Ooooh. Discovery, you say?
Bet that will unearth even more Nazi/Porn weirdness.
Sadly it won't ever get to that phase. This is just so he can claim it's a lie between now and election day. He'll quietly drop the lawsuit about a week after the election.
His biggest problem is North Carolina has a big Dixiecrat/ Republican base. He was getting a pass due to having a R next to his name. Now, they will vote for a white guy.
I wish it were required that both parties agree to the lawsuit being dropped for it not to continue. I'd love to see this frivolous bullshit forced into a courtroom against the plaintiffs will by the defendants.
You can counter sue, so we kind of have that system.
Possibly, but I could also see WB countersuing. They really don't have much to lose there.
"Hi, Comcast? Yeah, as far back as you got em."
"Hey, Google? Yep, thanks bro."
"Hey pornhub. Yeah, everything these IPs ever touched. Thanks."

I think it's more likely that he'll demand to settle or simply drop the lawsuit. Typical SLAPP behaviour.
CNN will likely try to have it dismissed because the legal fees will surely be astronomical.
I assume a company like CNN has a law firm on retainer who is being paid whether or not they're needed.
