This guy claiming he has a chick that is going to say Kav and Judge ran a gang rape gang in high school, in the early 80's.
No thread here from our resident libturds?

That BS came out yesterday. Even the Liberals Fear Avenatti Is Derailing Their Plans To Stop Kavanaugh ;D https://dailycaller.com/2018/09/25/michael-avenatti-brett-kavanaugh/

Dude's a hack. Actually had the balls to say he wants to run for President. ::)
-
He is one creepy mofo. lol
-
Actually Michael Avenatti shut his Twitter account down earlier today.
The third Kavanaugh accuser that Avenatti thought he had ready to testify - was actually a 4Chan prank.
They catfished him on 4Chan.
How long do you get disbarred for when you slander a Supreme Court Justice?

I'm surprised he has the nerve to show his face after Tucker Carlson turned him into rhetorical sushi last week:
-
When asked about Avenatti’s claim during a Fox News interview Monday, Kavanaugh volunteered that he remained a virgin through high school and several years afterward.
Everyone is making unprovable statements. Bring on the lie detector....not that they're all that accurate.

Why would anyone lie about being a virgin? It's about the last thing any grown man, let alone a respected justice, wants to do on national TV. He's been forced to reveal highly private details of his life to try to counter the libels being directed at him by his enemies on the Left. No American should ever have to answer such questions, period.

Yeah, he's been melting and running up and down the Internet and the media claiming it's not true:

That's awesome. Lol
Of course he denies it. So we'll be seeing him bring forward this broad that made these claims?

I'm surprised he has the nerve to show his face after Tucker Carlson turned him into rhetorical sushi last week:
Hilarious - TC tells him he won't call him names or hurl insults, but every time he talks there's a headline that says "Creepy Porn Lawyer mulling 2020 run".
-

Well, the accusation has been made, he has to prove himself innocent.
That is how legal matters work according to Democrats.

That chyron was at the start of the segment and did not appear after. He didn't call him any names in the interview, other than shameless and exploitative, which he clearly is for the reasons stated by TC.

Yeah, I was with him until he said that. He might as well have said he was the best baseball player in all of New York, or that he won a $1million dollar lottery when he was 20 but gave it away to charity on a bet and people would be more likely to believe him
-
Avenatti is your typical ambulance chaser. I wish he'd go away
-
IMO Avenatti is a slime ball. He's almost as slimy as Trump. Guess what we have now is all the slime from the 'swamp'. Yuk!

Yep, because that can't possibly be true ::)
Depending on where you go to school/upbringing this is very possible and even likely.

So if I'm tracking, she knew there was spiked punch and gang rapes, kept going to these parties, got drugged and gang raped herself, went back to the parties after she was drugged gang raped for a total of about ten parties, and did this while she was a college student attending high school parties.
Sounds legit.

The Truth About Kavanaugh
-
“If you drag a hundred-dollar bill through a trailer park, you never know what you’ll find.” - James Carville on behalf of the Clintons
-
I'm sure "Dr" Ford is enjoying the $500,000 USD she peeled off liberal cretins on gofundme, giving up their tax refund just to buy her a new house in exclusive Palo Alto, CA.
Has anyone seen any other photos of this woman besides the ubiquitous generic ugly American blond with sunglasses photo? Because she seems to be something of a unicorn - nobody seems to know her.

this statement is from his college room mate freshman year
We shared a two-bedroom unit in the basement of Lawrence Hall on the Old Campus. Despite our living conditions, Brett [Kavanaugh] and I did not socialize beyond the first few days of freshman year. We talked at night as freshman roommates do and I would see him as he returned from nights out with his friends…
It is from this experience that I concluded that although Brett was normally reserved, he was a notably heavy drinker, even by the standards of the time, and that he became aggressive and belligerent when he was very drunk. I did not observe the specific incident in question, but I do remember Brett frequently drinking excessively and becoming incoherently drunk.
—James Roche, former roommate of Brett Kavanaugh, in a statement following the allegations of fellow Yalie Deborah Ramirez against the Supreme Court nominee. Roche, CEO of HELIX RE, went on to note he believed Kavanaugh “capable” of the attack as Ramirez described it, and said Ramirez was “exceptionally honest, with a trusting manner.”

Yeah, I had a college roommate who liked to drink, too. He'd suck a bottle of stoli dry in an hour and couldn't get enough beer when his parents sent him his allowance.
Several girls on campus claimed to have been assaulted at keg parties during my first year there. I didn't witness the alleged assaults and I don't know if my roommate was there, but he did drink a lot, so that tells you everything about him.
I mean, right?

wrong, as usual, and Kavanaughs room mate nor anyone has has suggested "that tells you everything you need to know"
-

What's wrong? Everything in his statement mirrors mine. He's claiming the guy drank heavily but doesn't claim the guy was involved in the types of activities he's accused of. In other words, he's trying to connect the dots by inference without actually spelling it out, since he can't. That's called a smear. Care to amplify or revise your reply?

he said he saw Kavanuagh get incoherently drunk and that when so "he became aggressive and belligerent"
he also said he believed the accuser (another fellow classmate). That's a belief and not an accusation. Everyone is entitled to a belief.
a smear is by definition a false accusation
what part of his statement is the false accusation?
smear
smir/Submit
verb
1.
coat or mark (something) messily or carelessly with a greasy or sticky substance.
"his face was smeared with dirt"
synonyms: streak, smudge, mark, soil, dirty; More
2.
damage the reputation of (someone) by false accusations; slander.
"someone was trying to smear her by faking letters"
synonyms: sully, tarnish, blacken, drag through the mud, taint, damage, defame, discredit, malign, slander, libel, slur; More
-
he said he saw Kavanuagh get incoherently drunk and that when so "he became aggressive and belligerent"
That is called hearsay. It's an unsubstantiated claim, something you claim Trump does on a regular basis. To that end, it can be dismissed as unfounded.
he also said he believed the accuser (another fellow classmate). That's a belief and not an accusation. Everyone is entitled to a belief.
There's far more people that don't believe her, so if belief is weighted quantitatively, he's innocent and she's lying.
a smear is by definition a false accusation
what part of his statement is the false accusation?
All of it, since accusations are false by default until proven otherwise. That's how our legal system works, dummy.
-

wrong yet again
he didn't "hear about it" he witnessed it (the incoherent drunk and acting aggressive and belligerent"
There's far more people that don't believe her, so if belief is weighted quantitatively, he's innocent and she's lying.
now that an example of hearsay but maybe you can prove this claim
All of it, since accusations are false by default until proven otherwise. That's how our legal system works, dummy.
accusations are not "false by default" until proven otherwise
Where did you get that idea
Maybe you're confusing that with the presumption of innocence but this is not a court of law
-
wrong yet again
he didn't "hear about it" he witnessed it (the incoherent drunk and acting aggressive and belligerent"
How can that be proven? He said nothing of it at the time, which suggests he held onto information that was explosive and potentially harmful to others, making him complicit and no better than the guy's he's accusing.
accusations are not "false by default" until proven otherwise
In China, you'd be right. Which is why I said you like their system better than ours, since no proof is needed for claims to be considered truthful there, as long as the accused is politically suspect.
Where did you get that idea
The constitution, I guess.
Maybe you're confusing that with the presumption of innocence but this is not a court of law
Nope, there's laws against slander and defamation when claims are made without proof, and cases are often settled out of court or successfully prosecuted for just that reason. Can't prove? It's bullshit.

Are you really this dumb. Witnesses state what they've seen and heard.
That's all they do. There statement could be verified by other people but they don't have to be.
If this were a trial (which it's not) the witness would state what they've seen and hear and the jury would decide whether to believe this
Do you actually not understand this?

People believe all sorts of accusation without proof and even after they are proven false
For an example, take any bullshit you believe about Hillary Clinton
The constitution, I guess.
can you post the section that states "accusations are false by default until proven otherwise"

Actually, before being called to the stand, witness testimony has to be verified, otherwise it would be discredited by the defense, causing the entire prosecution to potentially collapse. This has not occurred with these witnesses.
Do you actually not understand this?
Sure, I understand that you have zero understanding of how our legal system works.

Which is why people can't be trusted to make decisions on innocence or guilt without professional lawyers and a judge to filter the information for them and only tell them what they need to hear, rather than whatever everyone in the general population tells them. In case you hadn't noticed by now, people are dumb. Look who they elected. ;)
can you post the section that states "accusations are false by default until proven otherwise"
Yep
The 5th and 14th amendments to the U.S. Constitution guarantee “due process of law” to all persons, including foreign students and other aliens in the US. Due process of law requires that orderly legal procedures be followed to establish guilt before a person can be put in jail or otherwise punished. In the United States, a person is considered innocent until proven guilty. The 14th amendment to the US Constitution guarantees to every person, aliens included, “equal protection under the law.” Equal protection under the law means that the law applies to everyone equally, regardless of age, sex, race or wealth, and that no law may discriminate between persons or classes of persons. There are, however, laws that apply only to certain classes of people, such as aliens. As long as there is a reasonable basis for these laws, they satisfy the requirement of fairness and justice. These laws may limit and modify basic rights. Except for these special alien laws, foreign students are subject to the same laws as are American citizens. They are also guaranteed the same protection under the laws and the same civil rights as are American citizens.

No shit that witnesses are vetted but if it's an eye witness with no other source how do you think that's "verified"
If every witness statement is verified before they are put on the stand then they wouldn't even need the witness. They could just present the "verification" as evidence
I see you haven't been able to find the section in the Constitution that states "accusations are false by default until proven otherwise" and of course this process is NOT a trial
However witnesses are sworn in and can be convicted of lying to Congress so I guess we'll see the Republican congress soon convicted all these "false witnesses" of lying...right?
If Kavanuagh is not appointed I'd bet he doesn't sue any of the people mentioned so far (i.e. his former college roomate, or the 3 women who have come forward so far)
-
No shit that witnesses are vetted but if it's an eye witness with no other source how do you think that's "verified"
By cross-referencing their whereabouts at the time of the alleged incident they witnessed. Ever see My Cousin Vinny? The prosecution's whole case rested on an eyewitness who saw something hundreds of feet away, and then admitted she couldn't even see something 10 feet away when Pesci held out an object for her to ID. Eyewitnesses are the least reliable of all evidence, and that's why cases don't rely on them. That's all you have in Kavanaugh's situation, except none of those people can corroborate their testimony, so it should be discounted unless new evidence comes to light confirming their account.
If every witness statement is verified before they are put on the stand then they wouldn't even need the witness. They could just present the "verification" as evidence
Not really, because that would mean they're putting forward a case that has no witnesses, which makes sense if it's based on forensic evidence, DNA, or documentary or video proof. None of which exist here, so eyewitnesses is ALL they have. But those witnesses aren't credible because they can't prove what happened any more than you can.
I see you haven't been able to find the section in the Constitution that states "accusations are false by default until proven otherwise" and of course this process is NOT a trial
It's right there: Presumption of innocence on the part of the accused. Anything said against the accused is not true unless it's proven true. I realize it requires you actually connecting the dots but everyone else gets it and has from 300 years. It IS a trial because his integrity and reputation are on trial, same as in a civil suit.
However witnesses are sworn in and can be convicted of lying to Congress so I guess we'll see the Republican congress soon convicted all these "false witnesses" of lying...right?
Perjury is when you're proven to have lied. Nobody can prove a negative, ya donk. Doesn't mean we should believe it, either. In other words, it's hearsay, like I said 3 posts ago. You don't disqualify on hearsay.
If Kavanuagh is not appointed I'd bet he doesn't sue any of the people mentioned so far (i.e. his former college roomate, or the 3 women who have come forward so far)

Oh look a talking point embraced by liberals in the past couple days.
We don't turn due process on its head because someone isn't in a courtroom. No, we don't force people going through Senate confirmation have to prove their innocence when a ridiculous, uncorroborated, politically motivated allegation is made. Absurd logic.

