reason they gave these people a platform and allow them to get this man s information is that fox had a real problem, as you just laid out quite elegantly, with its own audience for calling arizona the way that it did. i think this is a nether one of those circumstances where, while the new york times story is jaw-dropping and newsworthy and incredibly interesting, it is only tangentially relevant to the lawsuit. when i read the story because i am a lawyer, my first thought was is dominion even going to try to get this particular recording into evidence because it is so three steps removed from the guts of their case? if they do, will fox try to excluded? i came to the conclusion that if i were dominion s lawyers, i would not try to get into evidence in the case. lee, you have done such a good job and an important
