[Washington Examiner] Mark Geragos, a camera-ready attorney linked to lawyer Michael Avenatti's alleged extortion plot, isn't leaving his CNN perch quietly.Geragos, 61, made hundreds of appearances on CNN while working for the news organization. CNN dropped him after the Wall Street Journal reported Geragos was named a co-conspirator with Avenatti in a $20 million extortion attempt of Nike. Geragos wasn’t charged in the Avanatti complaint.
The Los Angeles-based legal analyst on Tuesday told a radio host CNN is a "lame-ass organization" that should change its name to "Cut and Run Network."
"I’ve been texted by all of their anchors who are as outraged as I am," Geragos said. "God forbid that I start telling some of the stories for how I’ve covered for that lame-ass organization."
Geragos claimed CNN bookers and anchors are eager for him to return to the network's airwaves. They're particularly interested in having him discuss the Jussie Smollett case, concerning a Chicago-based actor who allegedly engineered an assault against himself so he could call it a hate crime ‐ only to have the charges dropped after a plea agreement with his lawyers.
An absolutely stunning loss. Mark will be sorely missed.
