*snip*

Dominion filed the lawsuit against Fox News on March 26, alleging that the network had given prominence to the election-fraud conspiracy theory to revive its ratings. Fox News has consistently denied this claim and said it is "proud of our 2020 election coverage."

As part of that lawsuit, Dominion subpoenaed Giuliani, Powell, and Lindell on Monday, a filing in state court in Delaware showed.

The subpoena asked Giuliani, a former New York mayor who served as Trump's personal lawyer, to hand over all documents related to his appearances on Fox since 2016 and all communications with the network related to both the 2020 presidential election and Dominion, Bloomberg reported.

The subpoena also asked for Giuliani to provide documents about the nature of his relationship with the network, "whether formal or informal, compensated or uncompensated," the report said.

Dominion sent similar subpoenas to Lindell and Powell, a pro-Trump attorney. They have until July 25 to comply, Bloomberg reported, citing the filing.

1. And when they ignore the subpoena, then what?

3. This is a civil case in which the judge has a lot of discretion

to impose fines and sanctions for the failure to comply with discovery demands. They'll fight it, of course, but there's no government interests involved here; it's a tort claim for defamation and the plaintiff has the right to obtain documents the defendants allege support their (false) claims. I don't think the judge will put up with their bullshit. And this plaintiff has very deep pockets that will enable it to pursue this lawsuit as far as it wants to go with it. So does Fox, but Dominion is suing to protect its reputation, and I think Fox will turn on Giuliani et al. in order to get dismissed from the lawsuit in exchange for a confidential settlement.

14. Expect Fox to turn against Giuliani, and Giuliani to turn against Fox

Then Fox against the other two and the other two against Fox...

It is going to get interesting. My prediction is that Fox will settle outside of court, not sure Giuliani and the other two can.

[Ocelot II]

16. That's my expectation, too.

Fox probably wants out of this clusterfuck and all association with Giuliani and the other loons as soon as possible, and will settle up before things get much messier, and then they'll turn on The Kraken. It will be entertaining to watch.

18. Hopefully Dominion will not settle for a NDA driven settlement and fake apology on air.

2. A golden chance for Republican traitors to lie under oath

please proceed

[EYESORE 9001]

4. Story was published July 2

A clue: ‘ They have until July 25 to comply, Bloomberg reported, citing the filing.’

Anything new?

[Nevilledog]

7. My under-coffeed brain read that as August 2 not July 2.

I missed it a month ago, I guess.
Quick search didn't show an update.

8. Good Question

I've done a Google search looking for updated news but can find nothing.

5. Dominion is fighting for its existence.

What Republican controlled election board will buy machines from them after the lies that have been told?

6. "I was just the coffee guy..."

Thank that'll hold up in court?

[BlueJac]

9. Take these clowns down,

They have been asking for it!

[sarcasmo]

10. Rudy is already broke.

[lastlib]

13. I want him broken.

I want him ground up into little ex-mayor meatballs to be fed to buzzards.

I want enough left of Mike Lindell to clean up with a few good paper towels to be discarded with the other biohazard waste.

That is all.

[Grins]

11. A month ago. Why is this coming around again?

[Submariner]

12. Rudy's got to be pissed for not taking his 401(k)

and retiring to a Miami beach chair instead of ruining his life for nothing.

[twodogsbarking]

15. So did they hand over anything by July 25th?

Inquiring minds.

[Ocelot II]

17. Might have gotten an extension for document production,

which is pretty common in civil litigation discovery. Normally you get 30 days but extensions are often granted, either by the court or by the parties' agreement.

[Duppers]

19. Won't they just take the 5th?
