Stormy Daniels’ lawyer Michael Avenatti claimed Tuesday that he was an intended target in Cesar Sayoc’s bomb scares aimed at prominent critics of President Donald Trump and CNN.
I was informed this afternoon by the FBI that I was targeted by Cesar Sayoc. I applaud the hard working men and women of the FBI for his arrest and their continuing investigation. At some point, Trump will be held accountable for his role in the events of the last few weeks.

I can’t decide what is more likely: this is true or Avenatti was frustrated by not having his name in headlines for a few days. I suppose those aren’t mutually exclusive.
One of the two Trumps.
Whatever you think about Avenatti, I’m not surprised at all that he was also targeted - and that is according to the FBI (I don’t think he’d lie about that).
It’s an open question though whether “targeted” means a bomb was mailed, or that he was 113th on some list.
I’m guessing it’s the latter, and @boisdevache is correct that he needed to get his name back in the news.
Is his 15 minutes up yet. I am so over another person who thinks everything is about him. The Dumpster is plenty for that shit.
