I'm wondering if this will actually help cement this story. Wouldn't the defense (the journalists) be able to obtain all kinds of new data through discovery procedures they wouldn't have had access to otherwise?

Lol yes, but this administration is fucking stupid as fuck.

That's my understanding. It's presumably for this same reason Trump never sues over reporting on his involvement with Epstein or underage girls.

This sort of happened in Australia. A high profile military veteran was accused of war crimes based on whistleblower documents. He sued the news org and the reporters.

Witnesses were heard, documents scrutinized. The whole thing was thrown away. Appeals were dismissed. And a couple years later he was arrested for allegations of war crimes.

Yep and that's when they drop the case. Kash and his team want the settlement before disco. Unless Atlantic is just funneling money into the admin. They should easily make Kash back down