We allow 6 of them. When the 7th is at the request of a private citizen who has no further details to offer to her claims than what I can claim about your whereabouts last night, the government draws the line for the sake of decorum and respect for our institutions not being playdoh in the hands of every crank, liar, fanatic, and man-hating nut in the country. So sorry about that.

He's not done milking this or any number of his other scams to stay relevant in the liberal news and make money he didn't earn through practicing his profession, since lawyers typically don't hold interviews on TV or organize open-air rallies for themselves unless they plan to, you know
become politicians

I believe the FBI is the most definitive and prestigious law enforcement branch in the United States, and should only be activated at the behest of the executive or prompted by crimes so serious they supersede the resources of local and state police, or fall outside their jurisdiction.
A girl who thinks some guy touched her whether yesterday or 40 years ago, regardless of how high up he is, does not have the right or power to demand an investigation by this venerable institution unless it's to become a farce of what it is today.

It's a talking point repeated by darn near every Democrat near a microphone.
No, he doesn't need to be read his Miranda rights. But in front of a U.S. Senate committee that has investigatory powers, someone accused of a crime should not have to prove the crime didn't happen. Unless you're a leftwing boob, in which case someone can make an uncorroborated 36 year old allegation and have it presumed to be true.

Unless you're a leftwing boob, in which case someone can make an uncorroborated 36 year old allegation and have it presumed to be true.
We should all agree that because WE know the FBI is charged with doing background investigations on Supreme court nominees, that after the investigation "closes" if new info comes to light, it only stands to reason that an FBI investigation into the claims should be warranted. Especially if 3 people are claiming an issue. What is the harm? Whats the hurry? Facts should matter

the circus is ongoing. Half the democrats left the hearing in the middle of the chairman's speech to go hold a publicity stunt press conference outside. If they really have something to say about the witness or the judge, shouldn't they have stayed inside and made their cases? No, they ran outside and whined like children who didn't get what they wanted. Typical liberals.

Facts, not 36 year old unfounded accusations.
Will there be an FBI investigation into the guy that dragged his old lady off the bad and assaulted her?
Will there be an FBI investigation into Cory Booker who openly admitted to sexually assaulting a girl?
-
Yup, and he touched her private areas. Brett is not alleged to have done anything but lie on top of her for a few seconds before he got off, which didn't even happen anyhow, but still - not even comparable.

I'm merely pointing out your description is minimizing. "all he did was lie on top of her for a few seconds before getting off" completely ignores the alleged pushed her into the room, turned up the music, got on top of her, tried to take her clothes off, and put his hand over her mouth when she screamed... but yeah.. all he did was allegedly lie on top of her for a few seconds.

That's right, I am minimizing it. You know why? Because rape and sexual assault are one thing, and grinding on a girl is another. By equating both, or almost, this woman just made a mockery of every legitimate sex crime victim in the world. You don't see that? Princess L does, and if anyone has the right to post about women and how they feel in this forum, she certainly should get first crack at it since the rest of us have testicles.

3rd Kavanaugh accuser has history of legal disputes
Julie Swetnick, one of the women who has publicly accused Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct, has an extensive history of involvement in legal disputes, including a lawsuit in which an ex-employer accused her of falsifying her college and work history on her job application.
Legal documents from Maryland, Oregon and Florida provide a partial picture of a woman who stepped into the media glare amid the battle over Kavanaugh's nomination for the nation's highest court.
Court records reviewed by The Associated Press show Swetnick has been involved in at least six legal cases over the past 25 years. Along with the lawsuit filed by a former employer in November 2000, the cases include a personal injury suit she filed in 1994 against the Washington, D.C., regional transit authority.

if that's "all he did" to Ford then that confirms he lied under oath since he say the encounter/incident, whatever you want to call it, never happened
Lying is something it appears he's done multiple times throughout the confirmation hearing
that alone should be disqualifying
his Trumpian rant on Thursday is also disqualifying and if he gets on the court he'll be correctly viewed as a partisan hack for the rest of his life

There's quite a difference between there being not enough evidence to prosecute and being completely exonerated. Jacob Wohl's tweet ridiculous headline neglects to mention this. Another thing, Kavanaugh has not been charged with a crime is even if he did what Ford claims, he wouldn't be charged because Maryland's statute of limitations on such matters is 5 years.
Unfortunately for Kavanaugh, he will never be completely exonerated in the court of public opinion.

Avenatti's media honeymoon is over following Kavanaugh accuser backlash
The Hill ^ | 10/08/18 | JOE CONCHA
Posted on 10/8/2018, 11:24:42 AM by yesthatjallen
Avenatti's media honeymoon is over following Kavanaugh accuser backlash
No private citizen has enjoyed more free airtime on two-thirds of the major cable news networks than Michael Avenatti has in 2018.
Tune in to CNN and there's a decent chance you'll find him there. If he isn't on CNN, there's an equally good chance he'll be on MSNBC. Since coming onto the scene as Stormy Daniels’ made-for-TV attorney in March, he's appeared hundreds of times on each network — and that's not hyperbole. In fact, he’s appeared on virtually all news channels, including a Sept. 27 interview on Hill.TV’s "Rising."
That's fine if you're a paid contributor whose job it is to weigh in on whatever is hot in the news that day. But Avenatti is an unpaid guest who originally was booked to talk about Daniels and her case against the president.
That reason for appearing expired months ago. Yet, the 47-year-old attorney continues to be a hot booking for his political punditry. Most recently, Avenatti represented Julie Swetnick, who accused Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh of being present at multiple high school-era parties involving gang rapes and which she said she repeatedly attended as a college student. Swetnick also accused Kavanaugh of being "a drug addict." Neither allegation has any corroboration, of course, and has been largely dismissed, even in some Democratic circles.
Political media now appears to be waking up to Avenatti being a partisan provocateur.
Per the New York Times’ Peter Baker: "Avenatti’s involvement proved a turning point, according to congressional aides from both parties. It was ‘manna from heaven,’ says a GOP aide. ‘Massively unhelpful,’ says a Democrat.”
Avenatti's involvement proved a turning point, according to congressional aides from both parties. It was "manna from heaven," says a GOP aide. "Massively unhelpful," says a Democrat. "A bunch of nonsense," retorts Avenatti.
— Peter Baker (@peterbakernyt) October 7, 2018 Per the Washington Post: "Did Michael Avenatti help doom the case against Brett Kavanaugh?"
Analysis: Did Michael Avenatti help doom the case against Brett Kavanaugh?
— Washington Post (@washingtonpost) October 5, 2018 Per CNN Breaking News Editor Kyle Feldscher: "Hard to state how much Avenatti's entrance into this process hurt the Democratic effort to bring down Kavanaugh's nomination."
Hard to state how much Avenatti's entrance into this process hurt the Democratic effort to bring down Kavanaugh's nomination.
— Kyle Feldscher (@Kyle_Feldscher) October 5, 2018 Per conservative Erick Erickson: “THANK YOU @MichaelAvenatti!!!!!!!” Thank you. America loves you. God bless you for helping Brett Kavanaugh.”
THANK YOU @MichaelAvenatti!!!!!!! Thank you. America loves you. God bless you for helping Brett Kavanaugh.
— Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) October 5, 2018 All, and there are many other examples, were responding to a speech on the Senate floor by moderate Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, who specifically noted Swetnick's allegations as one of the many reasons she voted for Kavanaugh, despite the damage it could do to her politically in the Pine Tree state.
“This outlandish allegation [by Swetnick and Avenatti] was put forth without any credible supporting evidence and simply parroted public statements of others,” Collins said. “That such an allegation can find its way into the Supreme Court confirmation process is a stark reminder about why the presumption of innocence is so ingrained in our American consciousness.”
Avenatti, of course, isn't remotely backing down despite his client being thoroughly discredited and his inability to produce one named corroborating witness.
Instead, he continues to argue that any scrutiny of Swetnick's claims or past personal history is an attack on a sexual assault survivor that should bring shame on anyone engaging in such behavior.
"You are right. I should have turned my back on my client," Avenatti tweeted at Feldscher. "Told her to 'shut up' and stay quiet because people like you apparently believe assault victims are to blame. This line of thinking is disgusting and offensive to all survivors. And it makes lawyers not want to help them."
You are right. I should have turned my back on my client. Told her to “shut up” and stay quiet because people like you apparently believe assault victims are to blame. This line of thinking is disgusting and offensive to all survivors. And it makes lawyers not want to help them.
— Michael Avenatti (@MichaelAvenatti) October 5, 2018 So what happens the next time Avenatti appears on CNN or MSNBC? Per a New York Times profile on Avenatti in July, he's not just a guest; he has built relationships with some anchors and executives.
In all likelihood, Avenatti will continue to enjoy as much airtime as he desires, but only if he declares his presidential candidacy.
Only in that scenario would it be warranted to continue booking him. Otherwise, these networks and others will see that its credibility isn't worth whatever inconsequential ratings boost Avenatti offers.
For Avenatti, the honeymoon must eventually come to an end
Joe Concha (@JoeConchaTV) is a media reporter for The Hill and host of "What America's Thinking."
-
His new role is to keep his phone on 24/7 and remain on-call if ever Stormy Daniels gets arrested again in a bar for engaging in lewd or lascivious behavior (like last summer), since he can always squeeze that lemon for 5 minutes of airtime on MSNBC or CNN. I see a future as an op-ed contributor to the huffingtonpost website, aka the graveyard for previously relevant liberals who still have an inning left before they're permanent sent to the bench.

Liberals are always 3 weeks behind conservatives. We dismissed Swetnick after Hannity picked apart her interview with NBC Nightly News with surgical precision; other conservative outlets soon followed suit. NBC stood by her even after they openly admitted they couldn't verify any of her claims and her ex boyfriend came out publicly with stories of her dishonesty and manipulative past.
Avenatti's career ended on Tucker Carlson's show on the 13th of last month. The Left, as usual, didn't get the memo until October.
-
Even Stormy Daniels is giving up, lol. Losers can't take on winners forever, it doesn't hold water. Bet her lawyer's preparing to admit himself to the local nut ward.
Stormy Daniels said she regrets “body shaming” President Donald Trump following her claims that the commander-in-chief’s penis resembles “the mushroom character” in “Mario Kart.”
In an interview with “60 Minutes Australia,” the former porn star said she feels “pretty terrible” for sharing intimate details about the president’s genitalia in her tell-all book, Full Disclosure.
“In a way, it’s body shaming and I feel like if I could go back and write the book [again], I think I would have left those details out,” she said. “I justify it in a way to myself, even now, saying ‘this is a man who said much worse things about women multiple times,’ so here’s a taste of your own medicine, asshole.”

