Avenatti’s longtime law firm, Eagan Avenatti, skipped $213,254 in rent payments due over four months, leading the landlord, the Irvine Co., to sue for eviction.

The process for getting the search warrant for Cohen’s office started long before Avenatti appeared. Getting a warrant to search a lawyers office takes a great of time and DOJ sign off

Still seemed like no one believed a person like him could get the nomination in the early stages.

And people also said anyone who thought Doug Jones would win the AL special election was 'delusional.'

My guess is, what people say is more often than not, empty and absurd narrative.

I certainly learned my lesson about making those sorts of declarative predictions after getting that one completely wrong.

At least I hope I did!

More nonsense, this time relating to an “eviction.” First, it’s not even my current firm. Second, they were already in the process of moving so they didn’t need to be “evicted.” The right is so intent on eliminating me as a threat, they will do and say anything.#Garbage

Why exactly did he not move out then, rather than not paying rent?

16. Avenatti's other firm owns his "old" firm.
Sat Nov 17, 2018, 12:22 PM
Nov 2018

"Avenatti told The Los Angeles Times on Monday that he no longer owns Eagan Avenatti, even though he recently told a bankruptcy court judge that his other firm, Avenatti & Associates, had taken on full equity of Eagan Avenatti. He also told reporters on Monday that Frank instead owed him millions for "fraud" he committed. Avenatti hasn't pursued any legal case against Frank's alleged wrongdoing. "

It seems like the walls are finally closing in.

I wonder if Republicans will finally start to abandon him en masse or stick with him to the bitter end.

Either way, the future looks bright for the Democratic Party.

Here is Stormy Daniel's client engagement agreement:

Original is included in this court filing:

So, no, it was in fact one of the entities through which Avenatti contracted with Daniels.

You were lied to.
