Michael Avenatti Bars Media from His Own Testimony in Bankruptcy Court

Michael Avenatti, the lawyer for porn star Stormy Daniels who has become a constant critic of President Donald Trump on cable news, barred the media from his testimony in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Santa Ana, California, on Wednesday, citing attempts to "embarrass" him.
Nah, lil' dude ... you have embarrassed yourself by being a tax scofflaw ... you just want to limit the attention to that undeniable FACT.
Avenatti, who settled with the Internal Revenue Service for $800,000 in unpaid payroll taxes, also asked Judge Catherine E. Bauer to seal the transcript of the court proceeding. Bauer granted his request to bar the media from the proceeding, but has not yet ruled on the motion to seal the transcript.
Avenatti told CNN: "I'm all for freedom of the press and open access. But everything has its limits. My personal financial dealings and that of an old law firm are of no relevance and, you know, were not going to be leveraged by other people who are trying to get famous and take advantage of the situation."
Ironically, Avenatti has been on a crusade to expose what he says are the personal financial dealings between President Donald Trump and his client, as well as the privileged conversations between Trump and his former lawyer, Michael Cohen.
As the Los Angeles Times noted, Avenatti's Newport Beach-based law firm, Eagan Avenatti, had "defaulted on millions of dollars in debt and fallen years behind in paying its payroll taxes." He was subpoenaed to testify by a former employee, Jason Frank, who won a $10 million judgment against the firm that remains unpaid.
Hmmm ... maybe Avenatti can arrange for Jason Frank to get $10 million worth of blow-jobs from Stormy Daniels, eh? Nah, on second thought, that won't work ... based on her fair market value, you can't get 10 million blow-jobs in a man's lifetime. Never mind.
The Times noted the irony of Avenatti's position "[a]fter months of demanding transparency from President Trump on his alleged affair with porn star Stormy Daniels."
It added: "For weeks, he has been demanding that the president's former lawyer Michael Cohen 'come clean' and release tapes and documents involving the payment of $130,000 to Daniels in return for her silence about an alleged one-night stand with Trump in 2006." ...
Avenatti = Pathetic HYPOCRITE
