Looks like he will not be on CNN for the foreseeable future.

Michael Avenatti, the once-swaggering celebrity lawyer who represented adult film star Stormy Daniels in her court battles against President Trump, was resentenced Thursday to 11 years in prison for dodging taxes and stealing millions of dollars from clients.

U.S. District Judge James V. Selna resentenced Avenatti to 135 months — slightly more than 11 years — but credited him 40 months for the time he has served in prison for stealing nearly $300,000 from Daniels’ advance on a book contract. That brought his sentence to nearly eight years.

"Avenatti has done many noble and good things in his life, some reflected in this case, but he's also done great evil for which he must answer," Selna said. "His actions in this case ... show an abandonment of some of the most basic principles of fairness."

You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.
