Lots of people wanted to see the Dominion case tried because they thought it was frivolous, and that a trial would show the liabilities of the Dominion machines. Tucker didn’t say much, if anything, about the machines, some of his guests did, and some of those statements, like their ability to be remotely changed, have been shown to be true. I don’t know why they settled, but I don’t think they did it to protect Tucker.
