California Prosecutors: Michael Avenatti to be Indicted on 36 Counts

The Department of Justice and Internal Revenue Service on Thursday will announce a 36-count grand jury indictment filing against disgraced television lawyer Michael Avenatti.

The agencies will discuss the indictment at a press conference at 9:00 a.m. local time, a joint statement reads.

The announcement comes after Avenatti appeared in a Santa Ana courtroom April 1 after being charged with filing false tax returns to secure $4 million in bank loans and withholding $1.6 million from a client.

After a court appearance Monday, Avenatti said he’s long represented “Davids versus Goliaths” in the same justice system in which he now faces charges.

The attorney known for representing porn actress Stormy Daniels in legal battles against President Donald Trump is accused of fraudulently obtaining bank loans and pocketing funds belonging to a client.

Avenatti waived his right to a preliminary hearing in federal court in Santa Ana. He’s scheduled to be arraigned April 29, but his lawyer says he may seek a waiver so his attorneys can appear on his behalf.

The new charges follow Avenatti’s arrest in New York last month for allegedly trying to shake down Nike for up to $25 million and on two counts of wire and bank fraud from Southern California, where his firm is based. Avenatti has said he expects to be cleared.

I hope that scumball fries.

Is it any wonder many common folk do not trust lawyers?

You have to have either a tiny brain or giant balls (perhaps both) to not just lie low when you are committing these kinds of crimes. Instead this moron thrusts himself into the limelight. It's like speeding with 100 lbs of meth in your backseat in plain view. Dumb.

And if convicted on all accounts, he'll spend 335 years in prison, and I hope he is convicted. This shyster is one greasy rat turd. Can't stand to look at him.

Thus ends, for the most part, another quest for a presidential nomination - not that he stood a ghost of a chance.
