    Just FYI this is fairly routine to file motion for dismissal and similar ones.

    Don’t start with the whole “how could he?!?”, it’s basically a formality in most cases.

      Yep. And this one in particular everyone was expecting.

      On a cursory glance the argument may make some sense, however taking part it a conspiracy isn’t a protected action. As long as there is a half competent judge hearing this motion it shouldn’t last long.
