Surely, yes. A lot of the court stuff interesting us Fogfolk is political show-boating, craziness, or vendettas. But the Smartmatic case must be serious litigation by a serious company using serious lawyers with their focus sharply on winning.

And it certainly helps that companies like Newsmax and Lindell Management, Inc. are run by arrogant assholes who think they are smarter than everyone else (they are not)

I'm guessing that, just as in the Dominion case, Fox will reach a settlement on the eve of trial.

Given that Dominion extracted $787m from Fox, plus the (hardly coincidental) firing of Tucker Carlson, and Smartmatic is a far bigger corporation, I am wondering what Fox will have to pay for a negotiated settlement. Maybe close to or more than $1bn.

The other litigant to watch is former Dominion VP Eric Coomer, who has a bunch of defamation lawsuits in progress against a whole host of defendants.
At least 2 defendants already settled with Coomer. https://www.thedailybeast.com/one-ameri ... ric-coomer

Short note cause I poked around for more info: Negroponte was DNI at the time Dennis Montgomery had created his many harddisks for the FBI. This denined request was about opening that Montgomery lawsuit court proceedings.

Four Fox Corporation board members have been subpoenaed in voting technology company Smartmatic’s $2.7 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News over its airing of 2020 election lies, alleging executives at the right-wing cable channel’s parent company knew it was spreading false claims.
In a court filing Monday, Smartmatic subpoenaed the four board members — Anne Dias, Charles Carey, Roland Hernandez, Jacques Nasser — over Fox News’s repeated airing of bogus conspiracy theories that the 2020 election was stolen from former President Donald Trump.
“Accountability and responsibility do not stop with Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch,” Smartmatic lead attorney Erik Connolly said in a statement. “Smartmatic plans to pursue Fox’s board members as well to determine why they allowed the company’s most valuable asset, Fox News, to spread disinformation about the 2020 election.”
New York Judge David Cohen had previously ordered Fox Corporation to turn over documents related to the board members in the case.

Not directly related to this case, but QAnon seems to be very excited that "a South Florida federal grand jury" has INDICTED!! Smartmatic or some of their executives over a bribery allegation in some foreign country (sorry didn't get the details).
Of course this means that WITHIN DAYS!! the whole Stollen Election theory will be proved and no doubt Brunson will win his case and Hillary will be hanged at Gitmo for 5th time, or is it the 6th.

Yes, indictments, but they have nothing to do with US election fraud.

Apparently the judge is getting pissed off at their inability to move past discovery.
There was a hearing today where each side was given 5 minutes to explain their position on the various disputes.
I wonder how that turned out....

In blow to Newsmax, judge rules Smartmatic’s case over 2020 election lies will go to trial this month
More at the link above.A major defamation case against Newsmax will proceed to trial later this month, a judge ruled Thursday, dealing a blow to the right-wing network and setting the stage for the 2020 election to be relitigated during the final stretch of the 2024 race.
Delaware Superior Court Judge Eric Davis rejected Newsmax’s attempt to shut down the case, which was brought by the voting technology company Smartmatic, without even holding a trial. Instead, Davis concluded that key questions about Newsmax’s actions in 2020 would be weighed by a jury, barring a pre-trial settlement.
“Newsmax reported on allegations regarding the Election and Smartmatic, but there remains a dispute as to whether Newsmax recklessly disregarded the truth,” Davis wrote. “The jury must determine if Newsmax was doing what media organizations typically do — inform the public of newsworthy events—or did Newsmax purposely avoid the truth and defame Smartmatic.
Newsmax chief Chris Ruddy speaks at the CPAC conference in Washington on March 2, 2023.
Related article Newsmax chief said in 2020 ‘we have no evidence’ election was rigged, but aired those claims anyway, Smartmatic alleges
The trial is scheduled to begin September 30. However, defamation cases like these are often resolved, even at the last minute, with an out-of-court settlement.

So 2 1/2 weeks until Newsmax reveals the cost of doing the turnip's bidding.
