I don't know, by the time we got to trial (after 5+ years and tens of millions of Plaintiff Shareholders money expended) the federal government had sanitized many of the Smoking Guns that would have given any trier of fact the real facts needed to see what really happened behind closed doors in the federal government.
You can thank Executive Privilege and National Security exemptions to the rules of Discovery in the courts.
Lamberth quipped about all the evidentiary holes one time to the Gubmint lawyers (here Arnold & Porter) noting one time to their never ending objections, in essence - "that's your problem when the evidence is excluded".

I don't know what to make of it. They hired all these high profile lawyers to represent F&F shareholders, they go to court, at any level,, and consistently get their asses handed to them . . . sometimes by flunky government lawyers. Maybe we all should get together and just represent ourselves. Takes no talent or expertise to lose, time after time after time.
