This was a very smart move. A good lawyer knows that it’s far better to pursue a simple case based on solid evidence that will stand up to scrutiny and is predicated on clear violations of specific laws.

When I see these threads on these legal challenges I immediately think of my last time on a jury a few years ago. It was a civil case involving a car accident. The plaintiff was some foreign dude who needed a translator when he was on the stand. There was no dispute about assigning fault in the case. The other driver was 100% at fault.

The plaintiff’s lawyers introduced mountains of evidence to support their claim that the guy had sustained a permanent back injury — all kinds of herniated discs, bulging discs, displaced discs, etc.

I could tell from the docket number of the case that it had been filed FIVE YEARS earlier, and I knew from experience that the insurance company for the at-fault driver had probably offered a boatload of money to settle out of court.

The one problem the guy had with the jury was that all the medical evidence in the world didn’t come close to proving to us that he had actually sustained any injuries in the car accident. He admitted under cross-examination that he had been a competitive weightlifter earlier in his life, and that he had been involved in at least one prior accident where he had been injured but never sought medical attention.

The jury was out for about 15 minutes before we came back and awarded him $0.

Exactly.

Both Giuliani and Powell know how to use court process in a very skillful way. Powell needs money and we should give it to her. I believe she is on to something.

Rudy has taken the simple case. Powell’s can be very complex. Both are necessary.

What is important for a next step is that both Giulliani and Powell have federal courts that grant then expedited discovery so they can get at the data.
