Hopefully Smartmatic will go through with bringing their $2.7 billion lawsuit to trial.

Gah, what a disappointment. All that build up for this

My guess? Dominion was holding out for more money and probably some other stipulations. Fox didn't want to give it and then trial day came and Fox realized just how fucking flimsy it's defense was.

Nah, if you are represented by competent lawyers, a large number of cases settle once discovery of evidence is done. Cases that settle on the eve of trial is generally rarer and most likely due to clients playing a game of chicken.

Must have been an offer that Dominion and the lawyers could not refuse.

Wouldn't surprise me if it was north of a billion dollars.

Hopefully there's at least some disclosures, but usually there's not.

Fox News statement:

"We are pleased to have reached a settlement of our dispute with Dominion Voting Systems," Fox News officials said in a statement after an agreement had been reached. "We acknowledge the Courts rulings finding certain claims about Dominion to be false. This settlement reflects FOXs continued commitment to the highest journalistic standards."

"We are hopeful that our decision to resolve this dispute with Dominion amicably, instead of the acrimony of a divisive trial, allows the country to move forward from these issues, the statement said.

Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric Davis praised both sides after they abruptly settled the defamation case between Fox News and Dominion Voting Systems at the last second.
He said, I have been on the bench since 2010 I think this is the best lawyering Ive had, ever.
I would be proud to be your judge in the future, Davis said, his final words before leaving the bench.
The hearing is now over. The case is now over.

Judge just liked getting to watch Simpsons in court

Sometimes. Depends on the settlement. I have a hard time believing that Dominion would have settled without some contractual obligation about what Fox is allowed to say on air even if we don't know exactly what.

FWIW, that defense was pathetic. If it wasn't FOX, I'd say pitiful.

Latest updates on Smartmatic's lawsuit against Fox News. Apparently they're suing Fox Corporation as well as Fox News, so hopefully that one will actually go to trial.

Damn it, what a disappointment.

Like others said, I don't care about Dominion either way, but Fox News needs to be brought to task for the shit they've done. I would have had more respect for Dominion if they had forced this to go to trial.

Smartmatic wants all of the evidence Fox News gave to Dominion.
