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. …

“I’m asking where TF is tough guy Trump on these Dominion lawsuits.”
We don’t know the if/how/what about his involvement behind the scenes. He could be providing some heavy financial assistance to other defendants for their cases.
How would it help him in regard to 2024 to be on camera whining 24/7? People already KNOW the truth, and his constant nagging about it won’t help the cause.
... and when Demos have made the same claims for previous elections the silence has been deafening.
“the smart lie is and was always to lie that there was never any election fraud”
Well said. It just confirms the fact that they’re whores.
“Why exactly Trump wasn’t able to do more as President to prevent the steal,”
Immediately after taking office he appointed Chris Kobach to investigate and try to fix this — “Election Czar” or something.
To accomplish this, the states had to play ball, as elections are entirely in states’ jurisdictions. The corrupt states refused to cooperate in any way, including providing data.
No sense in continuing a project that has a zero percent chance of succeeding — ever.
Tucker fans hardest hit. Glad I never trusted the bow tied reader.
“There are no journalists …… Being a journalist is hard work and dangerous.”
There are a few. James O’Keefe — who has been silenced for now. Darren Beattie. Natalie Winters. MSM cable news would not ever give them exposure, though.
.
Sold out in order to keep their jobs at the cost of losing their cred. They can get away with this because of their ratings.
Their loss, not mine! I have never watched any of them since Nov 2020.
No one cares what fox hosts think.
Fox News hires JOURNALISTS, just like the rest. Otherwise, the term “2000 Mules” might actually be something that would get their attention.
“I’d like to hear Tucker Carlson comment on this. I’d be disappointed if he believed the fair election lies.”
He throws out sarcastic remarks about the supposed fair elections that garnered the “hermit” Biden many more votes than Obama got, as he did last night.
“I want to see Dominion shut down”
Is the problem with the machines themselves or with those that used the machines?
The user manual for at least one model explains how vote totals can be distorted, and there are legitimate reasons doing that, believe it or not.
A voting machine with electronic chips in it can be suspicious, because you can’t see inside those chips and know what they can do.
Regrettably, democrats have spokespersons that are not journalists and conservatives journalists are constantly silenced, as was you mention
Oh really? Please explain how Trump speaking put in support of his advocates who are being sued for a billion dollars apiece by Dominion voting systems is “stupid beyond belief.” Thank you.
I think there is fraud in the machines myself, or at least the potential for massive fraud to be conducted much easier. They need to go.
“But they failed to make the case, unfortunately.”
On the contrary, some statisticians did make the case, but the evidence was never allowed in any court, despite what the MSM maintains.
Exactly, that is the takeaway here.
I did watch a lot of the hearings, as much as I could, and Rudy did have a lot of circumstancial evidence of questionable behavior, but nothing explicitly criminal. That would have taken more time tomfind, but they completely gave up after J6. Powell came onto the case later, but didn’t have much other than accusations. I believed a lot of her accusations, regarding how machines can be manipulated, but there was no hard evidence that they were, unless you can point me to it.
Have you seen her defense statement in the Dominion case that claims no reasonable person would have believed her evidence in the Trump case? I’m sad to see he reduced to that, but it clearly shows Dominion is in the driver’s seat right now.
And they were denied effective platforms to present the evidence.
There was one county in Michigan or somewhere they got access to a machine, they kept telling us was the mother lode, but nothing ever came of it. There were many calls for Trump to send in US Marshalls to secure some but he never did. No one else did anything either.
Tucker, Ingraham, Hannity, etc., knew it was in the best interest of their careers to follow the company line.
If even Trump himself isn’t going to fight Dominion, doesn’t look like anyone is. Except the weak members of the herd that Dominion has picked off, being the Trump advocates like Powell, Giuliani, and Lindell, who have no choice but to defend themselves. Where is Trump, protecting his flock?
“Biden surges into a bare lead to take him over the top”
What put Biden over the top in all of those cases was MAIL in ballots. Detroit, Milwaukee, Phoenix, Atlanta, Philadelphia all produced enough paper ballots to give the state to Biden.
Old fashioned ballot stuffing was employed in each of these states. I do not believe it had anything to do with Dominion voting machines. I do believe in 2000 Mules. That people were paid to pick up ballots and drop them off into boxes in all the metro areas.
What we need to do is STOP mail in voting. Any place it is employed. We lose because it is too easy to cheat. I have yet to see ANY PROOF of machines changing vote totals.
