davemc5192.bsky.social6It’s not to make it painful. They are defending themselves as they’ve every right to It’s a pity US Networks don’t have the same ‘cojones’
Data4Miles3They should ask for the Epstein files too.
Selene2The BBC has very little to fear from a foreign *monarch* - the Little King can't really hurt them in the long term, so the fear factor doesn't affect their ability to maneuver in a global media environment. Go, Beeb! Your American cousins are counting on you.
Larry From Pa1The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure covering discovery are soooo broad. Not looking it up, but it's badically anything not privileged (e.g. atty-client), that is admissible in evidence or might lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. The courts are liberal in what they required be disclosed.

northjoyce-1937.bsky.social5God knows the liar doesn't want anyone to find the truth about anything involving him. He's to stupid to know some of the stuff he starts backfires....
deltony4Wonder how one man can undo over 100 years and more of friendship with Canadians and British and still be in power.

Artist Jamie Shelton2As a multi billion dollar news organization that is itself basically being slandered by the convicted criminal defiling The White House with his very occupation of it, the BBC probably could have, and really should have counter sued for the same amount.
iowasufferagete.bsky.social4When is the 🍊💩🤡 going to remember that Discovery is going to prove he's guilty every single time.
Wooden Ellocust Toy (ceramic)3They will fail to comply in some way, stall things out, make various transparently bad faith plays and arguments, but they will never be held to account and not a single one will see a jail cell, because the system isn’t built to dispense justice.
BBC can ask for financial records in discovery as part of Trump's lawsuit, a judge ruled today. www.politico.com/news/2026/07...

scribunda.bsky.social4Trump will either appeal or drop the lawsuit.
