I was just reading that - I agree. Whether or not it works is yet to be seen. Is that bridge to far gone already for Phil? He still gets the victory if they win and maybe won't have as much "whatever" on his hands/conscience.Trying not to completely burn the bridge is my guess.
That suit will continue to go on with or without them and they could and likely still would be subpoenaed if it comes to that or at minimum give a voluntary deposition.
