Hosts at Fox News had serious concerns about allegations of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election being made by guests who were allies of former President Donald Trump, according to court filings in a $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against the network.
“Sidney Powell is lying,” about having evidence for election fraud, Tucker Carlson told a producer about the attorney on Nov. 16, 2020, according to an excerpt from an exhibit that remains under seal.
The internal communication was included in a redacted summary judgment brief filed Thursday by attorneys for Dominion Voting Systems.
Carlson also referred to Powell in a text as an “unguided missile,” and “dangerous as hell.” Fellow host Laura Ingraham, meanwhile, told Carlson that Powell is “a complete nut. No one will work with her. Ditto with Rudy,” referring to former New York mayor and Trump supporter Rudy Giuliani.
Sean Hannity, meanwhile, said in a deposition “that whole narrative that Sidney was pushing, I did not believe it for one second,” according to Dominion’s filing. […]
Fox’s counterclaim is based on New York’s “anti-SLAAP” law. Such laws are aimed at protecting people trying to exercise their First Amendment rights from being intimidated by “strategic lawsuits against public participation,” or SLAPPs. …

Fear and intimidation obviously works. This is like a bunch of the villagers swearing that, “We always knew the King was wearing a perfectly beautiful new suit of clothes. That snotty little kid who claimed he was naked is crazy.”
Thank you! I have no idea how people don’t get this!
The voting process..no matter the machine counting, hand counting, etc...makes NO difference because it is controlled at the local level with no accountability.
Over 100% turnout and massive, obvious fraudulent absentee voting in major population areas with no way to remedy the problem even after it is proven.
Pretty obvious...see Brazil and the rest of Central and South America. Commies abound.
Now that they have cheated their way to control AZ, NV, PA, (shouldn’t have...the polls were all wrong again..lol), our options are rather limited.
They're employees who will do what they're told.
You can make a better case that Trump could have and should have done more as President to prevent the election steal, than you can that he could and should be doing more now. I mean, he had a lot more power to effect change as President than he does now as a private citizen. As a private citizen he basically has the same tools to work with as the rest of us. He does have more money than most, and he does have the bully pulpit, but that’s not enough to guarantee success in the courts or with election law reform. Just today, with the Kari Lake decision, we saw, once again, how much the cards are stacked against any effort to seek justice on election fraud via the courts.
Why exactly Trump wasn’t able to do more as President to prevent the steal, I don’t know. But I’m not going to accuse him of being a traitor or an agent of Soros. And I’m not going to turn my back on our General because he lost a battle. The bad guys are hoping we do just that.
To put it bluntly, the election contest remedy is illusory in practice and a pit for the unwary. Democrat election lawyer and election theft strategist Marc Elias and his evil crew knew as much, which is why they knew that with billionaire financial and political backing they could get away with stealing the Presidency.
Sidney Powell, who is no election law expert but apparently believed in the judicial system, jumped into a buzz saw, not knowing how weak the election contest mechanism is against a massive, well planned and well financed election theft.
There are no journalists …… Being a journalist is hard work and dangerous. democrats kill babies. Killing a journalist is in a democrat’s natural state of being
And that right there is the problem with the fraud narrative.,
It would be impossible to keep such a vast conspiracy, involving thousands of voting districts, quiet.
Nobody in their right minds thinks that Biden got 81 million votes. That on the surface if laughable.
Election night alone also revealed the fraud. Five swing states, all stop vote counting, all shut down, and voila, just like that, Biden surges into a bare lead to take him over the top.
The whole scam was watchable and obvious.
Fox News is CNN-Lite, the home of Hannity’s vanity.
How can you “ not believe” something that is plain and obvious as the nose on your face?
The 2020 election was the biggest RIP off in U.S. history. And we let them get away with it.
Why do you want him to comment on an ongoing court case?
That is stupid beyond belief
You don’t know what goes on behind the scene
Trump has no obligation to do what you demand
cover the windows of their daycare centers and lets see what they believe...
The cia wanted everyone to look at the machines when the real fraud was mail in voting.
It could be that the machines were manipulated to produce fraudulent results. That takes Dominion off the hook, but there’s no doubt the election was fraudulent.
Trump gets 12 million more votes than in 2016? Biden 81 million?
That;s bull and everyone knows it.
And one more thing...If these also rans like Haley, Pompeo, De Santis and others think they’re going to waltz in here unopposed by Trump, they’re crazy.
I still support the man, and I think over 90% who voted for him in 2020 still do.
Ignore the ones on this forum who are telling us De Sanits is next in line.
So the Fox News host can stay with cop and there was not one single fraudulent vote cast?
If there is even ONE fradulent vote that defines election fraud regardless of the outcome.
So its ok if fraud votes where cast if its not enough to overturn an election???!
The sheer stupidity is amazing!
“Murdoch and Sons would have wanted the names ...”
Don’t forget Paul Ryan. IMO, he’s more dangerous than Murdochs or their wives.
Its infotainment.
Its viewers, commercials, salaries, and shareholders.
Its ALL corrupt.
Everything is corrupt anymore.
Perhaps it’s always been that way with instant access to mass media, the internet etc. and we are now able to understand and realize how deep the rot has always been there.
Three core issues...
(1) Trump lost the election by 43,000 votes, spread across three states.
(2) How many ineligible voters cast ballots in Wisconsin, Georgia, and Arizona?
Unknown.
(3) How many ballots had no verifiable chain of custody?
Unknown.
“it turned out Powell didn’t have any evidence to support her claim, “
It’s pretty clear that she did, as did Rudy. Didn’t you watch any of the hearings held in various states? There were hundreds of sworn affidavits in each location.
TPTB simply used the old Clinton “nuts and sluts” tactic to disparage these people weaken their credibility. And they were denied effective platforms to present the evidence.
Tucker, Ingraham, Hannity, etc., knew it was in the best interest of their careers to follow the company line.
