I guess you haven't heard the news. They settled when it went to discovery
This case has been going on for years.
Lots of discovery has been produced.
In February a couple of things happened.
The judge warned she might sanction the parties if discovery disputes dragged on.
The other was Smartmatic alleged in court papers that OAN
“participated in a crime by soliciting, reviewing, and disseminating information designed to assist bad actors with hacking into Smartmatic’s email communications.”
Starting in July 2023, OANN produced a series of emails revealing that Charles Herring received what purported to be illegally obtained passwords for the
email systems of Smartmatic employes (the “Stolen Passwords”).....The actions taken by Mr. Herring and others at OANN upon receipt of the Stolen Passwords
constitute potential criminal activities under state and federal law
Specifically Smartmatic accuses Robert Herring, the head of OAN of emailing the passwords to others.
Smartmatic was asking the judge for more discovery about this.
Let’s get to the merits of this
case. Let’s get fact discovery restarted. Let’s get this case moving
I guess you haven't heard the news. They settled when it went to discovery. I guess Smartmatic saw something they didn't want the public to know.
This is why it was settled. If it had in their favor as I said before they would be bragging.
I hate the fact that OAN signed anything so this evidence will not be released.

So this is not as cut and dried as you imply.
Yeah right you keep believing that.
What a schmuck.
