... I guess she's tired of people trashing him over stupid crap.

if you can be divorced from your spouse and still think well of him or her, that speaks volumes about the spouse.
The RW hate Avenatti and continue to drag him down with lies because he's been so outspoken about the Idiot and his minions.
I have nothing but respect for the man. While i know many don't like his showboating and view some of his comments as controversial, nothing he has said so far is enough to make me think unfavorably of him.

dittohead teabag death threats.

Michael Avenatti is the reason Cohen is singing like Pavarotti - that's good enough for me.
Thank you Michael.

Avenatti was a catalyst .....I liked his in your face style...

Avenatti sure made it public

It was blisteringly obvious in papers that had been filed in the Cohen prosecution by the government, which expressly referred to ongoing investigative work that had begun long before the April raid. I've been pointing that out for quite a number of months in relation to papers filed in the Cohen case.

Avenatti "making it public" accomplished nothing of consequence as far as the prosecution of Cohen was concerned. In fact, John Fry, the IRS agent who Avenatti foolishly put up to illegally obtaining Cohen's banking records (and finding out that several were already protected in the database as a result of the ongoing criminal prosecution of Cohen) is going to jail for it.

People who trusted Avenatti:

1. Stormy Daniels - now owes Trump $293K in legal fees, has fired Avenatti, and said he wasn't pursuing her interests.

2. John Fry - going to jail for illegally obtaining Cohens bank records which the FBI already had, for Avenatti to glorify himself.

3. Mareli Minuitti - Avenatti's girlfriend who received $30,000 from Avenatti's client trust account and still has a restraining order against him after their breakup over her payments from the trust account (and his recent false claim that she was a client, in order to justify those payments)

Avenatti is an irresponsible self-aggrandizing clown who hurts, betrays, or swindles everyone with whom he does business.

At least Shera Bechard has been able to recover $12,500 in attorney's fees from him so far after Avenatti screwed her out of the rest of the money that Broidy owed her.

You know who certainly knew this before today?

Avenatti certainly knew it. And he's been lying about it to you the entire time.

self-aggrandizing clowns who hurts, betrays, or swindle everyone with whom they do business.

As long as they help expose these monsters in office, I'm OK

for at least a year before Avenatti filed the Daniels lawsuit.

- forget which program - they were talking about how Mueller was interested originally in Essential Consulting LLC, the one Cohen used for the Clifford/Daniels payments, but also used for the Novartis, AT&T and payments from the firm linked to Viktor Vekselberg, the Russian oligarch. There was no interest from Mueller/SCO in campaign finance violations, instead the SCO was looking how Essential Consulting was linked to payments from Russia/Russians and/or used to influence US policy. It was only when SCO handed a "portion" of its original investigation off to SDNY that SDNY independently began investigating the campaign finance related crimes. The MSNBC host asked specifically if it was the case that SDNY was the office that found, then prosecuted the campaign finance/hush money payments and the guest answered "yes" that was correct.

that Avenatti made it national news and that has hastened the unraveling of the lunatic

unraveling the relationship between Cohen and the cretin.

home and office and then he was talking about the singing rat

just need to accept him as he is and what he was 'sent' to do ...we ain't electing him as a patron saint or something. He was perfect for this 'job'.

Unless he turns out to be a raging scumbag I'll always have some love for him.

Well, that's what Stormy Daniels has to say about him now.

You should have a look at what Avenatti did to his client Gregory Barela.

So, you don't think that paying his live-in girlfriend out of his client trust account (and then lying about her status as a client) qualifies? That's what the argument was about, and its why she still has a restraining order against him.

How about pocketing the money he collected from his PAC which didn't support a single candidate?

He didn't "hasten" jack shit in the Cohen investigation, and he quite possibly burned the possibility of Cohen actively cooperating with the prosecution to get more goods on Trump by shining a public spotlight on things that Mueller and the SDNY already knew about.

The deification of this con artist is disgusting.

DU did this with Assange, Snowden, Manning, and a bunch of others who turned out to be something quite different from what they initially presented themselves to be.

He had nothing to do with the prosecution or flipping of Cohen.

He ended up saddling Stormy Daniels with a $293k judgment against her.

I gather we are throwing her under the bus now that she has finally figured out he wasn't working for her best interests?

Seriously, what was the "job"? What positive contribution did Avenatti make to anything or anyone?

Making people who watch TV shows feel good?

rump and Cohen's love affair went south....now ain't that sumthin.

...all kinds of things happened after Avenatti began trying to get his own television show. That doesn't mean he is responsible for any of them.

