      JUST IN: Michael Cohen's lawyers say that @MichaelAvenatti should not be allowed to represent @StormyDaniels in the dispute over Cohen's files in NY b/c, they argue, he has "demonstrate[d] his lack of fitness to practice before this court."

      Here's the filing, which acknowledges that the request Avenatti is making — seeking pro hac vice admission — is generally granted but calls this an "exceptional case" that warrants a denial.https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4469576-Cohen-v-USA-Cohen-Opposition-to-Avenatti.html …

          Not only is generally granted but has been granted to @MichaelAvenatti in other cases previously. You can smell the desperation of the Cohen Camp from here....

          On that logic, Cohen attorneys shouldn't be allowed to defend him in the @MichaelAvenatti filed Daniels California Courts cases.

          This is a new one to me: "Mr. Avenatti also published... factually accurate information regarding Mr. Cohen’s banking transactions that had no lawful source." Great argument - "yes, it's true, but how does he know?" /s

          My guess is they don't expect to win but are trying to force Avenatti to reveal how he obtained the information and have it ruled inadmissible - which would be a huge victory. But Avenatti has the law on his side as long as he didn't steal it somehow.

          The problem is, the person (a long time law enforcement person) has said it was him/her they can't force him to reveal this person. I think @MichaelAvenatti will protect his source, just like journalists do.

          Replying to @AlreadyGreat_ @TCLucas1970 and

          So far, as I remember he hasn't actually said how he got the documents. I think he's waiting for Cohen to slip up again though and claims there's nothing else to see, which would put him in at risk of an obstruction charge when more leaks out. Which it appears it will.
