Actually this is a case where 'eww' may have a chance to do something to a final conclusion..... It's civil and he can follow it to completion win or lose. He won't have to depend upon some other entity to follow through on his findings. So he will sink or swim upon his own abilities.
But a press release to say that the court didn't throw out his plaintiff's case on a motion to dismiss by the defendants.... that's really laughable imo. Did he expect it to get thrown out? If so then why did he file it?
Perhaps part of that 26 million goes to pay an in-house Dept of Press Releases. If one is posted that Larry sneezed you will know that I am correct.
But you raise a logical question: it is a victory ONLY if you anticipated a loss.
