JW got what they wanted. By the judge allowing JW to ask Pagliano every question they had on their slate, they can now assert that Hitlery is the only possible source of those answers.
Hitlery’s attorneys will challenge such a ruling if it goes in JW’s favor - their hope is to drag her deposition past the election. So, it comes down to timing. If she is forced to testify, JW gets either her invoking the 5th - or take a chance on embarrassing answers (the competence argument comes to mind) - or gets caught in multiple lies.
This is half a yard forward, but the game continues.

These are very well thought out points.
