WaExaminer: Attorneys for Michael Avenatti revealed that the lawyer can no longer afford his legal counsel ahead of his criminal trials set to take place later this year.
Lawyer Dean Steward filed a motion in federal court on Saturday asking the judge to approve taxpayer funding to stay on as Avenatti’s attorney under regulations that assist indigent clients. Steward argued that receiving taxpayer funding would be a cheaper alternative for the federal government than having Avenatti switch to a public defender, who would have to restart the cases.
“The bottom line is that Mr. Avenatti has run out of funds, and faces a complex trial lasting as long as six weeks,” Steward wrote. more
This guy is so full of ‘obama’ that he can’t tell his anus from his mouth when he craps.
Lock him up and throw away the key.
Biden-Avenetti in 2020!
Mikey, how’s that preezie campaign going?
Uh hell no. He can get a public defender like anyone else broke. Taxpayers shouldn’t have to foot the bill for this loser to have a top notch defense. He is going down anyway, federal cases are 98% or more won by prosecution.
Why doesn’t he get it from his ex-wife?
He hasn’t filed a single tax return since 2009 so who knows how much money he has or where it’s hidden. I’d love to read the financial disclosure he’ll have to submit to qualify for a public defender.
Just lose him somewhere in the Amazon. That’s even cheaper.
He has money. It just isn’t in bank accounts with his name on it like the rest of us have to do.
Hey Michael, go steal more money from your clients.
He’s a snake. The guy’s go to be lying. He’s got hidden money, let him use that.
Somebody loan me a dime.
Just remember this is the filthy piece of busted-ass shit that the Complicit Bought & Paid For, Knee-Pad Media and Hollywood Liberals were slobbering all over!!
Tells ya everything you need to know about ’em doesn’t it?
Public defender just like all the other broke ass criminals or he could just plead guilty to save time and money.
Bend over and earn your jail cigarettes the old way you fucking scumbag!
Could not have happened to a more deserving guy.
Hey, creepy porn lawyer… get Mumia Abu-Jamal to defend you from his prison cell. You know, Zoom and Skype your way into Hell.
Put him in Epstein’s cell, that’ll fix him.
or a window to throw it out of.
Why not have CNN pay for it, he was one of their favorite choices for the Dim Presidential Candidate a couple of years back.
The government uses your unlimited tax money to prosecute you, and you need to pay out-of-pocket for your own defense, even if you are innocent.
I say, if the government is going to charge you with anything, they are also on the hook for your legal bills. Loser pays.
I would rather he get a public defender even if it cost the government more in the long run.
It’s more than he deserves!
all his sexual fantasies involve handcuffs……i guess he found heaven in prison