Top Senate Republican refers Kavanaugh accuser, lawyer Michael Avenatti to Justice Department for criminal investigation
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles E. Grassley (Iowa) said that the referral was based on "a potential conspiracy to provide materially false statements to Congress and obstruct a congressional committee investigation."
Grassley specifically singled out Julie Swetnick, who had said in an affidavit that Brett M. Kavanaugh was present at a house party in 1982 where she alleges she was the victim of a gang rape. He vehemently denied the claim as well as other allegations of sexual misconduct.
The Senate narrowly confirmed Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court earlier this month.

What a piece of work, this attorney. Represents porn star, then porn star has to pay Trump for sex. Gets a woman to falsely testify against a Supreme Court nominee, get's himself a lawsuit from his former firm, gets himself disbarred, then gets himself arrested for beating a woman.
He said he didn't do it. Aren't we always supposed to accept the women's story?

As a unabashed Liberal, I won't be surprised if this is a DNC hit job. I do not believe these allegations are going to amount to a hill of beans. Establishment democrats don't like him because he has a backbone and will fight fire with fire. His comment last week or the week before that the dems should run a white, male candidate for president was pounced on the the pc police dems. He even qualified that statement by saying it shouldn't be that way, but the reality is that it is that way.

That's EXACTLY what lib-tards do when confronted with something they cannot dispute - they either ignore or "block."
Just like our own howard/coward.
Since he can no longer delete posts he doesn't like in "his" threads, he simply ignores them. Same with prime.
Liberals in general are weak, pathetic pussies with no conviction.
Except Straw.
I don't agree with most of his political views, but I do like him; only because he doesn't back down. He believes in his points and will argue them til death, regardless of how ridiculous they sometimes are.

Michael Avenatti accused of smacking girlfriend, dragging her out of bed
NY Post ^ | November 20, 2018 | 2:22pm | Lia Eustachewich
Posted on 11/20/2018, 3:24:15 PM by conservative98
Michael Avenatti allegedly dragged his actress girlfriend out of bed and called her an “ungrateful ####### #####” during a recent spat over money, according to a report Tuesday.
Mareli Miniutti claims she was injured in the brawl last Tuesday with her boyfriend Avenatti, whom she’d been living with in Los Angeles since January.
The lawyer is accused of smacking Miniutti in the face with pillows and yanking her out of bed by the “wrist of my right arm,” according to her declaration filed in Los Angeles Superior Court and obtained by The Blast.
Avenatti had also warned her “do not disrespect me” and told her she couldn’t sleep at his place that night, the document says.
The Estonia native tried texting a pal for help — but claims the fuming lawyer snatched her phone away. He then allegedly pulled her out of bed by her arm and dragged her across the floor through the apartment and out the front door into a hallway.
Minuitti, who was only wearing her underwear at the time, claims she suffered scratches to her back and red marks on her legs.
Photos of the alleged injuries were included with her declaration.
She began ringing a neighbor’s doorbell for help but Avenatti pulled her back into the apartment, the court documents say. After putting on pants and bolting for an elevator, Avenatti allegedly begged her, “Don’t do this, Mareli. Don’t involve them.”

Stormy Daniels says lawyer Avenatti sued Trump for defamation without her OK
By Samuel Chamberlain | Fox News
Adult film actress Stormy Daniels says her attorney Michael Avenatti sued President Trump for defamation on her behalf without her permission.
Adult-film actress Stormy Daniels claimed Wednesday that her attorney, Michael Avenatti, sued President Trump for defamation without her approval and launched a second fundraising campaign to raise money "without my permission or even my knowledge ... and attributing words to me that I never wrote or said."
In a statement to The Daily Beast, Daniels said that "Avenatti has been a great advocate in many ways," but she added: "in other ways Michael has not treated me with the respect and deference an attorney should show to a client."
"For months I’ve asked Michael Avenatti to give me accounting information about the fund my supporters so generously donated to for my safety and legal defense," Daniels said. "He has repeatedly ignored those requests. Days ago I demanded again, repeatedly, that he tell me how the money was being spent and how much was left.
Adult film star told to pay the president's legal fees; Josh Holmes, Matt Bennett and Brian Brenberg debate the optics of the decision.
"Instead of answering me ... Michael launched another crowdfunding campaign to raise money on my behalf. I learned about it on Twitter," added Daniels, who also said that she had not yet decided if Avenatti would continue to represent her.
Avenatti responded with a statement obtained by Fox News: " I am and have always been Stormy’s biggest champion. I have personally sacrificed an enormous amount of money, time and energy toward assisting her because I believe in her. I have always been an open book with Stormy as to all aspects of her cases and she knows that. You need only look back at her numerous prior interviews where she states we talk and communicate multiple times every day about her cases.
STORMY DANIELS DEFAMATION SUIT AGAINST TRUMP TOSSED ON FIRST AMENDMENT GROUNDS
"The retention agreement Stormy signed back in February provided that she would pay me $100.00 and that any and all other monies raised via a legal fund would go toward my legal fees and costs," Avenatti went on. "Instead, the vast majority of the money raised has gone toward her security expenses and similar other expenses. The most recent campaign was simply a refresh of the prior campaign, designed to help defray some of Stormy’s expenses."
The fundraising appeal on the website CrowdJustice had raised $4,785 as of Wednesday evening. The fundraising page appeared to have been taken down after the Daily Beast published Daniels' statement. The website reported that an earlier fundraiser netted more than $580,000 for Daniels' expenses earlier this year.

Last month, a federal judge in Los Angeles threw out Daniels' defamation suit against the president, which arose from an April tweet in which Trump denied her claims of being threatened by a man in a Las Vegas parking lot in 2011. Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, claimed Daniels said the man was threatening her for going public about an alleged sexual encounter with Trump in 2006. Trump has repeatedly denied the affair took place.
As part of his ruling in the defamation suit, U.S. District Judge S. James Otero ordered Daniels to pay Trump's legal fees, which the president's attorneys estimated to be $350,000.
MUELLER'S HARDBALL FUELS TRUMP ALLIES' ANGER, RISKS BACKFIRING
Daniels initially sued Trump to invalidate the confidentiality agreement she signed days before the 2016 presidential election that prevented her from discussing a sexual encounter she said she had with Trump years before he ran for president. The confidentiality agreement included a payment of $130,000 to Daniels from Trump's then-personal attorney Michael Cohen. This past August, Cohen admitted to making payments to Daniels and another woman, Karen McDougal "at the direction" of then-candidate Trump in violation of federal campaign finance law.

Avenatti says he won't run for president in 2020
The Hill ^ | 12/04/18 | Justin Wise
Posted on 12/4/2018, 12:40:45 PM by yesthatjallen
Michael Avenatti, the attorney for adult-film actress Stormy Daniels, announced Tuesday that he will not run for president in 2020, ending speculation that he could challenge President Trump.
"After consultation with my family and at their request, I have decided not to seek the presidency of the U.S. in 2020," Avenatti said in a statement shared on Twitter.
"I do not make this decision lightly — I make it out of respect for my family. But for their concerns, I would run."
Avenatti notes that he will continue to represent Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, in her lawsuit against Trump and that he will not "rest until Trump is removed from office."

Let's hope this isn't what this countries political scene has come to. Nobody has shown me one valid qualification Avenatti has for the office of President of the U.S. He would be the democratic version of Trump...just another idiot seeking the power of the office with no concept of what the job means or requires. It's like hiring 'Bagel Boy' to run a food conglomerate.

While his porn star client is stripping in seedy clubs to make ends meet. What a dirtbag this guy is.
The court filings in Orange County, Calif., as reported by TMZ, indicate a judge has ordered Avenatti to pay his wife Lisa Storie-Avenatti $162,295 per month in child and spousal support retroactive to Jan. 1, 2018. The combined total amounts to more than $1.9 million upfront.
In addition, the judge ordered Avenatti to fork over his assets for liquidation including five luxury wristwatches – some worth $50,000 – a Frank Gehry sculpture, several pricey works of art, and a 2017 Ferrari 488 GT Spider worth about $300,000, according to the report. The judge also mandated that Avenatti’s law firm, Avenatti & Associates, transfer its interest in a 2016 Honda private jet.

Looks like the guy is screwed. According to Heavy, the 47-year-old lawyer is estimated to be worth about $20 million. This is just an estimate. He lives a pretty lavish lifestyle, with expenses of about $40,000 per month. He's also not strictly an attorney, having also competed as a professional race car driver. https://www.bustle.com/p/michael-avenattis-net-worth-shows-stormy-daniels-lawyer-has-a-colorful-past-9068843

Stormy Daniels ordered to pay President Trump $292G in legal fees
By Matt Richardson | Fox News
Congress could pass bill reducing sentences for non-violent criminals and drug offenders; Sen. Tom Cotton reacts.
Adult film star Stormy Daniels must pay President Trump $293,000 in legal fees, a judge ruled on Tuesday.
"The U.S. District Court today ordered Stormy Daniels (real name Stephanie Clifford) to pay President Trump $292,052.33 to reimburse his attorneys’ fees (75% of his total legal bill), plus an additional $1,000 in sanctions to punish Daniels for having filed a meritless lawsuit against the President designed to chill his free speech rights," Charles J. Harder, the president's legal counsel, said in a statement.
"The court’s order," Harder said, "along with the court’s prior order dismissing Stormy Daniels’ defamation case against the President, together constitute a total victory for the President, and a total defeat for Stormy Daniels in this case."
Attorneys for President Trump had asked a court earlier this month for nearly $800,000 in lawyers’ fees and penalties from Daniels for the failed defamation lawsuit against him. Harder defended more than 500 hours his firm spent that rang up a nearly $390,000 legal bill for the president and asked for an equal amount in sanctions as a deterrent against a “repeat filer or frivolous defamation cases.”
Daniels' lawyer Michael Avenatti quickly reacted, declaring the ruling wouldn't survive an appeal.
"Charles Harder and Trump deserve each other because they are both dishonest," Avenatti tweeted. "If Stormy has to pay $300k to Trump in the defamation case (which will never hold up on appeal) and Trump has to pay Stormy $1,500,000 in the NDA case (net $1,200,000 to Stormy), how is this a Trump win?"
Whoops! We couldn't access this Tweet.
Daniels alleged she had a one-night affair with Trump in 2006. She sued him earlier this year seeking to break a non-disclosure agreement she signed days before the 2016 election about the alleged affair as part of a $130,000 hush money settlement. Trump has strongly denied the affair took place.
Despite the deal to stay quiet, Daniels spoke out publicly and alleged that five years after the alleged affair she was threatened to keep quiet by a man she did not recognize in a Las Vegas parking lot. She also released a composite sketch of the mystery man.
She sued Trump for defamation after he responded to the allegation by tweeting: “A sketch years later about a nonexistent man. A total con job, playing the Fake News Media for Fools (but they know it)!”

Daniels' lawsuit against Trump was tossed out of court in October, with U.S. District Judge S. James Otero citing free-speech grounds.
"The court agrees with Mr. Trump’s argument because the tweet in question constitutes ‘rhetorical hyperbole’ normally associated with politics and public discourse in the U.S.,” Otero said at the time. “The First Amendment protects this type of rhetorical statement.”
“The ruling also states that the President is entitled to an award of his attorneys’ fees against Stormy Daniels,” Harder said in a statement to Fox News following the judge's order.

