1. How convenient

“This is a totally baseless complaint in a case where I represented six workers of the Christian Broadcasting Network in the course of workers’ compensation and other litigation,” Powell previously said in a statement from September. “This same complaint was presented in a motion and thrown out by the judge.”

“I believe this is politically motivated based on the timing of the complaint and the fact that the complaining attorney is a former Republican Congressional staffer. In the end, I successfully resolved this case through mediation,” he added.

I donated to his campaign, Cantor is a disease.

2. This looks like a nuisance suit

I find it hard to believe that if Company A is being sued, a lawyer for the plaintiff would actually tell the employees of Company A that Company A was NOT being sued.

These employees would be represented by Company A's counsel who would know wtf is going on.

I can't imagine the question would even come up.

Seems like bull to me. Would be interested in hearing what others think.
