It's never a good idea to anger the judge. Yes, they do have a duty to be as impartial as possible in how they run the trial, but the angrier they get, the harder it is for them to take a charitable view to miststeps. This is what the judge was referencing in terms of credibility as a judge that trusts that they're being given honest answers has the lattitude to relay more on that with less evidence than one that has reason to believe that there's a bunch of lies and BS incoming from just one side. It's a bit like that case where the only evidence was a written document produced at the last minute that was allegedly decades old. It was printed with settings that are normal now, but were impossible at the time and it went from a trial where there basically was no evidence either way beyond the parties to the contract to one of them very clearly being a liar on that detail.

Which is rather telling considering how bad the stuff we know about is. They also settled so that when Smartmatic comes into court they can't referr to a verdict being entered against Fox for the same claims covering the same actions. Normally you can't referr back to a defendent's other actions except under specific situations to protect the integrity of the trial, but I don't believe that applies if it's a verdict covering the same fact patterns and same instances as the ones involved in a different trial covering a different party that was allegedly harmed by the defendant.
