You know, it seems unfair for Michael Avenatti to expect us to give him any credibility when he can’t even give credibility to himself:
Report: Avenatti Accuses The Wrong Michael Cohen Of Making ‘Fraudulent’ Payment https://t.co/ubcq7eXdKK pic.twitter.com/HIWpeZQLKe

Avenatti's report accuses two Michael Cohens who are not affiliated with Trump of receiving potentially "fraudulent" wire transfers. One has directly asked Avenatti to publicly correct the "scurrilous rumors" https://t.co/DKfhFvFx78 @dailycaller

More from the Daily Caller:
Michael Avenatti, porn star Stormy Daniels’ lawyer, released a seven-page dossier on Tuesday containing a list of payments purportedly made to Michael Cohen, the lawyer for President Donald Trump.
But there is one problem with the document: two of the allegedly “fraudulent” payments were made to men named Michael Cohen who have no affiliation with Trump.
Read the whole thing. Avenatti getting stuff wrong is becoming kind of a pattern.

You need to be pretty careful when dealing with a name as common as Michael Cohen…https://t.co/NKVOnoCcN5

Sheesh. If this wasn’t embarrassing before, it sure is now.

This is what expensive incompetence looks like.

Oh, and then there’s this:
Treasury Department's inspector general investigating possible leak of Michael Cohen's bank info https://t.co/mQ2zXc4Ayz

More from the Daily Caller:
It is unclear how Avenatti obtained the financial records cited in his report. But various news outlets, including The New York Times, also appear to have viewed the documents. The Treasury Department’s office of the inspector general opened an investigation into whether someone leaked Cohen’s financial documents to Avenatti and the press, it was reported on Wednesday.
It remains a mystery how the financial records of a completely separate Michael Cohen would have ended up in the tranche of documents provided to Avenatti.
Michael Cohen — the Trump lawyer Michael Cohen — is shady as hell. But you know what? So is Michael Avenatti.
But yeah, absolutely, keep accepting everything without skepticism when it helps Your Team. https://t.co/n8huhn811W
