1. Doubt this works

I don't think they will win this. They're desperate. And even a win barely gives them anything useful, so this looks like a PR stunt to attack Avenatti.

2. What part of their argument did you find to be the weakest?

4. Some of it....All of it....All of it...

That was from the Sez Who interview with Cohen on CNN.

3. "Define those false statements, sir"

..alleging that Avenatti has violated professional rules of conduct by making knowingly false statements.

I think they want to find out who Avenatti's source is. And this is may be one way to try to get him to have to do it.
But of course, they will fail at this desperate thug move also.
