Mark Geragos aka CC-1 aka Michael Avenatti’s alleged co-conspirator in the Nike extortion scandal has been fired by CNN as a legal analyst, in almost total silence. There hasn’t been a press release or big, long official public statement from CNN about Geragos. Instead, they just claim he is no longer a contributor to CNN when asked by the Washington Examiner.

Just because @CNN fired Mark Geragos they don't have the right to destroy files and records. Need to get some lockdown on that information immediately. #MAGA

You know it’s bad when you’re too much of a scumbag for fake news CNN.

From @CNN: "Mark Geragos is no longer CNN contributor."
From repping @Kaepernick7 and @JussieSmollett to indicted on fraud to fired from CNN.
To be honest they all dovetail together perfectly. pic.twitter.com/D73wHvPWoS

A CNN spokesperson told the Washington Examiner Monday that its longtime legal analyst Mark Geragos is “no longer a CNN contributor.”
Geragos, 61, the alleged co-conspirator in the criminal case against celebrity lawyer Michael Avenatti made hundreds of appearances on CNN while working for the news organization.
His firing was so hasty that CNN had not had a chance to update its website and still had him listed as a “legal analyst”. He has made numerous appearances on CNN, frequently discussing the notable and often polarizing figures he represents. He is currently representing Jussie Smollett, who is accused of faking a hate crime for his own benefit. Geragos appeared on the network this month to discuss the case.
