Agreed. But depending on whether you're in notice or fact pleading jurisdictions, complaints can include legal arguments similar to those one sees in briefs.
He strikes me as a very annoyed judge. I don't think he likes his job very much.
Also, Flynn's new legal team is a bunch of scorched earth psychos. Sullivan may be sending a message: "You're doing your client no favors."
