“If he can prove the drop was directly related to the libel from people like Sharpton, Matthews, etc, he now can show a direct monetary damage which could reinforce a nice, fat lawsuit.”
__________
The left would be drooling all over themselves to get Rush under oath in discovery. Rush does not want to go under oath to answer questions about Oxycontin, Viagra, marriages, divorces and draft deferment and anything else that they could use as a smear.
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.
You are slow if you think that is the route it would go.

And how are such questions germain and relevant discovery? The slander and libel are about racism.
And why would he have to answer any questions regarding any of those things? They have nothing to do with the case. You can’t just ask any questions you want during trial.
None of which would have much relevance to a suit as near as I can determine. Discovery of those items would seem to be quite a task.

Makes no matter. Since those are all lies and smears, the truth under oath would not hurt anyone but the scumbags on the left.
Been reading the DUmmy website eh?
