An attorney who was able to trade barbs with the president, put needed pressure on the president, but who was not able himself to withstand the scrutiny gained by that attention. That is likely why your posts have received scant reply and why Avenatti was likely never to last long as a prominent figure in the spotlight. No apology is necessary as Avenatti has received much of what he wanted by engaging with the public in the way he did.
Avenatti was compensated greatly with attention and praise for his positive acts and with notoriety. His issues with taxes and with his law firm were bound to come up and while his issues with domestic violence appear to have been contrived, that was not set in motion by Democrats nor by anyone here at DU so again, no apology needed. That Avenatti was assumed to have engaged in the behavior he was accused of by some at DU, while irritating, was not beyond the pale. People may jump the gun on judgement but given Avenatti's aggressive nature it was not something that would be totally beyond his character
Avenatti came out swinging and a lot of people liked and still like him for that. He, however, like many, seemed to have loved the attention way too much and that turned a lot of people off.
