That hasn't changed, but she's not financially in a position to carry the case through to a conclusion by herself. Fortunately, Dominion has sued a bunch of people and companies, so hopefully there will be a lot of opportunity for shared expenses. Also, if other cases go down discovery routes that Dominion is not willing to cooperate with, even when a court orders them to, that may result in Dominion dropping all the cases against people it claims made false and defamatory statements about the company. She doing what she needs to do with the resources she has.

so she wasn't aware of how much it would cost to go to court when she ran her mouth about welcoming going to court?

isn't that kind of like how when she ran her mouth about having evidence, and apparently didn't, actually? i mean, if she does have the evidence she claimed to, she should be able to win this case, easy. in court. without getting it dismissed. and do exactly what she claimed she'd do, expose them in court. you're just going to give her a pass on infinite bullshit claims, aren't you?

No, I don't give her a pass. She got suckered by Lin Wood and General McInerney and maybe some other people. She had the best of intentions, and was trying to get an election fraud case some traction in an impossibly short time frame. She was trying to save the nation, literally. She bit off more than she could chew. But there is a difference between making public statements about claims that are part of lawsuit that is about to be filed or has already been filed, and just making free-standing claims. She's playing some legal tricks here, but in the current situation it makes sense. It's exactly what Rachel Maddow did when OAN sued her, and she won. I don't have to agree with how our legal system works, to accept the fact that people who are using it, whether as plaintiffs or defendants, have to use it the way it is, not the way it should be. She may very well end up prevailing, because there are several other ongoing cases, and they are almost certainly sharing information with her about what discovery motions are getting hard pushback from Dominion.

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.
