Unless I'm mistaken, this is about recharging Ken Kurson on the State level for crimes for which Trump pardoned him on the Federal level.

Those crimes btw are:

[using] spyware to obtain passwords and log into his wife’s Gmail and Facebook accounts.

Prosecutors say he also illegally acquired and anonymously shared private Facebook messages

He logged onto his wife's email and FB.

Now maybe he did something wrong, I have no idea, butt this ranks up there at between a 1 and 3 out of 10 on the "no no" scale in my book, depending on the extent of the actual harm and damages, IF he in fact did them at all. Although if there was any resulting harm, you'd think they would list it in the smear piece.

Considering this started two years after Trump submitted him for appointment (charges brought by the FBI), and he withdrew (likely because of FBI threats), I'm gonna call this another Michael Flynn, Roger Stone, or Papadopoulos operation; in this case being jumped on by another Avenatti.
