Steyn is going to do his own lawyering in court. Meaning he will verbally decimate Mann when he gets him on the witness stand. There will no mercy because Mann has cost Mark so much money and time.
**** I am trusting Mark Steyn has a lawyer working for him behind the scenes

Daniel J Kornstein and his co-counsel Mark Platt were the driving force behind the most consequential free-speech legislation this century.
Dan and Mark's most important client in the last decade or so was Rachel Ehrenfeld, whose book Funding Evil happened to include rather more details of Khalid bin Mahfouz's bankrolling of al-Qaeda than the Saudi billionaire cared to have revealed to the world. So he sued her in a London court. Dan and Mark got Dr Ehrenfeld to countersue in New York to prevent Mahfouz from ever collecting, and, when the court declined to acknowledge it had personal jurisdiction over Mahfouz, they got the legislature to take up the issue and pass "Rachel's Law".
This law prevents New York courts from enforcing libel judgments from other countries with lower standards of freedom-of-speech protection.
