Michael Avenatti, a man of exceptionally low moral character and failed integrity, who was also the mainstream media’s one-time all-star favorite liar, was convicted of fraud and theft from his former Client Stormy Daniels.  Today he was sentenced.

Avenatti is currently serving a 30-month prison sentence for corporate extortion of Nike and was just sentenced to an additional four years in prison for wire fraud and identity theft in the Stormy Daniel Case.

(Via CNN) – Disgraced attorney Michael Avenatti was sentenced to four years in prison for stealing nearly $300,000 from his former client, adult film actress Stormy Daniels.

District Judge Jesse Furman said Avenatti’s conduct was “so brazen and egregious” adding, he “took advantage of a vulnerable victim given her unorthodox career and somewhat unorthodox beliefs.”

Avenatti was convicted in February of one count of wire fraud and one count of aggravated identity theft. He faced as much as 20 years on the wire fraud charge and a mandatory two-year sentence for aggravated identity theft.

Avenatti is currently serving a 30-month prison sentence for attempting to extort over $20 million from Nike by threatening to go public with damaging information unless they paid him. He goes on trial next month in California on charges alleging that he embezzled $10 million in settlement funds from at least five clients. He has also been charged with tax fraud and bankruptcy fraud and pleaded not guilty to the charges. (read more)

Michael Sussmann has been acquitted of lying to the FBI. The verdict comes as no surprise as the jury was personally selected to favor Sussmann, while the judge had been bought and paid for by the Clintons. Sussmann said: “I told the truth to the FBI and the jury record clearly recognize that with their unanimous verdict today, I’m grateful to the members of the jury for their careful and thoughtful service. Despite being falsely accused. I’m relieved that Justice ultimately prevailed in my case.”

Hillary Clinton’s own campaign manager Robby Mook admitted that the collusion hoax was a deliberate attempt to manipulate the presidential election and distract the public from Hillary’s email scandal. The prosecutor presented the jury with clear evidence of Sussmann billing the Clinton campaign for collecting information to link Russia’s Alfa Bank to Donald Trump. In one clear text, Sussmann said that he wanted to help the FBI by providing them with information independently. There is a possibility that Clinton misled Sussmann and allowed him to take the fall. She has not responded publicly on the trial.

“Opposition research is not illegal. If it were, the jails of Washington, D.C. would be teeming over,” the defense attorney said during the beginning of the trial. Unfortunately, this was more than research. Hillary Clinton and her crew ran with the story and blatantly claimed Donald Trump stole the election with the help of Russia. This trial paints a bleak picture of the FBI, the media, and America’s entire legal system.

The Michael Sussmann trial is completely corrupt and biased to favor the Clintons. Sussmann is charged with lying to the FBI under 18 U.S.C. 1001 for claiming there were ties between the Trump campaign and Russian bank Alfa. Other Clinton advisors have admitted that Hillary Clinton herself signed off on the lie that Trump was colluding with the Russians to hack the 2016 US Presidential Election. Federal Judge Christopher Cooper who is overseeing the trial has been bought and paid for by the Clintons.

To begin, one of the jurors donated to the Clintons and simply said he would “strive for impartiality as best I can.” Judge Cooper overruled prosecutors’ objections to having him on the jury after he clearly said he could not guarantee he’d judged unbiasedly. Another woman on the jury is a far-left AOC supporter and donor, and a third said she simply cannot recall if she donated to the Clintons in the past. Worse, another woman admitted her husband worked for the failed Clinton campaign in 2008. As if all of this weren’t evidence enough of an unfair jury, one woman revealed that her daughter attends high school and plays sports with the defendant’s own daughter.

Corrupt Judge Cooper insists the trial cannot revolve around the actual Clinton campaign and has banned special counsel John Durham from suggesting any “joint venture.” The same permissions were not provided to Trump’s former staff when they faced their day in court. This entire trial appears to be for show as the jury likely reached a verdict before the trial began.

There is very little that surprises me, but this is completely stunning.  An FBI whistleblower came forth to inform Rep Jim Jordan and Rep Matt Gaetz that the FBI maintains a workspace inside the law firm of Perkins Coie.  {Direct Rumble Link}

In response to a letter sent by Rep. Matt Gaetz and Jim Jordan, Perkins Coie, the legal arm of the DNC and Hillary Clinton, admitted they have been operating an FBI workspace in their Washington D.C. office since 2012.  Pay attention to that date, it matters.  WATCH:

This is a huge development.  Essentially, what is being admitted in this claim is that a portal existed into FBI databases within the law firm that represents democrats.  This means access to FBI database searches exists inside the office of the DNC and Clinton legal group.  Think about the ramifications here.

CTH has long claimed there was some kind of direct portal link between the Clinton campaign team and the FBI databases.  There were too many trails of extracted non-minimized research evidence in the hands of the Clinton team that CTH could not trace to a transferring FBI official.  If Perkins Coie operated a portal in their office that allowed them to conduct search queries of American citizens, then everything would make sense.  That access portal is exactly what is being claimed and admitted in this report.

The start date of 2012 is important for several reasons, not the least of which is FISA presiding Judge Rosemary Collyer criticizing the scale and scope of unlawful FBI database access going back to exactly 2012.  Keep in mind a FISA-702 search, is simply an unlawful FBI warrantless electronic search of an American (“702” represents the American citizen) into the central database -maintained by the NSA- that contains all electronic data and communication.

I have been in the deep hole of the FISA-702 database search query violations for so long I don’t even need a flashlight.

The report from Matt Gaetz about Perkins Coie access to FBI databases, is in direct alignment with Rosemary Collyer’s prior report on FBI abuses of the database, 702 violations.  Notice the dates and scope Judge Collyer references [Source Link].

Non-compliant queries since 2012.

85% of the FBI and contractor searches are unlawful.

Many of those searches involved the use of the “same identifiers over different data ranges.”  Put in plain terms, the same people were continually being tracked, searched and surveilled by querying the FBI database over time.

The non-compliant searches go back to 2012.  The same date mentioned for the FBI portal to begin operating inside the Perkins Coie office.

This specific footnote is a key.  Note the phrase: “([redacted] access to FBI systems was the subject of an interagency memorandum of understanding entered into [redacted])”, this sentence has the potential to expose an internal decision; withheld from congress and the FISA court by the Obama administration; that outlines a process for access and distribution of surveillance data.

Note: “no notice of this practice was given to the FISC until 2016“, that is important.

♦Summary: The FISA court identified and quantified tens-of-thousands of search queries of the NSA/FBI database using the FISA-702(16)(17) system. The database was repeatedly used by persons with contractor access who unlawfully searched and extracted the raw results without redacting the information and shared it with an unknown number of entities.

The outlined process certainly points toward a political spying and surveillance operation.  When the DOJ use of the IRS for political information on their opposition became problematic, the Obama administration needed another tool.  It was in 2012 when they switched to using the FBI databases for targeted search queries.

This information from Jim Jordan and Matt Gaetz has the potential to be extremely explosive.

It will be interesting to see how the domestic intelligence community media (NYT, Politico, WaPo – in that order) respond to this Matt Gaetz report.

I wrote about these suspicions in depth throughout 2017, 2018 and eventually summarized in 2019:
