Say what you will about Donald Trump, but the rise of the reality TV presidency has marked the death knell for some of the nation's most notorious media hacks and grifters.

Today, U.S. attorneys indicted not only Trump-era villain and creepy porn lawyer Michael Avenatti, but also celebrity attorney Mark Geragos as a co-conspirator. The nation's two most famous legal frauds now face charges related to an extortion scheme.

Avenatti's been a walking dumpster fire and foil to the Trump presidency, but Geragos has scammed the system for years, representing not just the dregs of Hollywood — Chris Brown for domestic violence and Michael Jackson for pedophilia — but also #Resistance heroes such as Colin Kaepernick and hate-crime hoaxer Jussie Smollett. Much like Avenatti, Geragos never met a camera he didn't love, and now the pair are finally facing their comeuppance in criminal court.

Between Attorney General William Barr effectively exonerating Trump of impeachable offenses and Avenatti finally facing criminal charges, what's the true cherry on top for the best 24 hours of Trump's presidency, if not his entire life? Geragos is also an official legal analyst for CNN.

Paul Manafort spent decades abetting foreign dictatorships while avoiding legal punishments. He spent fewer than two months as Trump's campaign chairman and now he faces years of prison time for justice rightfully served. Shady figures in Trump's orbit — allies and adversaries alike — have a way of going down.
