We also have Trump's Doc 71, [Trump]'s Memorandum of Law in Opposition to
[Murdoch and the WSJ's] Motion[69] to Stay Discovery Pending Ruling on Motion to Dismiss First Amended Complaint [67]

It also suffers by being tied to the defects of the First Amended Complaint, but these aren't Trump's serious lawyers so the go too far.

> Defendants have not been served with any discovery requests.

— p. 15, Doc 17.

Yeah, no. These are the people who tired to get a deposition at a time there was no operative complaint. Much like Trump himself, his lawyers are losing a credibility war with AI-produced LEGO videos and Rupert Murdoch.

I think the judge is going to need a murder board to connect Trump's lawyers statement of the case and issues with the actual facts and laws which still seem mostly on Murdoch's side. Hopefully the reply briefs will be informative to the judge.
