they can always dismiss their claim at any point. they're plaintiffs. trying to look strong probably hoping to kick can down the road and hope by then they get away with it
This is the best answer I've heard. I think it makes them look credible(strong), like they've got nothing to hide. But yeah, they can withdraw at any point. And Sidney, Giuliani as well as Trump understand defamation law very well and wouldn't pull the trigger without ammo.
any lawsuit sidney brings she needs to show injury. appropriate lawsuits against dominion are exactly the lawsuits that will be heard tomorrow at SCOTUS. If thrown out at SCOTUS there's a chance sidney will get very limited discovery FROM dominion, but instead be required to show what she based her claims on. something tells me she has the goods. and by defamation standards i don't think her sources have to pan out to necessarily be true as long as reasonable and she can't be found to have acted with malice....at least i believe this is how it should go

I just thought of something else though. Can't Powell counter sue now?
