The truth is that at the end of the day, Avenatti has no idea what’s going to happen to Cohen or Trump, and the only shoes he knows about are the expensive ones he will be buying if a report by NBC News is true. On April 20, NBC News reported that multiple talent agencies have been reaching out to Avenatti. (Think Ari Gold on “Entourage” trying to secure the next “big thing.”)

Surely, Avenatti’s end game is to capitalize on his current representation of an onscreen prostitute who allegedly had a one-night stand with president more than a decade ago. Why else would he be publicly commenting on things that have nothing or very little to do with his client’s actual claim?

To be fair, none of this is a knock on his abilities as a lawyer, although perhaps Avenatti’s retreat from the law might not be such a bad idea. On April 7, 2018, the Seattle Times reported that Avenatti has been embroiled in legal troubles relating to his purchase of a coffee company at auction. Since the purchase five years ago, the Seattle Times reports Avenatti’s investment company has been named in more than 50 state or federal complaints “including commercial lawsuits, breach of lease actions and warrants for unpaid taxes.”
