Of course they have. Everyone here thinking this is some sort of slam-dunk to take down Dominion are the same people who would buy oceanfront property in Colorado.

Dominion is a multi-million dollar company. They're not going to dive headfirst into a defamation suit if they think it's going to hurt their bottom line.

The truth of the matter is that Dominion has a good case. Guilliani (and Powell, who was sued separately) made very serious claims. They did not have the evidence showing ballots actually being changed (and no folks, some guy doing a statistical analysis on Twitter is not the same as actual evidence of their claims). Even in discovery, this is dangerous.

What if Guilliani took his "evidence" and ask other experts to corroborate it, and they came back and said it's bullshit? That's something that absolutely could come out in discovery, and would then put a red mark right on him for pushing a dubious if not outright false claim.

I am not usually a betting man but I will say this - IF this gets close to trial, Guilliani and Powell will settle. The reason is very simple - IF they had the evidence showing this fraud (as they claimed...), where is it? Why wasn't it shown in court? The one case where they used the Dominion system as a point in the lawsuit, the court asked them to show them the evidence of votes being changed and they couldn't show it.
