Ford pulls LR/Jag GLBT support due to American Family threat

Yes, the privilege generally has to be attorney-client, or attorney work product. Trade secrets doesn't cut it. And any litigant has a right to such non-privileged discovery right from the get-go, without any by-your-leave from the court (though the court is almost always necessary to get at the really juicy stuff that one side does not want to disclose)

Alex is right that it would be helpful to any lawsuit if the AFA gained financially by interfering between Ford and The Advocate, but it's not stricly necessary.

Oh, and pulling their own funds from a bank is not any kind of interference with that bank. Different animal altogether.
