Who is paying Michael Avenatti?
By Mark Penn, opinion contributor — 05/10/18 11:00 AM EDT

So exactly who is paying Michael Avenatti? And is he a lawyer, an opposition researcher, a journalist or a campaign operative?

He wants to make the discussion all about where Michael Cohen, President Trump’s personal attorney, got his money but, to have clean hands, Avenatti needs to come forward with exactly who is financing his operation, who his sources were for detailed banking information, and whether he really is an attorney solely representing Stormy Daniels or just using her as cover to wage a political operation.

From the beginning, this has been fishy. Daniels's previous lawyer advised her to stick to her agreements. In contrast, Avenatti OK'd her violating with impunity her nondisclosure agreement on “60 Minutes” despite a binding arbitration judgment against her. She has acknowledged on Twitter that she is not paying for her lawyer. So who is? And did he indemnify her against all multimillion-dollar penalties?

Well, he is a real lawyer and unlike Michael Cohen, he graduated from a real law school.

I imagine Avenatti is a male version of Gloria Allred.  Definitely a publicity hound and maybe there are some Democrat connections.  But this article, in the end, just throws around a lot of rumor and suspicion without really proving anything.   A really worthless screed.

It sure isn't the porn "star" he's representing.
