    Big story. But, a big caveat, too: This is simply a lawsuit being filed, which anyone can do at any time about anything.https://twitter.com/brianstelter/status/892352565064732672 …

        There's a lot in here, and a lot of people are going to be making claims about what different parts of it mean or meant. Just be careful.

        Wait, wait: Ur takeaway from a well-sourced story w/ on-the-record confirmations, recorded messages & convos is "careful its just a filing?"

        Then don't follow that statement up with three tweets qualifying the opposite. The article is 90% about things other than the lawsuit.

        It's a "forest for the trees" argument. The lawsuit ref'd in the article is a sapling among adult Redwoods. Don't cut down the whole forest…

        That may be the most ridiculous statement I have ever heard a lawyer make. Good Grief. Are you seriously a member of a State Bar?

        Won't survive MTD (or "cannot bring") is not equal to complaint not being physically received by clerk and docketed. Duh.

        And there are rules that EVERY lawyer must follow as officers of court to NOT bring frivolous/meritless suits. That's how to get disbarred

        Of course. Enforcement of R11 and state analogs is a separate step though. One that not every firm/client will take. You CAN allege 1/2

        2/2 anything in a complaint. Sanctions are a separate q from whether such a complaint will be received by clerk.

        But it's not separate from a Lawyer's statement saying anyone can do such. What are you advocating? Flood the courts with frivolous suits?
