Michael Avenatti Met With Prosecutors for Seagram Heiress (Bronfman) in NXIVM Case
Vulture ^ | 2-27-2019 | Victoria Bekiempis

Clare Bronfman, the Seagram liquor heiress charged alongside NXIVM leader Keith Raniere and Smallville actress Allison Mack in the infamous sex-cult case, nearly fell in court Wednesday during a dramatic proceeding in which it was revealed that disgraced celebrity lawyer Michael Avenatti had negotiated with prosecutors on her behalf.

Bronfman was asked by Brooklyn federal court judge Nicholas G. Garaufis whether Avenatti was now one of her attorneys. She presently counts Mark Geragos, who is reportedly an unindicted co-conspirator in Avenatti’s extortion case with Nike, among her lawyers.

“It is now the court’s understanding that she has an additional attorney who was in negotiation with [prosecutors] for her, but did not file a notice of appearance,” the judge said, referring to the paperwork one must file to officially be an attorney on a case.

“I want the truth, did she retain Mr. Avenatti to represent her in this case? Yes or no?” Garaufis asked.

There was then a brief sidebar, apparently regarding this question. After it concluded several minutes later, Bronfman suddenly seemed unsteady on her feet and appeared on the brink of falling to the table.

An ambulance was called. After four firefighters and two EMTs arrived, Bronfman was then placed on a stretcher and taken into a conference room.

UH-OH... This happened about an hour ago, mainstream media is being very slow on the uptake. I WONDER WHY??

Geregos is her attorney of record. So, do now have a straight line connecting NXVIM to Smullett and top Democrats???

Let’s not mistake coincidence with causation. Avenatti seems to have had his nose it a lot of seedy businesses but that doesn’t necessarily link them together.

But it’s certainly worth investigating.

I have watched this ongoing story because I enjoyed Smallville.

The more I learn the dirtier the top people become. It also makes me wonder how easily people were taken in.

Speaking of CPL, I posed the other day that he'll end up asking for a free lawyer because he's broke. Prediction fulfilled:

The deep-state/human trafficking connection is like a huge stinking bloated dead whale carcass just waiting to burst open.

The Bronfman family DNA certainly has more than its share of people not playing with full decks.

Seagram? That's one of our top-selling liquors.

Isn’t HE a lawyer? He’s going to take some street lawyer who may not have tried a criminal case before instead of representing himself? How does that enhance his flashy high powered high dollar image?