Alan Dershowitz and Michael Avenatti Exchange Low Blows on Twitter, Invoking Criminal Charges and Pedophilia

"This was not a decision we made lightly and it came only after lengthy discussion, thought and deliberation, as well as consultation with other professionals," Avenatti added. "We wish Stormy all the best."
In a tweet of her own, Daniels announced that she had retained Oklahoma-based trial attorney Clark Brewster as her personal lawyer and said he would review "all legal matters involving me."

"I anticipate Mr. Brewster will serve as my primary counsel on all legal issues," Daniels concluded.
Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, sued President Donald Trump in March 2018 over a hush-money deal that paid her $130,000 days before the 2016 election to keep silent about an alleged 2006 sexual tryst with Trump. The president has denied having an affair.
STORMY DANIELS SAYS AVENATTI SUED TRUMP FOR DEFAMATION WITHOUT HER OK
As Daniels' attorney, Avenatti became a significant presence on social media. He repeatedly attacked Trump and his then-personal attorney Michael Cohen and publicly flirted with a run for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.
The relationship between the two was not completely seamless. In November, Daniels claimed Avenatti had sued Trump for defamation without her approval. A federal judge in Los Angeles had thrown out that suit the previous month and ordered Daniels to pay Trump's legal fees, which the president's attorneys estimated to be $350,000.

Last week, the same federal judge, S. James Otero, dismissed Daniels' lawsuit seeking to void the hush-money agreement. In his ruling, Otero said the suit was irrelevant after Daniels “received exactly what she wanted” when Trump and Cohen agreed to rescind the deal.
Cohen pleaded guilty this past August to campaign finance violations for arranging the payment to Daniels. Cohen, who is scheduled to begin a three-year prison sentence later this year, says he did so at Trump's direction.

Celebrity lawyer Michael Avenatti was arrested Monday on charges that he tried to extort up to $25 million from Nike by threatening to hurt that athletic apparel giant financially with negative publicity.
Avenatti also is charged in a separate federal case out of Los Angeles, where he is accused of embezzling a client’s money “in order to pay his own expense and debts,” and of “defrauding a bank in Mississippi,” prosecutors said.

Feds seize $4.5 million Avenatti plane amid tax scandal

LOS ANGELES – Embattled lawyer Michael Avenatti was the subject of a federal warrant Wednesday that resulted in the seizure of his private jet, worth about $4.5 million.
A U.S. Attorney’s Office spokesman, Thom Mrozek, confirmed to Fox News that federal agents seized a Honda HA-420 twin-engine jet from Santa Barbara Airport about 10 a.m. after a federal judge issued a warrant.
The plane was originally scheduled to be flown Wednesday to Orange County on Avenatti's behalf, but pilots had to file a new flight plan to San Bernardino County.
MICHAEL AVENATTI LIVED LUXURY LIFE WHILE AVOIDING PAYING TAXES FOR A DECADE, SAYS FEDERAL TAX AUTHORITIES
The six-seat business jet was flown by a private contract pilot to Chino Municipal Airport, where it is being held by Threshold Aviation.
Federal court records indicated that the plane, bought on Jan. 30, 2017, was registered to Passport 420, a company co-owned by Avenatti. A government complaint obtained by Fox News said Avenatti’s wife, Lisa-Storie Avenatti, said he owned two private jets -- one through Avenatti & Associates and the other through Passport 420 -- and that each had a value of $4.5 million.

Fox News reached out to Avenatti's lawyer but received no response.
The warrant under which the plane was seized was under seal; Avenatti was accused last month of failing to pay income taxes for almost a decade despite making $18 million since 2010. Officials are also looking at his firm, which is said to have recorded $38 million in deposits but filed no tax returns.

Prosecutors did not disclose if the jet was seized to satisfy a judgment, or in connection with nonpayment of taxes.
Avenatti, who previously represented adult film star Stormy Daniels in litigation against President Trump, has also been charged with wire and bank fraud in California. And federal prosecutors in New York accused the lawyer of attempting to extort about $25 million from Nike “by threatening to use his ability to garner publicity to inflict substantial financial and reputational harm on the company if his demands were not met.”

After repeated social media attacks on Trump and his former attorney Michael Cohen, Avenatti hinted that he would consider a run for the 2020 presidential election on the Democratic ticket.

Michael Avenatti embezzled millions from paraplegic client's settlement, new 36-count indictment alleges
The indictment, which includes new charges, follows Avenatti's arrest in New York last month for allegedly trying to shake down Nike for up to $25 million.

By Tom Winter, Andrew Blankstein, Elisha Fieldstadt and Associated Press
Michael Avenatti, former attorney for Stormy Daniels, has been indicted by a federal grand jury in California on 36 counts, including embezzling from a paraplegic, court documents released Thursday show.
Avenatti, 48, faces charges of wire fraud, failure to collect and withhold payroll taxes, attempting to obstruct the IRS, failing to file tax returns, aggravated identity fraud, bank fraud and false testimony under oath during bankruptcy.
The lawyer was arrested March 25 on some of the counts, but the indictment filed by a federal grand jury late Wednesday "significantly broadens the scope of the case," according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California.
The criminal charges in the indictment "are all linked to one another because money generated from one set of crimes appears in other sets — typically in the form of payments to lull victims and to prevent Mr. Avenatti’s financial house of cards from collapsing,” said U.S. Attorney Nick Hanna.
Avenatti wouldn't comment beyond statements he made on Twitter.
"I intend to fully fight all charges and plead NOT GUILTY. I look forward to the entire truth being known as opposed to a one-sided version meant to sideline me," he wrote Thursday.
The charge involving the paraplegic client says Avenatti drained a $4 million settlement paid out to the client by Los Angeles County, using "portions of the settlement to finance his coffee business or pay personal expenses," the U.S. attorney's office statement said.
"Avenatti concealed the receipt of the settlement from Client 1 and instead gave him periodic “advances” of no more than $1,900 and paid the rent for his assisted living facility," the statement said.
Avenatti is also accused of embezzling millions of dollars from other clients, using the money to fund the purchase of a jet, his coffee business and his own legal and personal expenses.
He used some clients' money to pay previous clients he had swindled and "pay some of his law firm’s bankruptcy creditors, including the IRS," according to the U.S. attorney's office.
"Any claim that any monies due clients were mishandled is bogus nonsense. ... I look forward to proving my innocence," Avenatti wrote in a tweet, accompanied by a client's testimonial calling the lawyer "an exceptional, honest and ethical attorney."
Nineteen tax-related charges against Avenatti include accusations he has not filed personal income tax returns since 2010, and didn't file some tax returns for his two law firms. He is also accused of failing to pay more than $3 million in payroll taxes while he was the owner Global Baristas US LLC, which operated Tully’s Coffee.
"Avenatti allegedly attempted to obstruct the IRS’s efforts to collect the taxes" by lying and directing funds from credit card transactions at Tully's coffee shops to a new bank account, the U.S. attorney's office said.
The new charges follow Avenatti's arrest in New York last month for allegedly trying to shake down Nike for up to $25 million and on two counts of wire and bank fraud from Southern California, where his firm is based. Avenatti has said he expects to be cleared.
The attorney is best known for representing porn actress Stormy Daniels in lawsuits against President Donald Trump.

The charges are the latest major blow to a career that took off last year when Avenatti represented Daniels in her lawsuit to break a confidentiality agreement with Trump to stay mum about an affair they allegedly had.
Avenatti became one of Trump's leading adversaries, attacking him on cable news programs and Twitter. At one point, Avenatti even considered challenging Trump in 2020.
But in California, his business practices had come under scrutiny from the IRS and a former law partner who was owed $14 million by Avenatti and the Eagan Avenatti firm, which filed for bankruptcy.

Lawyer Avenatti made 254 TV appearances in year leading up to legal troubles, research shows
By Joseph A. Wulfsohn | Fox News
Attorney Michael Avenatti made a name for himself with his heavy presence on cable news, but a new study shows exactly how heavy that presence was in the year leading up to his current legal troubles.
The Media Research Center has determined that Avenatti made a whopping 254 television appearances over the course of a year. This, after he entered the news cycle in early 2018 as the outspoken lawyer for adult film star Stormy Daniels, who locked horns with President Trump and his former attorney Michael Cohen over an affair she claims to have had years ago with Trump.

ASSANGE ARREST DRAWS FIERCE REACTIONS ON 'THE VIEW'
Avenatti appeared most frequently on CNN, which welcomed him an astonishing 121 times. MSNBC also had a high tally, having him on 108 times. He made 24 appearances on broadcast news; 12 on ABC, seven on CBS and five on NBC.
Avenatti appeared on Fox News twice.
Roughly 70 percent of his television appearances took place between March and June of 2018 as his client’s legal battle with the president repeatedly made headlines. Later in the year, Avenatti floated a presidential run, releasing a memo of his various policy positions and making a trip to the battleground state of Iowa.

Washington Free Beacon’s David Rutz previously calculated that the lawyer earned roughly $175 million in free media.
Avenatti has since faced two rounds of indictments. In March, he was charged for attempting to extort Nike for $20 million. On Thursday, he was hit with an additional 36 indictments; he was accused of fraud, false statements, obstruction and nonpayment of taxes.

Michael Avenatti’s alleged embezzlement included payment from Heat’s Hassan Whiteside
By Des Bieler April 22, 2019
It turns out that both of Michael Avenatti’s court cases involve high-profile basketball players. Accused in one of trying to extort millions of dollars from Nike, he claimed to have damaging information on Zion Williamson, among others. Thursday brought news that his other case includes allegations that he embezzled most of the money from a $2.75 million payment made by Heat center Hassan Whiteside.
The majority of that amount was meant for Alexis Gardner, a former girlfriend of Whiteside’s who hired Avenatti to represent her in a $3 million settlement of a potential lawsuit following the end of their romantic relationship. In a court filing earlier this month, California prosecutors claimed that the high-profile attorney lied to Gardner about receiving the money and used $2.5 million of it to pay for his share of a private jet.
The filing, which detailed Avenatti’s efforts to defraud five clients of millions of dollars over several years, referred to Whiteside and Gardner as, respectively, “Individual 1” and “Client 2.” In a joint statement provided Thursday to the Los Angeles Times, they said that it was “unfortunate that something that was meant to be kept private between us is now being publicly reported.”
“We entered into a mutually agreed upon settlement more than two years ago following the end of our relationship; a settlement that reflected Alexis’ investment of time and support over a number of years as Hassan pursued a career in the NBA,” Whiteside and Gardner said in their statement, which was released by Whiteside’s agent. “ … We have both moved on amicably and wish nothing but the best for each other.”
Avenatti, 48, denied to the L.A. Times that he had done anything improper, saying in an email, “No monies were ever embezzled from anyone and I look forward to all of the relevant documents and facts being presented at trial.”
He added that “the clients complaining are a very small fraction of the thousands of clients I have serviced over my nearly 20 year career.”
One former client, in particular, helped rocket Avenatti to fame as a prominent critic of President Trump. He was representing adult-film actress Stormy Daniels, who wanted to nullify a nondisclosure agreement she signed in 2016 to hide an affair she said she had with Trump several years previously, but she and Avenatti parted ways last month.
He used his representation of Daniels to gain visibility as a frequent guest on cable news shows, and even contemplated his own run for the presidency. Avenatti will now likely be more focused now on emerging unscathed from the charges filed against him by prosecutors based in California and New York, the latter of whom have accused him of trying to extort Nike.
[Michael Avenatti threatened to send Nike stock tumbling. So far, that’s not happening.]
Avenatti was said to have threatened the sports-apparel giant with holding a news conference on the eve of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament last month, asserting that Nike had engaged in illicit attempts to direct top high school recruits to colleges partners. He wanted millions of dollars from Nike, prosecutors said, either to put him on its payroll or simply to buy his silence, but instead the company alerted the FBI.
Avenatti subsequently tweeted — before he made his account private on Thursday — that he “never intended to extort” Nike, but he went on to assert that it made payments to the families of Williamson, the Duke superstar expected to go No. 1 overall in this year’s NBA draft; Bol Bol, an Oregon player also expected to go high in the draft; and Deandre Ayton, last year’s No. 1 overall pick by the Phoenix Suns out of Arizona.
The January payment to Avenatti from Whiteside was meant to include approximately $1 million for the lawyer, plus expenses and other costs, as part of his agreed-upon share of the settlement, with Gardner set to receive a final payment of $250,000 on or around November 2020. However, according to prosecutors,Avenatti “falsely represented” to her that the formal arrangement called for Whiteside to make an initial lump-sum payment that would only cover his end, followed by 96 monthly payments to Gardner over the next eight years.
Rather than alert Gardner immediately to the money she had coming to her, as required by California law, Avenatti was accused of concealing his receipt of the $2.75 million and transferring almost all of it to an attorney trust account for another law firm and then on to the company selling the private jet. Avenatti allegedly transferred the remaining amount to an account he controlled and proceeded to make 11 payments to Gardner, totaling $194,000, between March 2017 and June 2018.
After he stopped making those payments, prosecutors said, Avenatti “falsely represented” to Gardner last month that Whiteside “was not complying with the settlement agreement,” and that she would “soon be receiving a payment” from the 29-year-old NBA player to make up for the monthly allotments.
Avenatti told the Times that Gardner received from him “far more than $194,000 and we will prove it at trial.” He added, “We paid living expenses and other expenses for a long period of time as well.”
In a 36-count indictment, California authorities alleged that Avenatti ran a similar scheme with other clients, including a paraplegic man whose $4 million settlement from Los Angeles County was diverted to the lawyer’s personal use, such as a racing-car team he owned. According to the Times, if convicted on all charges in both the California and New York cases, Avenatti would face a maximum of 382 years in prison.

