Of course, it is always possible that Simpson thinks he got something that he can use or twist to his advantage. Like when he got an email document in Gailon's Rule 2004 examination about a future expansion of our case through adding parties, and then twisted that to mean that we were going to ask for more than we should in future discovery, using our discovery requests to prove it, even though our discovery requests predated Gailon's email.
