I think you are making a good point. This is not backtracking and it is not a betrayal of the people who believed her allegations or believed she had the proof.
This is a legal argument that her allegations were made in the political arena and that l, as such, they should be protected under the first amendment, and not be subject to liable and defamation laws.
Similarly, President Trump can not sue the Democrat party, or anyone else who said he murdered half a million people by mismanaging his administration’s covid response. Why? Because reasonable people would recognize that the allegations were made in the political arena, and would therefore not allow their opinions to be sufficiently influenced by them to result in liable or defamation.
It makes perfect sense that her lawyers would make this argument - and I agree that it has nothing to do with whether or not she still stands by her allegations.
Why the motion to dismiss?
I thought they were looking forward to their day in court?
To show evidence of voter interference and fraud within Dominion systems? To show how President Trump and the American people had their election stolen.
Or not.
