Manfort's Friends Have Launched A Legal Defense Fund, Saying He's Struggling To Pay His Bills
Manfort's Friends Have Launched A Legal Defense Fund, Saying He's Struggling To Pay His Bills
https://www.buzzfeed.com/zoetillman/paul-manforts-friends-have-launched-a-legal-defense-fund
Manafort hasn't been able to access several financial accounts and other assets since the special counsel's office filed charges last year, according to his lawyer.
Friends of former Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort have launched a legal defense fund for him as he continues to fight charges brought by special counsel Robert Mueller's office.
Manafort and his family are "struggling to pay legal bills," according to an email on Wednesday announcing the fund that was provided to BuzzFeed News.
The fund was established by unnamed, "longtime" friends of Manafort. A spokesperson for Manafort declined to comment. Fund organizers did not immediately return a request for comment. NPR first reported the fundraising effort.

Avenatti drops request to participate in Cohen case after warning to 'stop your publicity tour'
Avenatti drops request to participate in Cohen case after warning to 'stop your publicity tour'
https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/30/politics/avenatti-cohen-publicity-tour/index.html
(CNN)Porn star Stormy Daniels' attorney, Michael Avenatti, withdrew his motion to participate in the court battle involving the FBI raid of President Donald Trump's attorney's hotel and office Wednesday after a federal judge warned him he would have to "stop your publicity tour."
Avenatti, who practices law in California, had requested to be admitted into the New York proceedings, but was met with fierce objection from the attorney for Michael Cohen, Trump's long-time lawyer, who cited Avenatti's frequent television appearances, public statements about Cohen's guilt and his release of Cohen's personal financial information.
In a nod to that, Judge Kimba Wood told Avenatti that for him to be admitted, "you would have to change your conduct" and "stop your publicity tour." Wood said she didn't mean that in a derogatory way but later said "this conduct is inimitable to giving Mr. Cohen eventually a fair trial."
Wood did not rule on whether to allow Avenatti to appear formally in court but made clear that his time speaking before her was limited. "Until you are admitted I don't expect you to stand here and be heard," the judge told him. About an hour after the hearing ended Avenatti withdrew his motion to appear without prejudice, meaning he could take it up later.

The Failing and Corrupt @nytimes estimated the crowd last night at 1000 people, when in fact it was many times that number - and the arena was rockin. This is the way they demean and disparage. They are very dishonest people who dont get me, and never did!

Bob Iger of ABC called Valerie Jarrett to let her know that ABC does not tolerate comments like those made by Roseanne Barr. Gee, he never called President Donald J. Trump to apologize for the HORRIBLE statements made and said about me on ABC. Maybe I just didnt get the call?

Who says you need top billing to be the star of the movie? Sometimes, you watch a flick and you walk away delightfully entertained by a bit part cameo, and thats all you remember.
Check out these examples below. They only had maybe 10 min in the entire film, but they own those minutes and elevate the movie into something great.
Gotta earn that coffee. Its for closers only.

Actors who showed up in one scene and stole the movie
Saw this on a Website this morning. One of the actors they named was Alec Baldwin in Glengarry Glen Ross.
