraw his guilty plea. This is unfolding as he faces a term of six months in prison.

I'm so old, I remember when it wasn't controversial to shake hands with a sitting president. But in the era of Idiocracy, being friendly with someone the media abhors renders you a vulnerable target and this is the Vince Vaughn edition. Vaughn, actor and funny man, is a well known libertarian, which is definitely not Republican. Not that it matters nor should it matter. During Monday's College Football Championship Game, Vaughn shook hands and briefly chatted with Trump. And now people of the internet are angry.

Just two days before the final Iowa debate, CNN ran a story -- obviously leaked by the Elizabeth Warren campaign and based on second- and third- hand sourcing -- claiming that in a private meeting in 2018, Bernie Sanders told her a woman couldn't win the presidency. That claim is frequently made by liberals lamenting how Hillary Clinton lost and the uphill fight women face on a national political stage. But coming in the ultra-woke Democratic primary, it was an incendiary accusation against Bernie.
