Oh no, how unfortunate.
Stormy Daniels has a poor taste in lawyers (and men).

Remember when the media gave this clown over a hundred TV appearances because he spouted the right lines against Trump? And somehow, he was a credible source for his allegations against Brett Kavanaugh when he represented a client that claimed she was raped by him (which was false, btw). How the mighty has fallen.
When he was making his daily news appearances, he was likely already in trouble with the law, it just hadn't been public yet.
I think it would have been hilarious if he actually made it to any of the Democratic debates. He was really aggressive when he talked, and would have made the debates even more of a train wreck.