Their "love affair went south" after Cohen negotiated a plea deal with the SDNY prosecutors. That had nothing to do with anything involving Avenatti.

Avenatti's carnival barker act began in March of last year. Just what is the timeline you are suggesting, and what is the chain of cause and effect which would not have occurred but for any identifiable action Avenatti undertook?

And, to be clear, whether or not Avenatti was doing anything in the best interests of his client Stormy Daniels is entirely beside the point, yes?

His new job is attacking democratic candidates. I guess we're all down with that "job" too, eh?

find out what he's up to I'll be sure to check in with you since you seem to be keeping quite the tabs on him.

On my list of things to care about right now...yeah this is pretty far down on the list if at all.

Hope he destroys that little snot.

That twirp needs to be put away and Avenatti is the man to do it...

That's outright psychotic.

anymore.

$300K in attorneys' fees like Avenatti managed to do in Stormy Daniels' case.

and the local might exercise some appropriate judgment.

The real estate agent's actual legal claims are very limited here. Minnesota does not have the sort of publicity/privacy protections that, say, California does, and the opportunity for recovery, even under a tenuous claim of false light publicity, would be extremely low. The real estate agent might (or might not) own the copyright in the photograph, which appears may be a selfie. So, assuming he registers the copyright, then he could get an injunction against its future use, but it is unlikely to have significant commercial value.

This is the "someone did something that upset me and I want to sue" kind of suit. Being star-struck and egged on by a media figure like Avenatti will make the "morning after" feel worse, once Wohl's lawyers decide to go digging into the guy's past on any reputation-based claims.

He's a guy who's been involved somewhat with the Prince estate, but he's a relative rookie (admitted in 2011).

came out of the woodwork, so a bank was appointed to manage the estate until the claims could be sorted out, but that bank and its lawyers have been generous with themselves. I live in Minneapolis, and I've followed the saturation coverage of the whole mess in the local media. https://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2018/04/15/prince-estate-heirs/

There are still purple balloons on the fence around Paisley Park. Prince was a demigod around here.

might not be much better than Avenatti. http://www.mncourts.gov/mncourtsgov/media/CIOMediaLibrary/Documents/Redacted-Memo-in-Opp-to-Wheaton-and-Bruntjen-s-Mot-for-Approval-of-Payment.pdf I am familiar with the law firm that submitted this memorandum. They have a very solid reputation locally.

Oh, look, the court fined him: http://www.mncourts.gov/mncourtsgov/media/High-Profile-Cases/10-PR-16-46/Re-Bruntjen-Documents-Filed-under-Seal.pdf

who will act as his real lawyer, since Avenatti isn't licensed to practice law in Minnesota. Avenatti will probably be his TV lawyer. http://www.citypages.com/news/minneapolis-man-suing-jacob-wohl-for-allegedly-using-his-photo-in-fake-twitter-threat/507300961 Interestingly, Bruntjen was sued by Prince's half-brother, who claimed Bruntjen stole money from him from a bridge loan pending the settlement of Prince's estate. The case was voluntarily dismissed. https://theblast.com/prince-brother-sues-lawyer/

because he had the ability to change the right wing narratives.

And I wish the idolization of this guy would stop. He's not all that; he's a loud but not very skilled lawyer who managed to stick Stormy Daniels with a $300K bill for attorneys' fees she has to pay Trump because Avenatti didn't do his legal research when he sued Trump on her behalf for defamation. Nobody's afraid of him and he'll be lucky to keep his law license since he's been fiddling with his attorney trust accounts.

Mueller was similarly lionized, must be the saying, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. The only problem with that is the other part, the enemy of my enemy is not always my friend.

and there are powerful forces working against him because he's so effective

I don't know if he's being pressured by some group to stay on the down low, but I think he should come back all guns blazing.

I understand how he could make some Democrats nervous. Too brash, Too bold. But sorry, I'm sick of Dems careful dotting of the I's and crossing all the T's, counting to 100, checking in with the top dogs first for approval, and carefully parsing their words so much that all the sting is whittled away.

He is also a talented lawyer taking on good causes.

He's been using his attorney trust accounts to pay personal and business debts and hide assets from bankruptcy creditors. That's the sort of thing that gets lawyers disbarred. He also dicked up the Stormy Daniels case so badly that Daniels now owes Trump $300K in attorneys' fees. I wouldn't hire him to defend me in traffic court.

prove me wrong.

I’ll bet former clients like Julie Swetnick are upset that people continue to make up stories to serve one sided agendas.

Which makes him okay with me.

Grifting lawyers who use their clients for their own purposes are not my friends regardless of their political affiliations. If they claim to be Democrats they are just embarrassing.
