Stormy Daniels’s Lawyer Sought Help From Democrats in Fight With Trump

[Free Vulcan]

WASHINGTON — Michael Avenatti, the lawyer for Stephanie Clifford, the pornographic film actress who says she had a sexual encounter with President Trump, has sought help for his legal battle against Mr. Trump from leading Democratic operatives.

Mr. Avenatti contacted an official in the network of liberal groups led by David Brock, while someone associated with Mr. Avenatti’s law firm was in touch with two people connected to major Democratic donors, according to people familiar with the conversations. But the discussions do not appear to have led to any financial help for the high-profile legal and public relations fight being waged by Mr. Avenatti and Ms. Clifford, whose stage name is Stormy Daniels.

Avenatti works for the DNC. He has been their hatchet man for years. Of course he is doing this.

In the meantime, let's conveniently ignore that Cohen was a volunteer for the Dukakis campaign, worked as an intern for a Massachusetts Democratic congressman, and voted for Obama in 2008.  He was a Republican for a hot second in the early 2000s for a failed run, went back to Dem, and only became a Rep again in March 2017.

Consider that Trump's two most high-profile attorneys have been the soon to be indicted Cohen and the boy lover Cohn, who died of AIDS.  Both are/were crooked as hell, engaged in all manner of corrupt schemes on behalf of their employer.

Whatever occurs in all this mess and by whoever's hand, it will not have happened to a nicer bunch of shit bags.
