Read the lawsuit filed by aaron rich. No doubt in my mind some big money is going to be ordered by a jury.
The evidence sought by subpoena is relevant to the plaintiffs case.
I hav not read the lawsuit.
A civil suit for damages requires that one prove that they have been damaged.
How does any story, correct or not, damage a dead person?
And how does any story that is about a dead person damage the living who are not even a part of the story?
A jury could award $100 billion if they wanted to ... and it would be thrown out by the judge in the case. The biggest challenge a plaintiff has in a case like this is proving that anyone has actually suffered any harm that would warrant a monetary award for damages.
Much of what was written in the complaint is totally unnecessary, but typical of what the media oriented lawyers working for the left write. It looks like something Avenetti or Aldrich would file.
Unless he has some other source of funds Mr. Rich is unlikely to be able to afford his legal team for long, and many of his targets are likely to have limited funds to even pay a judgment if he wins his case.
So the real reason the case was filed probably isn't the case itself. It may be an attempt to gather information from Wikileaks and others, or to generate media interest.
Why would a supposedly intensely private guy who has a security clearance and wants to avoid publicity launch a lawsuit guaranteed to create a national and international media circus? And of course force him to hand over a lot of information in discovery - like Seth's and his phone records, computers, etc.
I’m not getting this could someone explain?
