Yesterday, I reminded y’all about Avenatti’s “Resistance Rally.”
I am excited to announce that I will be leading a large resistance rally in Texas at the exact same time of Trump’s (details tba). All groups are welcome to join. We must fight fire with fire and we must send a message that we will fight to make America America again. #Basta

Um… Whatever happened to that?
Well, Avenatti had other “commitments.”
NEW – What became of this resistance rally? @MichaelAvenatti tells me the Oct. 22 date announced by the Trump campaign, with only a week's notice, conflicted with his schedule and prevented him from holding the counter-rally. He adds, "It's Beto's show because it's his race." https://t.co/cQJynxv99T

According to Law & Crime:
Attorney Michael Avenatti suffered a loss in court on Monday in a case where he was the defendant and not merely an advocate. Avenatti had been sued by former law partner Jason Frank, who claimed that he failed to make good on a previous settlement agreement.
Frank claimed that when he worked with Avenatti’s former firm Eagan Avenatti, he had an independent contractor arrangement that said he would receive 25% of the firm’s annual profits and 20% of his client’s fees. Frank said he was also supposed to get copies of the firm’s tax returns and other financial records. His lawsuit, filed in May of this year, alleged that the firm didn’t provide the records, misstated what their profits were, and didn’t pay him the amount due to him. In February 2016 he filed a demand to go to arbitration, and resigned from the firm months later.
The two sides eventually reached a settlement agreement, whereby the firm would pay Frank $4.85 million, but Frank sued when he did not receive any payment by the deadline set in the agreement.
At the time the lawsuit was filed, Avenatti told Law&Crime that it was “Frivolous and baseless.”
Apparently the court did not agree.
BAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
As if we needed ANY more proof that Avenatti is a LYING SCUMBAG!
Did he see this coming?

Womp WOOOOOOMP!
It gets better… that’s not the ONLY case he lost today:
Eagan Avenatti had another legal battle on Monday, which it lost. The firm was evicted from their California office space due to an alleged $213,253 in unpaid rent.
