Lurch you need to clarify the below, as Fastlane is saying 'it merely reaching trial', even if thrown out and dismissed during trial.

If you are ok with your bet being on 'pre-trial motions' only, then fine, and i suspect it will get dismissed there. But the way it Fastlane has wrote it, it could go to tial, get dismissed quickly there and yet Fastlane would claim a win.

the clearer bet would simply be to bet that this case does not make it to a verdict without being dismissed on that path.

Fastlane specifically said with the James and COmey cases 'the indictments were the point', causing inconvenience and cost and legal peril, which was an acknowledgement that she never expected any of the cases to succeed and i suspect the same here.

No. I'm saying it WON'T go to trial at all. The case will be thrown out by any judge. Unless that judge turns out to be Eileen Cannon.

ok. just wanted to make sure things are clear because if it does somehow make it to court first, and then in the first motion by the defense it is dismissed as meritless, then you agree Fastlane wins, which is fine.

I also think it is most likely to get dismissed in pretrial motions, but a lot of judges are hesitant to not allow cases to get to trial and prefer to deal with merit based motions in the trial setting, so that reason i would not give Fastlane that type of win, if you are correct that it gets dismissed for the reasons you say but procedurally it just happens in trial and not pre trial. But that is up to you.

QP Lurch is a MAN OF Honor unlike you and the bet stands as written No changes after the bet will be made
 
the next hearing is Feb. 9, 2026. If the judge sets a briefing schedule for a Rule 12 motion and you start seeing focused arguments about whether the charged statutes even fit the alleged conduct (especially as applied to journalists), that’s where the real “dismissal odds” will become clearer.

In general, a pretrial dismissal after a grand jury indictment is uncommon, because a motion to dismiss typically can’t argue “the evidence is weak”