Michael Avenatti Pleads Not Guilty to 36-Count Indictment
Michael Avenatti—who was indicted on 36 charges last month including fraud, tax dodging, and embezzlement—pleaded not guilty on Monday morning in Santa Ana, California. Just two weeks before the 48-year-old was charged in the 36-count indictment, federal prosecutors in New York and California also alleged that the one-time lawyer for adult film star Stormy Daniels attempted to extort millions of dollars from Nike, Inc., forced tax returns to defraud a bank, and stole from clients. Avenatti became a household name when he represented Daniels against President Trump, becoming a vocal critic of the president and even briefly floating a 2020 presidential run. “We don’t convict someone in America based on a one-sided argument and a press conference,” Avenatti wrote in a statement he posted on Twitter. “Even when he is one of the biggest enemies of the president and his son.”

Michael Avenatti indicted on charges of defrauding ex-client Stormy Daniels, identity theft
By Samuel Chamberlain | Fox News
Feds charge Michael Avenatti with fraud, aggravated identity theft involving former client Stormy Daniels; Jacqui Heinrich reports from New York.
Embattled attorney Michael Avenatti was charged by federal prosecutors in New York Wednesday with defrauding adult-film star Stormy Daniels, the client who propelled Avenatti into the national spotlight.
Avenatti, 48, faces one count of wire fraud and one count of aggravated identity theft. He faces up to 22 years in prison if convicted of those charges. Daniels is not named in the indictment, but a federal law enforcement official confirmed to Fox News that she is the client prosecutors claimed Avenatti defrauded.
Avenatti rocketed to fame representing Daniels when she sued to be released from a non-disclosure agreement involving an alleged tryst with President Trump in 2006. He parlayed his notoriety into numerous cable news appearances and even was floated as a potential Democratic presidential candidate in 2020.
According to prosecutors, Avenatti stole "a significant portion" of an advance Daniels was supposed to receive from a book deal in the summer of 2018 by sending a doctored letter with Daniels' signature to her literary agent that instructed the agent to divert the money to an account controlled by Avenatti. The lawyer then spent the money -- $148,750 -- "on airfare, hotels, car services, restaurants and meal delivery, online retailers, payroll for his law firm and another business he owned, and insurance."
The indictment said that after Daniels asked Avenatti why she had not received the money, Avenatti falsely claimed he was still trying to extract the payment from the publisher. Weeks later, the lawyer allegedly "used funds recently received from another source" to pay Daniels the money she was owed.
Embattled attorney Michael Avenatti speaks to reporters after a pre-trial hearing in Santa Ana, Calif.
"Michael Avenatti abused and violated the core duty of an attorney – the duty to his client," Manhattan U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman said in a statement. "As alleged, he used his position of trust to steal an advance on the client’s book deal. As alleged, he blatantly lied to and stole from his client to maintain his extravagant lifestyle, including to pay for, among other things, a monthly car payment on a Ferrari. Far from zealously representing his client, Avenatti, as alleged, instead engaged in outright deception and theft, victimizing rather than advocating for his client."
In an emailed statement to Fox News, Avenatti said: "I look forward to a jury hearing all of the evidence and passing judgment on my conduct. At no time was any money misappropriated or mishandled. I will be fully exonerated once the relevant emails, contracts, text messages, and documents are presented."
Avenatti also tweeted a defense of his conduct toward Daniels, writing: "No monies relating to Ms. Daniels were ever misappropriated or mishandled. She received millions of dollars worth of legal services and we spent huge sums in expenses. She directly paid only $100.00 for all that she received. I look forward to a jury hearing the evidence."
Prosecutors on Wednesday also formally indicted Avenatti on charges that he tried to extort up to $25 million from Nike by threatening to expose claims that the shoemaker paid off high school basketball players to steer them to Nike-sponsored colleges. Avenatti also has been facing a multi-count federal indictment in Los Angeles alleging that he stole millions of dollars from clients, didn't pay taxes, committed bank fraud and lied during bankruptcy proceedings.
Avenatti has denied the allegations against him on both coasts, saying he expects to be exonerated. The Los Angeles charges alone carry a potential penalty of more than 300 years in prison, while he could face over 60 years behind bars on the New York charges.
Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, initially raised concerns about Avenatti's conduct in November when she claimed he'd launched a fundraising effort to raise money for her legal case without telling her. She also said he had filed a defamation lawsuit against Trump, on her behalf, against her wishes.
"For months I've asked Michael Avenatti to give me accounting information about the fund my supporters so generously donated to for my safety and legal defense. He has repeatedly ignored those requests," she said at the time. "Days ago I demanded again, repeatedly, that he tell me how the money was being spent and how much was left. Instead of answering me, without my permission or even my knowledge Michael launched another crowdfunding campaign to raise money on my behalf. I learned about it on Twitter."
At the time, Avenatti responded that he was still Daniels "biggest champion." He said that under his retention agreement, he was entitled to keep all the money he raised for her legal defense to defray what he said were substantial costs of her case.
According to investigators, Avenatti reached a multi-million dollar settlement deal with Hassan Whiteside, but only gave his client $194,000 and spent the rest on a private jet; reaction from former federal prosecutor Alex Little.
He repeated that statement on social media Wednesday, tweeting: "I look forward to a jury hearing all of the evidence and passing judgment on my conduct. At no time was any money misappropriated or mishandled. I will be fully exonerated once the relevant emails, contracts, text messages, and documents are presented. I was entitled to any monies retained per my agreement with the client. My agreement for representation and compensation included a percentage of any book proceeds."
The defamation case initiated by Avenatti against Trump backfired, with a judge ordering her to pay the president's legal bills.
When Avenatti was first charged with defrauding other clients and extorting Nike in March, Daniels said she was "saddened but not shocked," adding on Twitter that she had fired Avenatti a month earlier after "discovering that he had dealt with me extremely dishonestly." At the time, she did not elaborate.

In Summary
THE CHARGES AGAINST AVENATTI
CALIFORNIA
10 counts of wire fraud
Avenatti allegedly committed wire fraud by lying to five clients about their settlements from cases he represented them in.
The total sum of the money he allegedly misappropriated is $12million.
He is accused of not only hiding their payments from them but spending the money himself on private planes, repaying the IRS and funding his own businesses between 2015 and 2017.
19 counts of tax fraud
Avenatti has not filed personal income tax returns since 2010, it is claimed.
Between 2015 and 2017, his coffee company Global Baristas US, did not pay $3.2million in federal payroll taxes.
More than $2million of that figure was withheld from staff pay checks and spent by Avenatti himself, it is alleged.
2 counts of bank fraud
The two bank fraud charges relate to the original indictment and claims he submitted bogus financial information to obtain three loans totaling $4.1 million from The People’s Bank in Mississippi.
The bogus information included a tax return that had never been sent to the IRS and him overstating his law firm's resources when it was on the brink of bankruptcy.
One said his firm, Eagan Avenatti, had more than $500,000 in an operating account when it only had $43,000, it is claimed.
4 counts bankruptcy fraud
Three of the bankruptcy fraud charges allege that Avenatti submitted, under penalty of perjury, monthly operating reports that failed to report all of the firm’s accounts receivable in 2017.
Avenatti is charged with falsely testifying under oath during a June 2017 bankruptcy hearing by denying the firm had received any fees related to a lawsuit when Eagan Avenatti had actually received more than $1.3 million
New York case 1
Conspiracy to commit extortion
Avenatti allegedly attempted to extort Nike by saying he had information which incriminated it in a pay-for-play college basketball scandal this year.
He allegedly told the company that he would conduct an internal investigation for a $25million fee instead of exposing it.
Nike reported him.
New York case 2
Charged with misappropriating funds belonging to the ex adult film star Stormy Daniels to the tune of nearly $300,000.

Why was he treated so differently to Stone? Stone's home was raided by over a dozen paramilitary armed agents with CNN watching, yet Avenatti was arrested by 4 agents in a particularly quiet and discreet manner.
That’s when four F.B.I. agents surrounded him. “Michael Avenatti?” one asked. “Yes,” he responded. “F.B.I.,” they told him. “You’re under arrest.” The agents pulled him aside to the entrance of a store. They took his briefcase and his cell phone before pulling a large trench coat around his shoulders so they could handcuff him discreetly. “I told them I appreciated the fact that I wasn’t treated like Roger Stone,” Avenatti told me, “and that CNN was not outside waiting for me.” One of the officers laughed. “I said of course that’s because hopefully I’ve shown your office and law enforcement a lot more respect over the last 14 months.” The agents managed to hustle him out of the mall without being noticed, a remarkable feat in the smartphone era and the year of Avenatti, and let him wait in a hidden alcove while the car that would take him to be booked pulled around.

