Stormy Daniels blasts Trump's 'staggering' request for nearly $350,000 in legal fees
cnbc ^ | November 6, 2018 | Kevin Breuninger

Porn star Stormy Daniels asked a federal judge to drastically reduce President Donald Trump's demand for nearly $350,000 in attorney's fees in her recently dismissed defamation suit.

Daniels' lawyer, Michael Avenatti, argued that the $341,559.50 requested for an alleged 509.25 hours of attorney time is a "staggering and grossly inflated sum."

The proper figure is closer to $25,000, Avenatti said in the court filing Monday in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles.

The skank will have to expand her act beyond just pole dances and stripping. She'll have do $5 lap dances in between... and if she can't do enough of those, she can take on all comers in the alleyway and parking lot after the shows.

I’ll bet Avenatti didn’t properly warn her of the downsides of this b.s. She assumed she could just skate through..... I’m only disappointed that the legal bill on Trump’s side is any less than $1 million for “Stormy” to pay, ha ha. I guess she will be doing a lot more lap dances than she had bargained for....

"A few more pole and lap dances, and some more nude photos shoots, and she’ll have that bill paid."

Doubtful. Granny porn isn't that lucrative these days.

Holy carp! Granted, I have not needed a lawyer for anything (and that was a real estate transaction) for a long time.

Now comes the tragedy where she outlives her usefulness and ends up in a hotel room broke and destitute.

She has been getting paid all of her life... It’s hard to imagine money going the other way.

If I were President Trump, I’d refuse that. Who knows where those quarters have been.

Avenatti thinks Trump’s lawyers work for under $50 an hour?

He's probably arguing that the hours were padded. He knows how much a top attorney charges. Fees can be inflated by overstating the rate or padding the hours.

$25,000 is ridiculous, though.

You’d have to get a graduate from correspondence courses at the Law School of University of American Samoa to get that rate.

$50/hr is what Avenetti thinks Trump’s lawyers are worth. You are right, he’s delusional.

I’m sure democrats would gladly send her money in a GoFundMe account. Or they could send it directly to Trump.

What’s she complaining about? 350k is just 17,500 5-minute back-alley interludes.

Working 8 hours a day, she could knock that off in about 182 days and just as many tubes of toothpaste.

“Those fees are probably right in line for Trump’s lawyers”

Gotta remember, Avenatti is an ambulance chaser type and $50/hr sounds good to him.
