The depositions are one of the clearest indications yet of how aggressively Dominion Voting Systems is moving forward with its suit against the media company.

21. Going home to be with their leader, Vlad?

Might not be a warm homecoming after they have fouled the nest. (Is that fowled the nest?)

[LAS14]

[blueknight73]

9. He's in trouble,

Because he's fucking stupid and has an audience of people that are even more stupid. He won't have that audience in the deposition

[allegorical oracle]

10. Good news, but even under oath will they tell the truth? They've been lying for so long,

neither actually knows the truth. Just like their puppet master.

[YoshidaYui]

15. Will Hannity be Dominion's coffee boy? Will Carlson be allowed to sleep in their dumpster?

16. Dominion is not going to settle

In the vast majority of these cases individuals and companies settle. The winner gets a pile of money but only if they let the loser off the hook with "no admission of wrongdoing". That ain't gonna work here. Dominion needs to get a fulsome confession of lying and admitted wrongdoing by Fox and all the various basket of deplorables who piled into the Big Lie clown car.

Their business was severely damaged by these false accusations. It is only by getting the liars to admit to their lies can they ever hope to regain public trust and put their business back together. The big ol'pile of cash is just compensation for the loss of business they have already suffered and damage to their reputation. Personally I expect them to demand repeated on air full blown mea culpas by every single one of the talking heads who slandered them. I mean multiple 10 minute segments of kowtows, foreheads beat on the ground, tears of sorrow, promises to never do it again, the C Suites purged of anyone who egged on this mess and all of them begging for forgiveness. Only then should they leave Fox and others enough money to barely stay in business.

[erronis]

23. Good analysis - I agree. Stick it to them - long and deep.

[Disaffected]

32. and hard.

[Marcuse]

26. Yes. Free commercials ads ad infinitum.

[onecaliberal]

19. They will not even be able to recall their own names.

[malaise]

20. Oh My!

This will be good

[rurallib]

22. Zecutive privilege! Zecutive privilege!

weren't they advisors to Dumpy?

[TrollBuster9090]

24. And what about that obnoxious carnival balloon with a clown face painted on it?

Maria Bartiromo? (aka Maria Fartaroma) Isn't se deposed also?

And what about that addle brained banana slug with a bad hair dye job, Lou Dobbs?

Anyway, thanks for making my day! Let the squirming of the worms commence!

[oldsoftie]

25. I wish THAT one was televised. nt

[Evolve Dammit]

28. Nail them all. Sickening enablers of the worst chapter in our nations history.

[newdayneeded]

30. This won't go well for hannity

He'll walk in there thinking he's the smartest guy in the room. reality.....he's the dumbest guy on radio and TV. the only thing he knows are the right wing talking points handed to him that morning.

[ProfessorGAC]

31. That Should Be Uncomfortable

Having been an expert witness in 6 trials. I can say that depositions are more tedious & exhausting than testifying on the stand.
Given these circumstances (their on air statements are inherent to the suit) I can see that being an uncomfortable 8 to 16 hours.

33. Hannity looks like he's been loading up on the steaks.
