Attorneys for Michael Cohen are asking a federal judge to block adult film star Stormy Daniels's attorney Michael Avenatti from a case involving an FBI raid of Cohen's home and office last month.

In court papers filed on Friday, Cohen's attorneys accused Michael Avenatti of creating a "carnival atmosphere" in legal proceedings involving Cohen, pointing to his numerous television appearances in recent months.

"Mr. Avenatti's deliberate public dissemination of confidential nonpublic information speaks to his character and lack of fitness to appear before this Court - as well as his craving to create a 'carnival atmosphere,'" the filing reads.

"Mr. Avenatti has appeared on national television and made statements regarding Mr. Cohen 147 times over the past ten weeks, and many of these statements concerned nonpublic information and misrepresentations regarding Mr. Cohen," it continues.

8. It remains to be seen....

if Avenatti made any statements that "concerned nonpublic information and misrepresentations regarding Mr. Cohen". That's what a trial is all about.

What next, the Judge must disregard all evidence in the case because it's prejudicial to Mr. Cohen? It sounds like Cohen's attorneys are just about as competent and knowledgeable as himself.
