The issue as I see it is that unless everyone involved is held personally accountable, nothing will change.

Even if NYT has to pay a fairly hefty sum, they'll probably still walk away thinking it was worth it because they discredited Veritas at a critical point before the election and because the damage to Veritas is done.

"This ruling means Project Veritas will now be able to put New York Times reporter Maggie Astor and New York Times executive editor Dean Baquet under oath where they will be forced to answer our questions. Project Veritas will record these depositions and expose them for the world to see."

That's from the article, it is his goal.

i seem to remember lying under oath is a chargeable offence...perhaps the goal is not the oath but to create political theater of some sort under veritas's control and use that as a focal point for a barrage of articles to what end i can only speculate as in the last line.

Nothing is a crime if you're on the Left

Fixed that for you, sadly.

true and im thinking that might be what they want is for them to do their usual bs and slam them what good it will do probablly not much but hey you never know perhaps folks (not mainstream mind you) will pick it up and run with it and it will get some awareness of corse just as likely pigs start flying and democrats start chugging holy water

Is the NYT bankrupt? No? Then it wasn't a major legal victory. It was "a" victory, sure, but hardly major. The damage has been done, and a payout or a whispered apology edit in the far reaches of a long-dormant article isn't going to change anything.

So they hope to get NYT in depositions? They've gotten plenty of people on camera to confess to some pretty horrific stuff, and little if anything has come of it. I respect Veritas, they do necessary work, but this does not make me amped or hopeful for anything in particular. I do hope I am wrong, though.

A precedent has been set, at least.

Just so everyone is aware, in NY the "Supreme court" is actually a local/district court, not an appellate or high court. NY likes to make it confusing for everyone for no reason.
