          UPDATE: Cohen's lawyer, Brent Blakely, on Stormy's new lawsuit: "This new lawsuit ... has no merit whatsoever as to my client, Michael Cohen, and appears to be yet another publicity stunt. We look forward to defeating this lawsuit in court."https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/stormy-daniels-sues-former-lawyer-puppet-cohen-trump?utm_term=.kvjEZBmPA#.ghWYopdLP …

          Update: Michael Cohen's lawyer has filed a notice that he is removing Stormy Daniels' new lawsuit to federal court. (This means it likely will be heard in federal court, instead of Calif. state court, where it was filed.)https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4498013-Clifford-v-Davidson-Cohen-Notice-of-Removal.html …

          As noted — https://twitter.com/ThumperNYC/status/1004785894740676610 … — removal based on diversity of parties (from diff states) isn't available if any defendant is from the state where the suit was brought (Calif). It looks like Cohen's lawyer is hinging the removal on the fact Davidson hasn't yet been served.pic.twitter.com/VT7HyU52SI

          Chris Geidner Retweeted Peter K. Stris

          (Cohen's lawyer removed to C.D. Cal.) —> "The minority view is to look past the plain language of the statute and decline to permit removal prior to service. See, e.g., Standing v. Watson Pharms., Inc., 2009 WL 842211 (C.D. Cal. 2009)"https://twitter.com/PeterStris/status/1004794931578204160 …

          For those who love federal civil procedure, there's actually a decent amount of caselaw on the propriety of this type of pre-service removal: https://www.insidemedicaldevices.com/2014/02/avoiding-the-forum-defendant-rule-through-pre-service-removal/ …

          Keith Davidson, meanwhile — Stormy Daniels' original lawyer — is now countersuing her and Avenatti, alleging defamation based on an Avenatti tweet: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4498440-Clifford-v-Davidson-Cohen-Davidson-Clifford.html …pic.twitter.com/4CTsgJOSlg

          Keith Davidson ALSO filed a claim against Michael Cohen, alleging that Cohen's purported recordings of conversations with Davidson violated Davidson's privacy rights under California law. https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4498441-Clifford-v-Davidson-Cohen-Davidson-Cohen.html …pic.twitter.com/hiCxDbpZPY

          Umm of course they’re legit! Under ethics rules and CCP 128.7 a lawyer may not file a frivolous complaint! Avenatti isn’t stupid to file text messages if they aren’t what he says they are.

          Sheesh. And my cell provider just told me that no carrier actually keeps a record of incoming or out going message content. Wonder how they got these?!

          This is dumb, it's not unusual that opposing attorneys come up w/ a deal for a client that may be amicable.

          Sounds like an attorney protecting his client, she did sign a DNA. Coordinating with other attorney so everyone was on same page. I don’t get the outrage here 🤔
