But wait - there's MORE!

"At the hearing, the U.S. Justice Department revealed that Avenatti has also defaulted on just over $440,000 in back taxes, penalties and interest that he had personally promised to pay the Internal Revenue Service under another bankruptcy settlement for his law firm."

"Assistant U.S. Atty. Najah Shariff told the judge that the federal government would soon file a motion demanding payment."

Why doesn't the IRS just raid his house and offices with a SWAT team like they would do to me if I defaulted on a half-million dollars in taxes?

Oh wait, that's right, some animals are more equal than others...

Been reading a lot of stories on Mr. Avenatti and he seems to be heavy on brash talk, pretty lean on legal expertise.

Not sure what Avenatti’s win-loss record is, but a lawsuit he filed against Jim Carrey was dismissed in Feb 2018. https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/people/2018/02/01/lawsuit-against-jim-carrey-ex-girlfriends-family-dismissed/1087667001/

Mixed metaphors? Should be "lie down with dogs, wake up with fleas."

I’m surprised that Trump is not commenting on this story so CNN can get crapped upon.....

CNN’s hero is a crook.. Who’d a thunk!

Not to worry - the massive legal fees he's going to get from Stormy will make up for it all.

But, of course (snorrrk!) I could be wrong about that...

Hey you buttered your bread, you can lie in it.

Of course, we will burn that bridge when we come to it.

Time to get Michael Avenatti to tell who paid him $8 million to take the Stormy case against Trump.

Don't be shocked, however, when he's able to crowdfund the money needed in short order.

Just like Jill Stein was able to rake in millions on her recount racket, the Left will be throwing money at this guy. They love him. They think he'll bring down Trump. With Schneiderman gone, Avenatti is their new "Plan B" should the Mueller investigation flame out.

I sure that if anyone from Free Republic owed several hundred thousand dollars to the IRS that they would be treated with the utmost courtesy and gentleness.