Michael Avenatti's bad day: Disgraced lawyer to face not 1, but 2 arraignments
By Samuel Chamberlain | Fox News
Avenatti became a household name thanks in no small part to his endless exposure on CNN and MSNBC; Fox News media analyst Howard Kurtz reports.
Embattled attorney Michael Avenatti will have a busy day in Manhattan federal court Tuesday afternoon -- but as a defendant, not as counsel.
Avenatti, 49, is scheduled to be arraigned on charges that he stole nearly $300,000 from adult film actress Stormy Daniels, the client who rocketed him to national prominence. Approximately three-and-a-half hours later, Avenatti is scheduled to be arraigned on charges that he tried to extort up to $25 million from athletic apparel giant Nike by threatening to expose claims that the shoemaker paid off high school basketball players to steer them to Nike-sponsored colleges.
In the Nike case, Avenatti is charged with one count of extortion, one count of sending interstate communications with intent to extort and two counts of conspiracy. In the Stormy Daniels case, he is charged with one count of wire fraud and one count of aggravated identity theft. If convicted on all counts, Avenatti could face a total of 69 years in prison.
MICHAEL AVENATTI INDICTED ON CHARGES OF DEFRAUDING EX-CLIENT STORMY DANIELS, IDENTITY THEFT
Avenatti repeatedly has denied any wrongdoing and is expected to plead not guilty to all charges. He initially was arrested on March 25 at a New York law firm where he had scheduled a meeting with Nike executives.
Six days earlier, prosecutors said, Avenatti and a co-conspirator identified by several news outlets as celebrity attorney Mark Geragos met with attorneys for Nike on March 19 and "threatened to release damaging information" if the company did not agree to make multi-million dollar payments to them, as well as an additional $1.5 million payment to a California youth basketball coach Avenatti claimed to represent.
Lawyer charged with stealing $300,000 from Stormy Daniels.
According to the government, Avenatti threatened to hold a news conference on the eve of Nike's quarterly earnings call and the start of the NCAA tournament to announce allegations of misconduct by Nike employees, at one point telling Nike's lawyers he would "take ten billion dollars off your client's market cap... I'm not f---ing around."
MICHAEL AVENATTI ACCUSED OF TRYING TO EXTORT NIKE FOR UP TO $25M, FEDS SAY
Avenatti was indicted formally in the Nike matter this past Wednesday. That same day, prosecutors indicted him in the Daniels case, in which they claimed Avenatti stole two payments totaling $297,500 from an advance Daniels was supposed to receive from a book deal in the summer of 2018.
Court documents said Avenatti gave Daniels' literary agent a doctored letter with her signature directing the agent to divert the money to an account controlled by Avenatti. The lawyer then allegedly spent the money "on airfare, hotels, car services, restaurants and meal delivery, online retailers, payroll for his law firm and another business he owned, and insurance."
Feds charge Michael Avenatti with fraud, aggravated identity theft involving former client Stormy Daniels; Jacqui Heinrich reports from New York.
The indictment said that after Daniels asked Avenatti why she had not received the first payment, Avenatti falsely claimed he was still trying to extract the money from the publisher. Weeks later, the lawyer allegedly "used funds recently received from another source" to pay Daniels the amount she was owed -- $148,750.
MICHAEL AVENATTI PLEADS NOT GUILTY IN FEDERAL WIRE FRAUD, BANK FRAUD CASE
Soon after, prosecutors said Avennatti received another payment of $148,750 from Daniels' agent and used the money on personal expenses, including a lease payment on a Ferrari. When Daniels asked for the remaining money, Avenatti allegedly misled her to believe that the book's publisher was refusing to pay the amount to Daniels' literary agent.
Avenatti's legal issues have been daunting, but his troubles are not limited to New York.
In March, federal prosecutors in Southern California accused Avenatti of committing bank fraud and wire fraud by embezzling settlement money from five clients, including a paraplegic man, to pay personal expenses and debts — as well as those of his coffee business and law firm.

According to U.S. Attorney Nick Hanna, Avenatti also obtained $4.1 million in loans from a Mississippi bank by using fraudulent tax returns stating he made more than $14 million between 2011 and 2013 and had paid more than $1 million in estimated taxes to the IRS in 2012 and 2013. In fact, investigators said, Avenatti owed the IRS $850,438 plus interest and penalties for the years 2009 and 2010, paid no personal income taxes for 2011, 2012 and 2013 and paid no estimated taxes in 2012 and 2013.
If convicted of all 36 counts in the California case, Avenatti faces up to 335 years in prison.

Biden rips off Avenatti with ‘let's make America America again’ slogan
By Alex Pappas | Fox News
Former Vice President Biden references Charlottesville and morality in speech to supporters in Iowa; reaction and analysis from 'Special Report' anchor Bret Baier.
Former Vice President Joe Biden was applauded Tuesday by Democrats in Iowa when he slammed President Trump with his own twist on the president’s famous campaign slogan.
“He says, ‘let's make America great again,’” Biden said of Trump in Ottumwa. “Let's make America America again.”
BIDEN ENDORSED BY MICHAEL AVENATTI AFTER LAUNCHING 2020 BID: 'HE HAS MY ENTHUSIASTIC SUPPORT'
Turns out, that’s not the first time voters have heard that line: Michael Avenatti, the anti-Trump lawyer who briefly promoted a possible Democratic presidential run of his own this year before being indicted on multiple charges, repeatedly used that same slogan in public remarks as he pushed back against Trump.
Avenatti on Tuesday tweeted, "Since I won't be using it, I’m happy @JoeBiden is using 'Let’s Make America America Again.' Because it's a damn good slogan and message."
Avenatti most recently used the line – in endorsing Biden for president in April.
“I am extremely happy that @JoeBiden has decided to enter the race,” Avenatti tweeted at the time. “He offers Dems the very best chance in 2020, especially in key states. He has the fight, intelligence and fortitude to beat Trump and begin to make America, America again. He has my enthusiastic support."
He also used the line during a 2018 BBC interview, prompting Newsweek to ask in a headline if the “make America America again” line would be Avenatti’s campaign slogan.
"I'm here to send a loud and clear message that there are millions of Americans that want to make America America again," Avenatti said last year in London.
Avenatti also tweeted the line in 2018, saying, “We must fight fire with fire and we must send a message that we will fight to make America America again.”
And Avenatti used it as the closing line in his speech at the Iowa Wing Day dinner in August 2018, saying, “above all else, we will make America America again.”
The Trump campaign on Tuesday mocked Biden over his use of the phrase. Both Trump and Biden are in Iowa Tuesday holding dueling political events.
“No word yet on whether Biden will start borrowing ‘Basta!’ as well,” Trump campaign deputy communications director Matt Wolking said Tuesday, referring to the hashtag Avenatti often used on Twitter.
Fox News has requested comment from the Biden campaign.
Biden last week faced criticism after it was revealed that his campaign lifted passages from numerous other sources in the initial version of its climate change plan. Citations were later added, with the campaign describing the initial version as a mistake.

Paraplegic Ex-Client Sues Celebrity Attorney Michael Avenatti, Accusing Him of Keeping Settlement Money
A paraplegic man previously represented by Michael Avenatti has filed a lawsuit alleging the embattled lawyer failed to pay him millions he was due in a settlement with Los Angeles County. Geoffrey Johnson filed the lawsuit Tuesday against Avenatti and his former associates. It claims they neglected to pay him after the county cut a $4 million check in 2015 in a settlement over severe injuries he suffered in Sheriff's Department custody.
Johnson, who became paraplegic following a suicide attempt in jail where he said authorities failed to address his mental health needs and where he was assaulted, said Avenatti told him he would be paid once a trust had been established.
Instead, Avenatti began sending him monthly checks ranging from $900 to $1,900 to purportedly front him some money, said Daniel J. Callahan, Johnson's new lawyer. Johnson learned he was duped earlier this year when Avenatti was charged in federal court with bank and wire fraud, Callahan said.

Michael Avenatti wants Stormy Daniels' money from Ohio strip club settlement
Oct. 3, 2019
Attorney Michael Avenatti has filed court papers demanding the $450,000 settlement won by former client Stormy Daniels in her lawsuit against the Columbus, Ohio, police department.
Avenatti, who represented the adult film actress in legal action against Donald Trump, filed a lien claim in an Ohio federal court Wednesday that says Daniels owes him more than $2,000,000 for legal services, costs and expenses.
In September, Daniels settled her lawsuit over her arrest last year at a Columbus strip club. Police arrested Daniels on July 11, 2018, at the Sirens Gentlemen's Club on misdemeanor charges of inappropriately touching customers. The charges were quickly dropped.
In return for $450,000, Daniels agreed to drop all claims made in her federal civil complaint against the city, according to her attorney, Chase Mallory, and a spokeswoman for Columbus City Attorney Zach Klein.
In a statement provided through her lawyer, Daniels said, "Oh look! We have more nonsense from Michael Avenatti, a desperate and sad little man. His claim that I owe him fees is as fraudulent as his conduct outlined by the federal indictments against him in three federal courts. ... Avenatti did very little as a lawyer lawyer and mostly engaged in medial self promotion and aggrandizement."
Avenatti filed a lawsuit on behalf of Daniels in March 2018, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, to invalidate a 2016 non-disclosure agreement regarding an alleged 2006 affair with Donald Trump. Trump has denied having an affair with Daniels, but his former lawyer Michael Cohen pleaded guilty to a campaign violation for arranging hush money payments during the closing days of the 2016 presidential race.
Avenatti also represented Daniels in a defamation suit against Trump. The suit was dismissed and Daniels was ordered to pay Trump's legal fees. Daniels later said Avenatti had initiated the suit against her wishes.
In 2019, federal prosecutors in New York charged Avenatti with extortion for allegedly attempting to obtain $25 million from Nike founder Phil Knight, and with embezzling money from Daniels. Federal prosecutors in California charged Avenatti with wire fraud and bank fraud and alleged he had embezzled from a client.
Daniels and Avenatti ended their professional relationship earlier this year.
In his lien filing, Avenatti said, "Despite repeated demands that Ms. Daniels fulfill her contractual obligations and pay for the millions of dollars in legal fees and costs she has enjoyed for her benefit over the last approximate 19 months, including in this case, she has refused."
Daniel's attorney Mallory did not immediately respond to request for comment.

Bombastic barrister Michael Avenatti facing new indictment for Nike ‘shakedown’

Prosecutors slapped trash-talking attorney Michael Avenatti with a new charge Wednesday for his alleged shakedown of Nike while also reducing the legal risk for celeb lawyer Mark Geragos, who is implicated in the case.
The new indictment filed in Manhattan Federal Court eliminated conspiracy charges against Avenatti, who is accused of attempting to extort the shoe giant for more than $20 million or he’d go public with claims the company secretly paid college basketball prospects.
Avenatti and Geragos were representing Gary Franklin Sr., a prominent figure in the youth basketball world, when prosecutors say Avenatti crossed the line from legal advocate to criminal.
A conspiracy charge requires an agreement with a second person, raising the possibility that Geragos was the other person involved in the alleged extortion plot. But in the new indictment, prosecutors replaced two conspiracy charges with an honest services fraud charge against Avenatti. The evidence in the case remains the same.
You don’t have to go far to run into secondhand smoke these days. It’s practically everywhere and that’s no coincidence.
“I’ll go take $10 billion off your client’s market cap… I’m not f-----g around,” Avenatti told Nike lawyers on March 20, according to a criminal complaint.
[More New York] Manhattan lawyer sentenced to jail for leaking secret documents to client said prosecutor is engaged in ‘theatrics’ »
Avenatti, 48, demanded Nike hire him and Geragos to conduct an internal investigation paying up to $25 million, the complaint reads.
Avenatti has pleaded not guilty and said he’s the victim of “vindictive prosecution” due to his criticism of President Trump. As part of his defense, Avenatti seeks to introduce evidence of Nike payments to college basketball players.
Geragos, a Los Angeles-based attorney who has represented celebrities including Winona Ryder, Kesha, Colin Kaepernick and Michael Jackson, did not respond to an email. He has not been charged.
“I am extremely pleased that the two counts alleging I engaged in a conspiracy against Nike have just been dismissed by Trump’s DOJ. I expect to be fully exonerated when it is all said and done,” Avenatti tweeted.
A trial is set for January.
Avenatti is separately charged in Manhattan with stealing $300,000 from a book deal made by his former client, porn star Stormy Daniels, who claims to have had an affair with Trump. Avenatti became famous in large part through his aggressive representation of Daniels.
The bulldog lawyer is also charged in Los Angeles with ripping off clients, failing to pay taxes, bank fraud and lying during bankruptcy proceedings.

