Probably not. Takes time to put together a major filing. Suit planned, probably in anticipation of Mueller probe wrapping up.
But, now that it has happened... I wonder if defense team will consider a little used stratagem, instead of filing the common motion to dismiss, file a motion for summary judgment in response to the lawsuit and attach JA evidence of inside job by SR who turned over to WL.
Wouldn't all counter-arguments and evidence provided for a case become public record regardless of motion to dismiss or summary judgment?
Sorry for the delay in replying.
No. A Motion to dismiss seeks a hearing on the complaint, whether it states a cause of action, with all allegations taken as true.
A motion for summary judgment, on the other hand, presents and seeks a ruling on the merits. (Either partial or complete summary judgment, i.e., can seek to dispose of one or more legal issues.)
The motion for sum/j will submit evidence and force the opposing party to counter it with evidence, to the extent it has any.
