> “We look forward to defending him with respect to these allegations,” is lawyer speak for "I have a mountain of evidence that is going to make these people look like fools."

To me (a former lawyer), that vague statement is definitely not an indication that he has a strong case. He may have one, but that statement comes across as weak to me. It's what you say when you can't offer any specifics about why the allegations are untrue. (As the old lawyer saying goes: "When the facts are on your side, pound the facts. When the law is on your side, pound the law. And when neither is on your side, pound the table.")
