Comedian Hires Stormy Daniels’ Lawyer After Secret Service Contacts Him

Comedian John Melendez has hired Stormy Daniels’ lawyer Michael Avenatti to represent him. You see, he’s in a bit of a pickle.

A comedian who hoaxed Donald Trump by calling him while he was on Air Force One has hired Storm Daniels’ lawyer to represent him after being hauled in front of the Secret Service.

John Melendez, better known by his stage name ‘Stuttering John’, revealed on Twitter he had engaged the services of Michael Avenatti, who is suing the President for defamation on behalf of Ms Daniels.

Whether you're a republican or democrat you should be truly scared by how easily I got through to the President. This is not partisan. It's just plain scary.

Uh…yeah. I’m concerned.

The long-time radio personality said on Friday he was able to reach the president by claiming he was Democratic New Jersey Senator Robert Menendez.

He was also able to speak to a number of other people in the administration as his call was passed along, including the President Trump’s son-in-law.

The conversations were made public after Melendez posted the material to ‘The Stuttering John’ podcast.

Like, they had a full-fledged conversation.

‘Hi Bob. How are you, congratulations on everything, we’re proud of you. Congratulations, you’re doing a great job,’ says President Trump at the start of the call.

He then made reference to Menendez’s past indictment on corruption charges, which resulted in a hung jury last year before a federal judge cleared him earlier this year at the request of prosecutors.

‘You went through a tough, tough situation – and I don’t think a very fair situation – but congratulations,’ President Trump said in audio first played during Melendez’s Stuttering John podcast on Thursday.

But it wasn’t that funny of a joke, because Secret Service gave him a ring.

Enter Michael Avenatti.

Instead of wasting time on this, Mr. Trump should focus on the numerous other things that are of a greater priority. Let’s start with reuniting over 2,000 children with their parents immediately. #Basta #FightClub https://t.co/BGcDE4ChOk

Imagine our adversaries in the world as they learned how easy it was for a comedian to bypass security measures and reach the president. They are rolling. Once again, Mr. Trump has made the U.S. the brunt of jokes and brought embarrassment to what we are all about as a nation.

It’s like the episode of a crappy show I don’t want to watch. And with that I say, to be continued…
