I can tell you with certainty that right now attorneys for newly acquitted defendant Kyle Rittenhouse are working overtime. They are combing through every slanderous statement made about this young man. Every defamatory comment offered up before any facts were presented in a court of law is now under the microscope for possible litigation.
Who is at risk of being sued? Politicians, including President Joe Biden, then a candidate without presidential immunity, was the first high-profile person to declare that young Kyle was a member of an Illinois militia. He ran a campaign ad condemning “white supremacists” featuring a photo of the then 17-year-old. Several members of Congress, like Rep. Cori Bush (D-Mo.) took up the anti-Rittenhouse “white supremacy” chant, and even after the acquittal Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-N.Y.) called Rittenhouse a “murderer who is once again walking free.”

News reports say $60M lawsuit filed against Joy Behar and Woopie Goldberg
Good news!
I was curious why Facebook has a new promo saying how hard up it is to find a neutral ground in their decision to censor.
.....blah blah blah.....you have to see it to appreciate the absolute BS they are espousing!
Scared of being sued out of oblivion Zuckerberg, you rat!
Love it!!!!!
That makes me feel brand new. To see the two of them suffer would be justice.
The Feds are sure to be gunning for him yet because Chairman Xiden and the rest of the neo-Bolsheviks in charge can’t afford to let Winston get away with so much as a single act of self-reliance.
There are several of those ads, very serious and lofty. That latest is really interesting, asking for government "guidance" in censoring determinations. Hmmm.
“even after the acquittal Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-N.Y.) called Rittenhouse a “murderer who is once again walking free.”
Once again? Is there some other murder case Rittenhouse was involved in?
Doh! He’s looking to bankrupt them, good for him. $60 mill is exactly what Whoopi is worth.

What gets me about these Marxists is their extreme hyper-hypocrisy. They claim they care about people yet they push the most destructive political ideology in human history: Marxism. Maybe they should read that story that came out last week of North Korea executing kids for just watching a TV show.
These people live in something worse than hell, worse than death. Every atom of their being is enslaved to a fat pig, they have zero free will, zero free thought, they aren’t even afforded empathy as they believe all death is for the state. Me personally, anyone who pushes Marxism, communism should have their ass kicked pretty damn hard. To me it’s much worse than pushing Nazism. Nazis killed 25 million. Communists 100 million and incredibly they are elected into office in the USA! What the hell??
I certainly hope so. He deserves it.
Really? I hopes so..
AND they will keep shooting their mouths off. Never learn to shut up.
You are correct, the feds will some sort of obscure laws to charge him with, or probably some sort of civil rights violation. Even if they can't make it stick, the persecution is the punishment. Better chance of getting some sort of conviction with a federal jury, as the DOJ will make sure the jury pool is full of the "right" people to get a favorable seating of a jury.
A federal trial will be a political trial with DOJ guaranteed outcomes.
Including the major news organizations, I think a billion dollars would be appropriate.
That pic sorta captures the look of surprise he must have had on his face as his arrogance slowly drained out of his body.
Hopefully he can go the Nick Sandmann route and let his lawyers do all the talking from now on.
From what he said, that’s exactly what he is doing.......lying low
Letting his attorneys hash it out
Unfortunately - according to Rittenhouse himself interviewed by Tucker Carson - Kyle’s first lawyer claimed that Rittenhouse was a member of a militia. Which was false, but was promoted for fundraising purposes.According to Kyle’s version of events, his first team of lawyers deliberately kept him locked up unnecessarily instead of bailing him out ASAP. A real piece of work, that bunch . . .
As far as "then a candidate without presidential immunity” is concerned, that refers to the outgrowth of the 1964 New York Times Co. v. Sullivan decision - a “beautiful, unanimous decision with enthusiastic concurrences” by the Warren Court" - well, those are scare quotes. It puts in words in the mouth of the Bill of Rights never intended by the ratifiers of those amendments.
Sullivan reduces that rights of individuals - including presidents and judges, but extended to private citizens caught up in webs of negative publicity - to sue for libel. That interpretation of 1A was novel in 1964. Nobody in the founding era thought any such thing. Refer to the Ninth Amendment to understand why stretching 1A to compromise anyone’s preexisting rights under state law is illegitimate. The Bill of Rights was the satisfaction of a pledge to incorporate a bill of rights into the Constitution by amendment, and in no sense an effort to break ground in civil rights. Breaking ground would have risked controversy - precisely what the BoR was intended to tamp down.
The practical effect of Sullivan has been to increase the power of the press and of politicians who go along and get along with the press. That seems fine to anyone who thinks that the press reflects “a decent respect for the opinions of mankind." But look at the controversy over the Rittenhouse jury verdict. Criticism of that verdict reflects contempt for any opinion which dares to contravene the politics of the journalism consensus imposed by the wire services and their memberships. When it comes to danger to civil rights, it doesn’t get much worse without arbitrary denial of civil rights.
No individual journalist has the clout to control that journalism consensus; it is a consensus of cowardice.
