Discovery would only apply to evidence either side plans to bring. The defense can ask for information on those things, however, if Rush’s legal team have no reason to bring any of that into evidence, they don’t have to release it in discovery.
The same thing with questioning, if it isn’t germane to the case, it doesn’t have to be answered.
There is a lot of bad information going around lately regarding discovery. Discovery doesn’t give the opposing side of a lawsuit free reign to any and all information on the opposing side. It only applies to evidence the opposing side plans to use in the case.
Objection Your Honor, “Relevence”. Objection sustained.
Thank you. Only items pertinent to the case would be admissible in court.
Discovery in this case could be sweeping as Rush would be claiming that he was defamed to the point that he lost an opportunity. The leftys would counter that he had little character to defame.
Regardless. No one knows the story yet. We don’t know if any of this is real as there has been no story posted. The rumor that this thread is based on suggests that Rush voluntarily removed his offer to be a part of a group making this purchase. Do we suggest that it is in Rush’s nature to then start crying and suing?
