Stormy Daniels attorney Michael Avenatti dropped a bomb on Saturday, saying he believes it will be “absolutely impossible” for Donald Trump to finish his term.
Avenatti said evidence that will present itself over the next few months will ultimately lead to the president’s resignation before his four-year stint is completed.

When Reid asked Avenatti why he thought Trump wouldn’t finish his term, he responded:
Well, because I think the amount of heat and the evidence that is going to come to light in the coming months, Joy, is going to make it absolutely impossible for him to serve out the balance of his term, without a doubt, and I think resignation is going to be his only option. That’s my prediction.
Avenatti’s prediction should terrify Trump
There are few people as close to the evidence in the Stormy Daniels case than Michael Avenatti, her lawyer. He clearly has insight into what lies around the bend for the president, and that should terrify Trump.
The situation became even more dire for the president in recent weeks as Michael Cohen’s offices were raided by the FBI – a sign that Russia and obstruction may not be the most troubling scandal facing the White House after all.
After remaining largely silent about the Stormy Daniels case as it exploded around him, Trump has since spoken up.
As multiple news outlets report that Cohen is now on the verge of flipping on Trump, the president is desperately lashing out. He knows this road leads to nowhere good for his presidency, and he’s melting down.
Donald Trump is drowning in legal trouble, and it’s becoming increasingly probable, as Michael Avenatti pointed out on Saturday, that the end result will either be impeachment or resignation.
