dominion got the evidence is because fox was playing, hide the ball that being said, it doesn t diminish the substance, import just because dominion just got it i think what s fascinating is there s this through line that we kind of forget about because there s always big news breaking every single day it s all kind of related because abby grossberg has her lawsuits and that impacts dominion. dominion impacts smartmatic. that s for 2 point something billion and there s a shareholder derivative lawsuit brought in delaware chancery court by a shareholder suing rupert mourdock, lack land, et cetera for damages he perceives for his value of his investment in fox all of it is interrelated. all of the evidence can be mutually included and used and so in this instance the jury will hear that fox news was playing hide the ball with this
