Actually this is good. The lawyers will NOW get an opportunity to show their evidence in court
Some people are claiming Giuliani, Powell, & Lindell must be lying about Dominion if they tried to get the defamation suits against them dropped.
We have seen how partisan judges have affected the cases against political figures such as Roger Stone by restricting the defense's ability to make their case while allowing prosecutors to taint the jury pool or seat jury members that are friendly to their cause. We have also seen juries, some with activists participating, completely ignore evidence to reach a pre-determined conclusions for political reasons.
Our judicial system is far from the "blind & fair" government branch it claims to be. Therefore, when faced with the even smallest chance of a losing verdict involving a $1B+ claim, you too would try to get the case dropped so that you could present your case in a less risky environment.
With the defamation suits continuing, the burden of proof shifts to the plaintiff, Dominion Voting Systems. They must prove that the defendants claims were false and made with malicious intent.
The defendants have the right to present evidence supporting their claims. Given that the claims surround Dominion's operations & practices, the discovery process should include Dominion granting access (via subpoena) to the defense teams. Whether the judge allows the defense these rights is where the risk lies and could make all the difference in these cases.
