This guy is unreal. He’s only been on the case for a few months. Stormy has made money off of it with her personal appearance fees increasing, yet the half a million he’s raised is already running short? Is he kidding? First of all, the lawyer isn’t paid off unless and until he collects in a case like this. All that anyone should have to pay for is minimal expenses. Not the expenses of him flying to television appearances or hyping his profile.
Via Daily Caller:
Michael Avenatti is in desperate need of cash, or so he says. The lawyer representing porn star Stormy Daniels in her lawsuit to be released from her non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with Michael Cohen, President Donald Trump’s personal attorney, is asking the public to donate more money to help aid in the case to cover expenses and “security costs” for him and Daniels.
“We are short of our goal and need some help,” Avenatti tweeted, even though the pair have already raised more than $550,000 toward their goal of $850,000.
This promises to be a very busy week but our effort does not run itself. There are numerous expenses associated with cases like this and here, security costs alone are astronomical. We are short of our goal and need some help. Please go to https://t.co/lEHuXf9Ydk#Basta

According to the post on “Crowd Justice,” the site the pair are using to raise the funds, Daniels, whose real name is Stephanie Clifford, said, “I am attempting to speak honestly and openly to the American people about my relationship with now President Donald Trump, as well as the intimidation and tactics that he, together with his attorney Michael Cohen, have used to silence me.”
