The other day, the US District Court for the Southern District of New York released the remaining Michael Cohen materials with the shocking revelation that Donald Trump knew of the hush money payment, and that there was a flurry of communications among Cohen, Trump, Hicks and Conway at that time.
To help us all understand the importance of these materials, Michael Avenatti, who does not actually represent anyone for any purpose relating to Cohen, and who is probably going to end up in jail for ripping of Stormy Daniels among others, helpfully held a press conference to explain it all to us:

He needs to just quietly sink into the background and hope he doesn't end up in prison.

claim the Feds wouldnt have been able to do it without him, complain that its not fair for a patriot like him to be prosecuted; Is this all the thanks I get? He sounds more and more like Trump every day and he really needs to shut up.

He has two criminal trials and a disbarment proceeding coming up, so he's going to be living on our dime before long.