The bulldog lawyer is also charged in Los Angeles with ripping off clients, failing to pay taxes, bank fraud and lying during bankruptcy proceedings.

If that were to happen, I'd become an Independent or if necessary God forbid) a Republican to be able to vote to defeat him.
NO THE DEMOCRATS CAN NOT SIGN HIM UP to do anything including cleaning the toilets in the Senate or House bathrooms or at the Minneapolis–Saint Paul International Airport where Republican United States Senator from Idaho, Larry Craig was once arrested for lewd conduct "Craig stated ... He has a wide stance when going to the bathroom and that his foot may have touched mine." ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Judge denies Michael Avenatti’s request to toss out charges
With a trial approaching, a judge denied a request Monday from attorney Michael Avenatti to toss out charges alleging he tried to extort up to $25 million from Nike by threatening to muddy its name.
U.S. District Judge Paul G. Gardephe said in a written ruling that the indictment adequately alleges that “Avenatti used threats of economic and reputational harm to demand millions of dollars from Nike,” though it will be up to a jury to decide if prosecutors can prove criminal intent.
Avenatti responded to the ruling by saying trials are “about actual evidence, not naked allegations from only one side.”

Avenatti arrested by IRS agents during California Bar Association hearing
Attorney Michael Avenatti was arrested by Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agents Tuesday evening during a break in a disciplinary hearing in Los Angeles over allegations that the high-profile lawyer scammed a client out of $840,000.
The arrest occurred around 6 p.m. outside the State Bar Court, where the State Bar of California has initiated proceedings against him.
“I can confirm that he was arrested by federal agents," Avenatti's lawyer Dean Steward said. "I anticipate a bail hearing at 2 p.m. tomorrow in Magistrate's Court in Santa Ana. I haven't seen the details of the warrant, but should have it later this evening.“
Avenatti did not return to the court when the hearing resumed. His attorneys called for a sidebar with the judge and said he would not be able to return due to circumstances related to a criminal matter in Orange County.
The former lawyer for Stormy Daniels is accused of fraud, cheating on his taxes and lying to investigators. Federal prosecutors allege that he embezzled funds from clients. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Thom Mrozek, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney's Office in Los Angeles, told Fox News that Avenatti was arrested on suspicion of violating his pre-trial release.

Avenatti allegedly took settlement money from football fans
Disgraced attorney Michael Avenatti is accused of stealing money from dozens more clients than previously known, according to newly unsealed documents and recent interviews with Fox News.
It’s alleged that Avenatti, currently behind bars awaiting trial in New York on unrelated charges, directed up to $1.3 million in settlement funds – intended for approximately 170 clients – to cover his own expenses. It’s the latest example of alleged malfeasance by the lawyer who was once a fixture on cable news and flirted with a presidential run.
“We didn’t receive any of that,” Donald Albaugh, one of Avenatti’s clients, said by phone Monday. Albaugh said he and his wife, Tracy, went to the 2011 Super Bowl in Dallas but, like hundreds of other ticket holders, had problems with their seats and sued the NFL.
“The whole thing is so ludicrous,” Arianne Dar told Fox News about taking her son to the game as a graduation present. Dar said she made sure to buy tickets that were not “obstructed view” but they ended up behind a metal pole. “I never heard about a settlement."

He looks like a gloriously youthful person who is so visually striking that if you saw him in person, you'd be blown away. His features appear to be almost perfectly symmetrical and proportional. He's a white man with pale blue/green eyes and light flawless skin. He's masculine in terms of his facial structure and physical build. The only flaw I see is that he is too perfect, which sometimes translates to being pretty...a term best saved for females.
Being handsome is great. But, it isn't enough. What else does he have going on? Does he have substance? Is he intelligent? Is he interesting? Does he have a good sense of humor? Is he compassionate? Is he romantic? Is he a winner? Is he sexual?
I've met people who were so beautiful or handsome that at first that's all you saw about them. Once they started talking and you looked deeper, you were let down because you realized their good looks were all there was positive about them. They were just a beautiful storefront on an outhouse. You cannot judge a book by its cover.
For his sake, I hope he's got more going for himself than just how well he photographs.

When he's called "Trump's biggest nightmare" and "the man who is going to save us", they are definitely taking him seriously.
In reality it was just another false hope that would end the administration instead of letting the people decide.

Admittedly, I didn't catch every interview and I don't care enough about this to watch all the clips.

I'm also probably coming to this conclusion because of my own assessment of Avenatti. To me, he was a creep from the onset. Nothing that has happened lately with him surprises me. The who Stormy Daniels thing was a joke. As much as I don't like Trump, I could care less if he slept with an aging porn actress who was looking for publicity or not.

Stelter: Was I Stupid to Take Avenatti Seriously as Possible 2020 Candidate?

David Rutz - FEBRUARY 16, 2020 1:10 PM
CNN media correspondent Brian Stelter asked his Reliable Sources guests Sunday if he was "stupid" to take disgraced attorney Michael Avenatti seriously as a possible 2020 presidential candidate.
Avenatti, who was found guilty this week of trying to extort up to $25 million from Nike, was a media darling in 2018, making hundreds of television appearances as he promoted client Stormy Daniels's litigation against President Donald Trump. He used his newfound fame to flirt with a presidential run, and Stelter told him during one Reliable Sources appearance that he took his potential candidacy seriously because of his presence on cable news.
On Sunday, Stelter told Daily Beast reporters Lachlan Markay and Asawin Suebsaeng that he got "grief" for that remark.
David Rutz breaks down the most important news about the enemies of freedom, here and around the world, in this comprehensive morning newsletter.
"Give me a media critique," Stelter said. "Was that stupid on my part? What do you make of how Avenatti was covered by CNN and MSNBC?"
Markay said Trump had succeeded at times in "Trumpifying" his opposition, allowing his foes to buy into conspiracy theories and get taken in by shady figures like Avenatti.
"By virtue of granting that, they were being played by that very strategy, his ability to manipulate the media," Markay said.
ADVERTISING
Stelter was hardly alone in boosting Avenatti. Panelists on MSNBC's Deadline: White House said the political novice should be given attention as a possible 2020 hopeful because he was a "fighter." Pundits called him a "beast," the "savior of the republic," and an "existential threat to the Trump presidency."
Avenatti constantly promised news nuggets that would bring down the president and promised several times Trump would not serve out his first term in office. It was not uncommon to see Avenatti on multiple programs in a single day.
In one two-month span, he earned $175 million in free media from CNN and MSNBC alone. He also made appearances on Today, CBS This Morning, Good Morning America, The View, Real Time with Bill Maher, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, The Circus, and other shows outside of cable.
However, his reputation began to fall apart when he was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence in November 2018. The charges were later dropped, but Daniels's lawsuit against Trump failed and the former porn star eventually accused Avenatti of stealing $300,000 from her.
In 2019, he was indicted in California and New York for multiple financial crimes, including tax evasion, fraud, and embezzlement.
Vanity Fair, which reported in 2018 on Avenatti's style and skincare routine, published a story in 2019 alleging he physically abused his ex-girlfriend and terrorized media figures behind the scenes.

Judge won’t release Avenatti over coronavirus fears
Politico ^ | 3/22/2020 | JOSH GERSTEIN
Posted on 3/23/2020, 12:10:48 PM by Excuse_My_Bellicosity
A federal judge in Los Angeles has rejected a plea from prominent convicted lawyer Michael Avenatti to be released from jail because of the risk he could contract the coronavirus.
U.S. District Court Judge James Selna turned aside Avenatti’s claims that a bout he had with pneumonia last September puts him in grave danger if COVID-19 begins to rampage through federal prisons like the Manhattan detention center where he’s currently locked up.
Avenatti, who was convicted by a New York federal court jury last month on charges of trying to extort shoemaking giant Nike and is facing other federal charges in Manhattan and Los Angeles, also contended that his cellmate was recently removed after exhibiting fever and a severe cough.
But Selna, who revoked Avenatti’s bail in January based on evidence of extensive financial manipulation, said the health concerns were not adequate to justify his release.
“The Court is mindful of the Covid 19 pandemic,” Selna wrote in a three-page order Saturday. “The Court accepts Avenatti’s showing that the had pneumonia about six months ago. ... However, there is no showing that his cellmate was infected by the virus, and there have been no reportedcases of Covid 19 at the New York MCC.”
“There is no basis to release Avenatti on medical grounds,” added Selna, an appointee of President George W. Bush. “The Bureau of Prisons and MCC specifically have taken substantial steps to mitigate the effects of the pandemic. MCC has moved ‘at-risk’ prisoners, which presumably includes Avenatti, to a separate unit.”
Avenatti rose to prominence in 2018 after filing a suit against President Donald Trump on behalf of adult film star Stormy Daniels, seeking to void a non-disclosure agreement the pair reached just prior to the 2016 election — a deal that appeared intended to hush up claims she and Trump had sex a decade earlier. Avenatti became a fixture on cable news shows and briefly mulled entering the 2020 Democratic presidential race.
However, Avenatti and Daniels had an acrimonious relationship, with the porn star eventually switching to another lawyer last year. One of the three pending criminal cases against Avenatti involves charges he swindled Daniels out of nearly $300,000.
Federal prosecutors opposed Avenatti’s recent request for release, arguing that his risk of infection is “minimal and entirely manageable.”
“Defendant … has not cited any information or evidence demonstrating that defendant, who is an otherwise healthy 49-year man, is at greater risk from COVID-19 merely because he may have had pneumonia six months ago,” government lawyers wrote. “Thus, there is no reason to conclude that defendant’s personal circumstances are meaningfully distinguishable from the vast majority of individuals detained in BOP facilities or would justify the extraordinary relief he now seeks.”
The prosecution also said Avenatti’s history indicated that the California resident was not only likely to defy court orders, but also the statewide lockdown ordered by Gov. Gavin Newsom.
“A person who ignores such admonitions and rules could increase infection rates, leading to severe illness and death. Defendant has shown an unwillingness or inability to follow rules, and a disregard for the welfare of others. Thus, defendant’s failure to follow rules poses particular dangers to the community,” prosecutors wrote.
Documents submitted by the government said officials at the Manhattan detention center where Avenatti is located have taken numerous steps to limit the risk of a COVID-19 outbreak, including screening prisoners and staff for fevers, distributing more soap and segregating most prisoners over 55.
However, H. Dean Steward, a lawyer for Avenatti, said the conditions at the lower-Manhattan jail known as the MCC are deplorable and are inviting a major COVID outbreak.
"Mr. Avenatti’ s cell contained three rats," Steward wrote. "Inmates on one unit were forced to share one toilet among 26 people, and prevented from washing their clothing: prime conditions for the spread, rather than containment, of infectious disease."
The federal Bureau of Prisons reported its first confirmed case of novel coronavirus Saturday, involving an inmate at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. Two staff members at BOP facilities in Kansas and Texas have also been stricken by the illness.
Avenatti’s trial in the New York case involving stealing from Daniels is set to open April 21, but the judge handling that matter said last week it seemed “highly doubtful” it would go forward then due to virus-related suspensions of most proceedings in federal courts nationwide.
Avenatti’s trial on fraud, perjury, tax dodging, and embezzlement charges in the Los Angeles case is scheduled for May 19, but Selna said that will likely be postponed as well.
Avenatti's sentencing on the Nike extortion charges is set for June 17.

