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

(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 …

Are we really expected to believe Davidson provided these willingly? If so, why. I never trust Avenattis collection methods.

Davidson issued a statement. It's in my report. He does not make any claim that the texts — the central part of the lawsuit — are not accurate.
-
Thanks for that, and I wasn’t insinuating they were inaccurate but still question the sourcing and the incompleteness. Seems so odd that he would admit to luring her onto Hannity, knowing the showboat Avenatti is, and that he will make this a BFD. Much appreciated.

Do we know when Daniels fired Davidson and hired Avenatti? Daniels is entitled to Davidson's relevant texts while he was working for her, but not after she fired him.

What I find interesting about these texts, is that they clearly show Cohen coordinating with Fox News.

I got a feeling she shouldn’t call someone else a “puppet” considering the amount of hands that have been working her mouth.
