Dominion Voting Systems v. Fox News — Civil Defamation Case

Dominion Voting Systems recently deposed Tucker Carlson at Fox News, and Sean Hannity and others are scheduled for a date in the near future.  All this is prep work for the upcoming, much-ballyhooed jury trial in which the plaintiff alleges that the defendant defamed Dominion’s reputation.

I’d love to read the transcripts, if only to see how well the plaintiff’s attorney’s line of questioning jibes with my own instincts.

I would proceed as follows:

We’ve all reviewed the video footage in which you told millions of your viewers that my client deliberately configured its voting machines so as to rig the 2020 presidential election in favor of Joe Biden, an accusation for which there is exactly zero evidence.  What I want to know is how that accusation came to be.  Let’s take a specific statement of yours, the statement you made in your show of (date) in which you said, “……”  Please explain where that idea originated.  Did someone order you to say it?  Who?  What exact words were used to convey the order?  Was there any conversation back and forth between —- and you on this matter?  Please elaborate.  Etc.” 

Decent people everywhere hope that Fox News goes down hard here, thus deterring sources of “news” from manufacturing and disseminating malicious lies.
