Michael Avenatti Appears to Have Used PAC as Personal Slush Fund
The Washington Free Beacon ^ | 26 March 2019 | Joe Schoffstall

Embattled Democratic lawyer Michael Avenatti, who on Monday was arrested for an extortion plot involving Nike and was separately alleged to embezzle client money while falsifying tax returns, appears to have used a political action committee that he established to help liberal candidates as a personal slush fund, Federal Election Commission filings show.

Avenatti launched his PAC, the Fight PAC, last summer as he was contemplating a presidential run to help Democratic candidates with "the size and presence to really fight back and advocate for a position of strength as opposed to weakness."

CPL should have taken the 130 grand from Trump and left it at that.

It’s looking more and more like the CPL may live out a good portion of his remaining life with the benefit of free room and board courtesy of a federal correctional facility.

If so he’ll no doubt figure out a scam on the inside to make his pitiful life easier.

He is lower than a snake’s belly, as the old expression goes. And to think he wanted to be president. The Democrat party sure offers us gems for presidential candidates. One is more rotten than the next.

Bimbos at MSNBC fawned over Avenatti ... stupid women - compromised and vile. Same reason they believed the thug Smollett. They'll fall for the next lie, the next thug, the next poser.
