i don't know that she got suckered in by lin wood. for all i know it could've been the other way around. but honestly i don't think any of them got suckered in, i think they took trump supporters for suckers, is what it seems like. she's a lawyer. a high profile one at that. she's not supposed to get 'suckered in' to anything. that's like one of the defining points of being a good lawyer.
also, people can talk about this simply being a legal strategy all they want, but the fact still remains that her legal strategy is to say that only unreasonable people believed her statements. saying 'it's just a legal strategy' doesn't make it any less shitty. not only that but it's a legal strategy to get the suit against her dismissed, so if it works, none of this stuff you're talking about with discovery means anything. because there'd be no suit.
She is making a specific legal claim that is being taken out of context. She is saying that the defamatory statements Dominion she alleges she made don't meet the legal standard for defamation because they were made in the context of a lawsuit which was, by definition, alleging that what she claimed was true, and that people hearing her allegations would have known that they were being made in that context, and that there would be "another side to the story" presented by Dominion in the course of the legal proceedings.
ok so explain the "reasonable people" part of it. because you're completely ignoring that. you're also ignoring how she filed to get the suit dismissed after saying she wanted to go to court.
