This is a bad read of what's been going on in this case, and Baldoni supporters should continue to believe it at their peril.  Baldoni's supporters are committing countless unforced errors and you guys continue to lap it up and fail to call them on it because you're trapped in an echo chamber.

A female plaintiff claiming sexual harassment and retaliation asks for a dep to be held at her counsel's firm because she can't get a straight answer from opposing counsel for four days re who will be attending and that it won't be mayhem, and opposing counsel's response is to mock her concerns and say they will just allow her security just to walk her into the building?

Shuster probably could have avoided this result had they filed a letter that said some of what they said here, but just phrased it in a way that showed they were serious.  "We take Ms. Lively's concerns seriously and can have additional security available to walk her in and out.  None of the attendees will be members of the press.  We are not looking for a media circus."  etc.  Instead he mocked and grandstanded, and now they aren't hosting anymore.  Absolutely unforced error.  [/quote]

The cynic in me thinks that it wasn't an error but an intentional choice, knowing it would lead Liman to grant Lively's PO, so they can now encourage the narrative that Liman is "biased" towards Lively. All they give up is hosting a deposition, which is really not the huge advantage people seem to be making it out to be, but the gain a chance to say "see, Liman gave her everything she wanted" so that if/when they lose on other more substantive motions down the road, they can complain about an ongoing pattern of bias. Is it a legally sound argument? No. Will it play in the press and with Baldoni's supporters on Reddit. Of course, it's already in action.[/quote]
