Breaking! DC Trump Appointed Judge Allows Dominion’s $1.3 Billion Defamation Case Against Giuliani, Sidney Powell and Mike Lindell to Proceed
GP ^ | August 11, 2021 | Jim Hoft

Newsweek reported:

A federal judge Wednesday ordered that three defamation lawsuits of $1.3 billion each filed by Dominion Voting Systems be allowed to continue after allies of former President Donald Trump filed requests that they be dismissed.

Rudy Giuliani, Trump’s former personal attorney, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell and “Kraken” attorney Sidney Powell are all named as defendants in lawsuits that will proceed, alleging that each of these parties made claims without evidence that Dominion Voting Systems had rigged the results of the 2020 presidential election by manipulating voting numbers.

United States District Court Judge Carl Nichols, who is a Trump appointee, wrote in a 44-page memorandum opinion, where he dismisses requests to block the lawsuits, that “Dominion alleges that each Defendant made defamatory statements about its role in the 2020 election,” according to court documents seen by Newsweek.

The document says “those statements are too numerous to summarize in their entirety.” But Nichols cites several examples of standout defamation allegations without backing as grounds for why the defamation suits should be allowed to continue.

“On the day of the presidential election,” Nichols wrote, “Powell appeared on One America News Network and declared that Democrats were trying to “steal the vote” from President Trump and that “they ha[d] developed a computer system to alter votes electronically.”

Gosh, I don't know what to think since Trump appointed judges have turned against him. On the otherhand, could this be a good thing and this judge is going to let the Dominion case proceed so Giuliani, Powell, and Lindell can challenge them with discovery?

Maybe Sidney will FINALLY release the Kracken. He’s certainly waited long enough!

May not be as bad as it sounds. It’s an opportunity for discovery and open disclosure if pursued properly.

In Michigan, Gov. Whitmer quickly ordered the Sec. of State to erase all the machines “to have them set at zero for the next time we have an election.” Which meant vital evidence was erased, which she knew was under legal challenge. And all those mysterious shipments after the vote watchers were gone and the lights were turned back on as “someone” did “something” with windows blocked inside the rooms.

My point: They destroy the evidence of vote fraud and then sue anyone who dares to SAY it was possible vote fraud.
NOT a free country any longer.

Oh stop you tool.

It’s a motion to dismiss. If the complaint makes a full sentence in crayon that might, kinda, make some sort of claim it doesn’t get dismissed.

This is what I just posted on another thread, discussing the drives and data taken from Mesa County, CO., and how it was foolish to obtain them in anything other than a legal manner, hence ruining that evidence to be used where it counts:

Dominion has sued many on our side for defaming them for saying they engaged in fraud. Hard legally obtained before and after evidence proving they engaged in fraud like this is INVALUABLE to the defendants, PEOPLE ON OUR SIDE. But fools can so easily SCREW UP EVERYTHING. If Dominion loses those lawsuits in court THAT IS HUGE, THAT WILL BE A GAME CHANGER.

Isn’t filing for dismissal SOP for defense attorneys?

Sorry but isn’t this what Gulliani, Powell and Lindell wanted Dominions to do to them? I mean they were begging for it for discovery. Then I see Lindell is pissed because he is allowing it to proceed.

It could be the judge knows it will give Dominion enough rope to hang themselves.

Many people have been praying for the wrong doing among us to be exposed.

May it be so, Lord. Let it be exposed for all to see.

Right or wrong, Dominion would be stupid to not sue.

No accusation against them has been proven...even if they were all true.

And their market position significantly diminished.

Not to mention, they have to act like they are totally innocent.

Even if everyone in the world knew they were guilty, they’d be crazy not to sue.

2020: "Dominion voting machines stole the election!"

New year, same thing.

That’s one possibility.

Another possibility is that the rule of law is more important than TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!, and that according to established U.S. jurisprudence so far the evidence indicates Dominion has a right to proceed with its defamation claims. Maybe they were defamed by Ms Powell and Mr. Lindell, maybe not. This is what lawsuits are for. Dominion and its employees have a right not to be defamed, and Ms Powell and Mr. Lindell have a right to defend themselves against charges that they have done so. You know, rule of law and all that.

Dominion doesn’t have a right as of now to a favorable verdict, but merely to proceed with its claim of defamation.

It’s important in a society that respects the rule of law not to judge the judicial system by its ruling, rather than by what the law says, and what happens in before and during the trial.

I’ll note that unless I am mistaken, so far Dominion and its employees in matters of defamation have yet to lose.

But maybe TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!, and so any court decision that goes against him (you know, like all but one during his several dozen lawsuits after the 2016 election, all but one of which failed at trial AFAIK, with the one exception being overturned on appeal, did) means the entire judiciary is top-to-bottom corrupt.

I dunno, maybe Mike Lindell and Sydney Powell are super-duper special, and so US defamation law doesn’t apply to them.

Because TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP! is more important than the rule of law, or something.

Dominion has a right to pursue its claims of defamation.

That a federal judge agrees doesn’t mean this judge is (along with the entire federal judiciary, I hear round these parts) corrupt. Nor does it mean he is engaging in some super-duper sophisticated strategy to allow Mr.. Lindell and Ms Powell to defame with impunity.

The extent to which many on this site have drunk the TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP! Kool-Aid since this awful man walked down the stairs in 2015 is truly disturbing. The country, and conservatism, are more important than TRUMP! TRUMP! TRUMP!.

If you think the judiciary is this corrupt (or this devious),you should probably stop wasting your time posting on FR and take up arms.

I hope and expect that I won’t get banned for this comment, but we’ll see.

Yup

THAT git’s her done:

“Many real world data mining applications involve learning from imbalanced data sets. [...] Key Method Unlike standard boosting where all misclassified examples are given equal weights, SMOTEBoost creates synthetic examples from the rare or minority class, thus indirectly changing the updating weights and compensating for skewed distributions”
