Avenatti is entitled to due process, even if he is loathsome. What's he not entitled to is a sweetheart deal from the highly political LA DA's office. No doubt that's what he'll get though, the sort of headquarters special reserved for resistance thugs and dem pols. Republicans will complain briefly then drop the matter.
I did find it odd that bail was set, but don't know California's threshold for "suspicion of felony domestic violence". RNC already want the goods though, so we'll soon find out: Oh, I guess bail is set before charges are brough in Cali; so there goes your theory: http://www.courts.ca.gov/1069.htm The Arrest When the police arrest someone (the defendant), they take him or her to jail. Then, 1 of 3 things happens: • The defendant is released if the prosecutor (usually the district attorney or the city attorney) decides not to file charges; or • The defendant posts bail (also called a “bond”) or is released based on a promise to appear in court at a later date for arraignment. If either of these happen, the district attorney or police tell the defendant when to come to court for arraignment; or • The defendant stays in jail. Law enforcement officers transport the defendant to the court for arraignment.

Avenatti tweeted Thursday that he has "NOT been charged with anything, let alone a felony." Okay fine. I just report the news. I dont make it. https://abcnews.go.com/US/michael-a...-arrested-domestic-violence/story?id=59202264
According to Michael Avenatti and Here4Money this official arrest and charging information from the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department is wrong.
You may have missed I posted the official declaration by the LAPD (by twitter no less). All I asked for was a source.
