Judge rules Jen Psaki must be deposed in lawsuit over alleged 'collusion' with Big Tech to censor speech
Fox News ^ | Nov 21, 2022 | Brianna Herlihy

Monday’s order follows a ruling from U.S. Magistrate Judge Ivan Davis, who on Friday transferred the case back to Louisiana after Psaki attempted to fight the deposition in a Virginia court where she lives and would be deposed. Biden’s Justice Department supported her effort.

"Ms. Psaki’s effort to eliminate or delay her deposition in this action had failed because of the swift action of two judges in widely dispersed courts, one in Virginia and one in Louisiana, and by the implausibility of her reasons for not testifying as to Federal efforts to censure social media that made quick resolution possible," John J. Vecchione, senior counsel for the New Civil Liberties Alliance, said in a press statement. NCLA supports the lawsuit against Psaki.

Republican Attorneys General Eric Schmitt of Missouri and Jeff Landry of Louisiana first filed the lawsuit in May, accusing top-ranking government officials of working with the giant social media companies Meta, Twitter and YouTube “under the guise of combating misinformation” in order to achieve greater censorship.

...........................
In October, Judge Doughty ruled that Psaki and other high-ranking administration officials, including Dr. Anthony Fauci, should be deposed.

.........................

“After finding documentation of a collusive relationship between the Biden administration and social media companies to censor free speech, we immediately filed a motion to get these officials under oath,” Schmitt said in reaction to the Oct. 21 ruling. “It is high time we shine a light on this censorship enterprise and force these officials to come clean to the American people, and this ruling will allow us to do just that. We’ll keep pressing for the truth.”


From the article.

Hopefully Psaki will get a full four year gig in the Big White House.

It’s not alleged, and collusion needs to be out of quotes.

The government, under democrats, colluded with some big tech platforms to defraud us of our constitutional right. This is a crime deserving of jail time.

Well, the way the media are, they often say someone “allegedly” did something, until and unless convicted of a crime.

This saga is very confusing, last week a federal hack judge shielded Peppermint patty from a deposition with a ruling...

So hopefully the deposition happens soon, before another twist in the story occurs.

Unless that someone is a conservative Republican.

Psaki and Fauci should be deposed for 10,000 hours each.
