MyPillow’s Mike Lindell is broke can’t pay millions in legal bills: lawyers
The New York Post ^ | October 6, 2023 | By Associated Press

Attorneys who’ve been defending MyPillow chief executive and election denier Mike Lindell against defamation lawsuits by voting machine companies are seeking court permission to quit, saying he owes them unspecified millions of dollars and can’t pay the millions more that he’ll owe in legal expenses going forward.

Attorney Andrew Parker wrote in documents filed in federal court on Thursday that his firm and a second firm representing MyPillow in lawsuits by Smartmatic and Dominion Voting Systems can’t afford what it would cost to represent Lindell and MyPillow through the rest of the litigation. Continuing to defend him would put the firms “in serious financial risk,” he wrote.

It’s the latest in a string of legal and financial setbacks for Lindell, who propagates former President Donald Trump’s lies that the 2020 election was stolen from him, in part by rigged voting machine systems.

As long as he doesn’t fall back into drugs. That’d be my first and biggest worry. Beyond that, he’s a survivor, he’ll do fine.

Just what The Founding Fathers envisioned:

Attack your political enemies with lawfare facilitated by partisan stooge judges.

It is criminal what the Biden Lawfare Thugs are doing to this honest, hard-working and patriotic man. Criminal and disgusting.

Join the club. Most of Trump’s associates who engaged with Trump after The Steal are not only broke, but also facing jail time.

I’ve noticed recently no My Pillow TV ads which seemed to play on FOX every 10 mins.

I love mike and have sheets pillows and slippers but he bought the machine bs. People commit fraud not machines. And the easy way to add votes with the mail in ballot and no audit controls is just run the ballots thru the machines a couple of times (which there is video) Targeting the counters is much harder but that is where the fraud is.

I never watch O’Reilly podcast, but I did see the beginning of one recently where My Pillow was the sponsor

They are purposely bankrupting him. Speak out and we will shut you up and destroy you. Who will step forward when this is done who?

That’s not what got him into trouble. The deep state has zero to do with this.

The guy defamed a company. The company sued him and asked him to prove his claims. To date, he has failed to do so.

How is his stupidity a problem of the deep state?
