Discoveryfor the DoD is going to be a bitch.
DoD will have a a real mess on their hands in complying with discovery demands. It will take many months and DoD will not want to provide the names of those making the decisions on the language for the exemption paperwork; and all the revisions; plus all the phone logs, emails, minutes of meetings, chain of command involvement, etc.
After that, it will be time for requests for admissions, follow requests for admissions, followed by depositions. High ranking officials hate being deposed because they are so easy to trip up.
Then there will be discovery and depositions of the medical personnel. They really don’t like being deposed, especially when the will be hammered by all the evidence about major adverse effects.
Very good points. I wonder if this is all part of the plan to prolong the mandates, pushing the date back with all of these procedural issues.