This request is typical Avenatti behavior. Unless someone is lying, there currently is no COVID-19 cases at the facility. If there were, he might have a valid argument, having so recently been stricken with pneumonia. Once you have pneumonia you are more susceptible to re-occurrences. If he followed his doctor's advice, he's likely had a pneumonia shot.
At this point, I've not read if the pneumonia shot is effective against COVID-19 related pneumonia. However, being someone who as a result of many instances of pneumonia throughout my life, have a pneumonia shot each year. So far, it has prevented any repeats. In fact, since I've done this, I've not even had a cold. If Avenatti has not had a pneumonia shot, he should insist he be able to get one. This might do more to help prevent him becoming sick with COVID-19 that being released would.

;D
In the early days of the Trump presidency, Michael Avenatti emerged as the #resistance’s most recognizable grifter. CNN takes the primary responsibility for turning him into a star, practically attempting to deify the man. One analysis from the Media Research Center found that the network gave him 74 appearances in a 10-week period – and he had many more than that.
Host Brian Stelter now-infamously declared that Avenatti could be a challenger to President Donald Trump in 2020. They weren’t the only ones. “Michael Avenatti Is Winning the 2020 Democratic Primary” read one headline in Politico.
Elsewhere on The View, host Ana Navarro compared him to the holy spirit.

U.S. urges 'very substantial' prison term for Michael Avenatti over Nike extortion

By Jonathan Stempel
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The once high-flying California lawyer Michael Avenatti deserves a "very substantial" prison sentence for trying to extort millions of dollars from Nike Inc, U.S. prosecutors told a judge.
The Wednesday night recommendation came one week after Avenatti's lawyers said their client should spend no more than six months behind bars plus one year of home confinement.
U.S. District Judge Paul Gardephe is scheduled to sentence Avenatti on June 30 in Manhattan.
Probation officers recommend eight years in prison for Avenatti, and prosecutors said federal guidelines recommend more than 11 years.
Lawyers for Avenatti did not immediately respond on Thursday to requests for comment.
Avenatti, 50, became famous in 2018 when he represented adult film actress Stormy Daniels in lawsuits against then-U.S. President Donald Trump.
He was convicted of threatening to publicly accuse Nike of secretly paying families of college basketball prospects unless it paid him and another lawyer up to $25 million for a probe and his client, youth basketball coach Gary Franklin, $1.5 million.
Jurors also convicted Avenatti of defrauding Franklin by not telling him he wouldn't settle without a probe.
Avenatti "betrayed his client and sought to enrich himself by weaponizing his public profile," prosecutors said. "This was an egregious abuse of trust."
In letters to Gardephe, Nike maintained that Avenatti's accusations were false, while Franklin said Avenatti's actions "destroyed my reputation in my community."
Avenatti's lawyers have said their client has suffered enough during his "epic fall and public shaming," including three months in a Manhattan jail and ridicule by Trump and the former president's media supporters.
They also said a recurrence was impossible because Avenatti would never again practice law.
Avenatti was convicted in February 2020.
He still faces two trials in California on charges he stole millions of dollars from clients and committed tax and bank fraud, and another trial in Manhattan for allegedly defrauding Daniels out of money from a book contract.
Avenatti has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Greenwald nailed it:
https://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/1414952362222006273
"It's stunning how the networks who put Michael Avenatti on over and over and over and over and depicted him as the Nation's Conscience and even hyped him as a serious presidential contender have all but ignored his prison sentence and multiple other pending felony trials.
And as usual, the standard elite self-exoneration of "we-couldn't-have-known" is utter bullshit. Aside from the fact that the stench of Avenatti's sleazy fraud suffocated anyone within a mile radius, countless people pointed out at the time how exploitative and dishonest he was.
Avenatti is nowhere close to the worst person promoted by CNN and NBC. They have security state ghouls, perjurers and war criminals on their payroll -- Bush and Obama's CIA & DHS chiefs, FBI officials, etc. Still, if you can't recognize what Avenatti is, you can't see anything."

I'm surprised he has the nerve to show his face after Tucker Carlson turned him into rhetorical sushi last week:
Hilarious - TC tells him he won't call him names or hurl insults, but every time he talks there's a headline that says "Creepy Porn Lawyer mulling 2020 run".
I just watched this clip again. The bylines were friggin hilarious. Avenatti had no idea. lol ;D
But now with the benefit of hindsight, everything Tucker said about him was true.
This interview also highlighted some of the hypocrisy taking place today. Tucker played a clip of Avenatti saying what Russia did during the 2016 election was akin to them putting 100,000 troops on our border. That Russian crap was a "Big Lie." The hypocrisy is staggering.

Hmmm. His lawyers didn't get him off in the Nike extortion case. He probably doesn't trust an attorney other than himself. But you no what they say about representing oneself in court. "A man who is his own lawyer has a fool for a client." Technically he should not be allowed to be his own attorney. He was disbarred and has been ineligible to practice law in California since May 4, 2020. Judge Jesse Furman initially said he would deny any motion by Avenatti to represent himself. Later he granted Avenatti's request.

How dare you call him "my boy"! I thought he was a fake and a scoundrel when he first came onto the scene and started appearing in the media almost daily. It was never clear to me whether the media was sucking up to him or using him to boost their ratings. He said he was exploring a run for the presidency in 2018. I doubt anyone took him seriously. I also doubt he would have been nominated.

All of a sudden he is "sorry".
Avenatti, facing sentencing, apologizes to Stormy Daniels
Convicted California lawyer Michael Avenatti wants leniency at sentencing for defrauding former client Stormy Daniels of hundreds of thousands of dollars, his lawyers say, citing a letter in which he told Daniels: “I am truly sorry.”
The emailed letter, dated May 13, was included in a submission his lawyers made late Thursday in Manhattan federal court in advance of a June 2 sentencing.
Avenatti, 51, should face no more than three years in prison for his latest conviction, or 4 1/2 years in all, because two convictions have destroyed his life, the lawyers said.
“This sobering reality is as sufficient and powerful a punishment and deterrence as any. Worse, Mr. Avenatti’s extreme rise and fall played out on the most public of platforms, an experience he is unlikely to ever recover from reputationally,” they said.
Last year, Avenatti was sentenced to 2 1/2 years in prison for trying to extort up to $25 million from Nike by threatening to tarnish its reputation with claims that the sportswear giant was immersed in a college basketball recruiting scandal in which cash payouts were used to steer top-tier athletes to the best programs.
Then he was convicted by a jury this year for pocketing up to $300,000 of an $800,000 payout to Daniels for her autobiography, spending some of the money on his firm's payroll and personal expenses.

Michael Avenatti sentenced to 4 years in prison for defrauding Stormy Daniels
Disgraced attorney Michael Avenatti was sentenced to four years in prison Thursday for cheating his former client, adult film star Stormy Daniels, out of $300,000.
Avenatti was convicted of aggravated identity fraud and wire fraud in New York federal court earlier this year. He faced up to two years in prison for the former, and 20 for the latter.
Of the four years, 30 months will be served concurrently with the 2 1/2-year sentence he was previously given in a separate case for trying to extort Nike out of $25 million.
Avenatti spoke for 12 minutes at the sentencing, acknowledging the "series of mistakes" and "poor judgment" he exercised.
"I will forever be branded ‘disgraced lawyer’ and worse," he said.

Michael Avenatti to plead guilty in remaining criminal cases
Michael Avenatti, the former lawyer for porn star Stormy Daniels, has reportedly decided to plead guilty in the remaining criminal cases against him. Avenatti is charged with 36 counts of fraud, embezzlement, perjury, failure to pay taxes, and other financial-related crimes.
In a filing before a federal judge in Southern California on Sunday, Avenatti said he wanted to change his plea guilty, setting in motion the end of his criminal litigation.
Avenatti was sentenced Thursday to four years in prison for stealing book proceeds from his former client, Stormy Daniels, the porn actress who catapulted him to fame as during her legal battles with then-President Trump. The California lawyer, currently incarcerated, learned his fate in Manhattan federal court, where Judge Jesse M. Furman said the sentence will mean that Avenatti will spend another 2 1/2 years in prison on top of the 2 1/2 years he is already serving after another fraud conviction.
Avenatti’s additional 36 counts of fraud could potentially have him serving many more years in prison.

CNN’s favorite anti-Trump lawyer just pled guilty to 5 more charges, could get up to 83 years in prison…
JUN. 16, 2022 BY THE RIGHT SCOOP
CNN’s favorite anti-Trump lawyer, Michael Avenatti, how was just convicted for defrauding Stormy Daniels, has just pled guilty to five more criminal charges that could land him 83 years in prison if he gets the maximum sentence:
Via Fox News:
Michael Avenatti, the former lawyer for Stormy Daniels, a porn star, pleaded guilty to five criminal charges in federal court on Thursday.
Avenatti pleaded guilty to four counts of wire fraud from defrauding clients as well as one tax-related charge during a court hearing in Santa Ana, California. He faces a maximum sentence of 83 years in prison.
The lawyer, who is representing himself, failed to reach a deal with federal prosecutors earlier in the week but decided to change his plea in an effort to hold himself accountable and avoid any further embarrassment to his family.
He admitted to obstructing and impeding efforts by the Internal Revenue Service to collect unpaid payroll taxes, which add up to $5 million.
In addition to the five criminal charges Avenatti pleaded guilty to on Thursday, he could also face an additional 31 counts depending on if the government wants to pursue those. A decision on the remaining 31 counts is expected next week.
Avenatti’s sentencing date will be in mid-September if the government opts not to pursue the remaining 31 counts.
He will be forced to pay fines in excess of $1 million and restitution which the government says is $14 million.
The hearing was delayed on Thursday morning while Avenatti met with his appointed counsel, then told the judge that he’s “prepared to plead guilty to five counts this morning.”
Avenatti is serving five years in a federal prison in California for two convictions handed down in New York in relation to stealing book proceeds from Daniels.
He was also convicted of attempting to extort Nike if it didn’t pay him up to $25 million.
In a previous filing on June 12, Avenatti’s lawyer said that a plea deal was unable to be reached with the government.
Boy have the walls closed in on Avenatti and I feel zero sympathy for him. He did this to himself.
Seriously, this guy was the biggest swindler of them all and even joined the bandwagon to try and lynch Kavanaugh with phony rape accusations. He even tried to run for president with all of this dirty baggage.
I doubt he’ll get 83 years but it looks like he’s going to spend a long time in prison. Good.
