[Weatherman2020]

The Left loved this guy. He was going to bring down Trump ANY DAY NOW!

According to a legal filing submitted to the Manhattan Federal Court Tuesday, Avenatti was at least $15 million in debt when he allegedly attempted to wring over $20 million from Nike, the trial over which is set to begin next month.

"The Government does not intend to argue that the defendant was wealthy (and the evidence shows that he was not)," reads the filing, as reported by the New York Daily News.

"The Government expects that the evidence at trial will show that, at the time of his charged conduct, the defendant was in significant debt," Assistant U.S. Attorney Matthew Podolksy explained in the filing. "Specifically, the Government presently estimates that the defendant’s debts at that time were, conservatively, in excess of $15 million."

Prosecutors: Here’s Why Michael Avenatti Was Desperate Enough To Extort Nike; Avenatti: ‘Ludicrous’

FYI:
At the height of his "Trump slayer" hype in 2018, Avenatti appeared on MSNBC and CNN 108 times over a 64-day period (March 7 though May 10), according to a study by the Washington Free Beacon, which the outlet calculated amounted to nearly $175 million in earned media time.

They too need to be held accountable. They are not journalists.
