Stormy Daniels’s Lawyer Sought Help From Democrats in Fight With Trump
The New York Times ^ | June 1, 2018 | Kenneth P. Vogel

Posted on 06/01/2018 12:31:48 PM PDT by detective

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.

Mr. Brock’s groups decided not to donate to the efforts because they saw little value in spending money on a legal fight that was largely being waged in the news media, especially given Mr. Avenatti’s penchant for attracting press coverage, according to two Democratic political operatives familiar with the discussions.

The NYT makes a big deal out of reporting that Brock and his Clinton controlled money turned down Avenatti.

Avenatti is bankrupt. Stormy is not paying him. His source of funds is secret.

Maybe his case is backfiring and the Democrats want to pretend they did not finance him. Maybe they don't want to give him any more money. They want to pretend that they never backed him.

“Brock and his Clinton controlled money”
I think that should read “Soros controlled money”

The FACT remains....Brock considered it.

I hope Avenatti rots in hell.

Stephanie Clifford, the pornographic film actress who says she had a sexual encounter with President Trump,

Glad the NYT was able to get that right in the first line.

I don’t think Stormy had much money to spend. This will all chill now, and Stormy’s real job will be pole dancing around Gentlemen’s clubs now. In five years, she’ll be some coffee shop waitress in Tulsa.

What is the “legal fight”?

Is there a crime alleged, or even imagined, here?

I imagine it would be difficult for the Dems to come up with any legal money to pay him.

I do know that my cleaning lady, Clara Clifford, discovered that Claud Cooper from Cleveland had copped my Clean Copper Clappers from the closet.

If I catch him, I’ll clobber him.

Her 15 minutes of fame are just about up.
She is 40 years old, her melons are sagging
and her Sleezy lawyer is bankrupt.
Not turning out like she and her lawyer thought.
