Alex Jones on Friday lost his bid to shield internal Infowars records sought by lawyers suing him on behalf of the families of several victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in Newtown, Connecticut.
Ruling from Connecticut State Superior Court, Judge Barbara Bellis granted requests for business documents desired by attorneys suing the Texas-based media personality and Infowars publisher for defamation.
“From the beginning, we have alleged that Alex Jones and his financial network trafficked in lies and hate in order to profit from the grief of Sandy Hook families. That is what we intend to prove, and today’s ruling advances that effort,” said Chris Mattei, an attorney representing plaintiffs in the lawsuit.
“We look forward to gaining access to Infowars’ internal marketing and financial documents to show that Jones has built an empire as nothing more than a conspiracy profiteer, as alleged in our complaint,” Mr. Mattei said in a statement.
Jay M. Wolman, an attorney representing Mr. Jones in the case, did not immediately return a message seeking comment.
Lawyers representing the families of several victims of the Sandy Hook filed the civil suit in May 2018, seeking damages over what they called a “years-long campaign of abusive and outrageous false statements.”
“Even though overwhelming — and indisputable — evidence exists showing exactly what happened at Sandy Hook Elementary School on Dec. 14, 2012, certain individuals have persistently perpetuated a monstrous, unspeakable lie: that the Sandy Hook shooting was staged, and that the families who lost loved ones that day are actors who faked their relatives’ deaths,” attorneys for the plaintiffs alleged previously.
Authorities determined Adam Lanza, a 20-year-old former Sandy Hook student, fatally shot his mother at their Newtown home prior to

The increase in mass shootings mirrors the increase in psych meds given to boys for a fake disorder called ADHD.
How is what Jones says different from the Ds telling Angel Moms that illegal immigration is a manufactured crisis?
Jones is about to find out there are consequences for goofing on the graves of dead kids.
I don't disagree with you about Alex Jones, I just want the same standard applied to the likes of Jim Accosta, Rachel Maddow, the totalitarian left-wing lying Media and the Hollywood elitist scum.
I don't think that's too much to ask.
No consequences for CNN trying to deny my civil rights on the graves of dead kids though huh?
If CNN could deny you of your civil rights, they would be gone right now.

There are no consequences for “goofing” on the graves of dead kids. For the Left.
Interviews following the event were too, very suspicious.
Yup...lies and hate are what greases the wheels of the anti-America crime syndicate known as the demoncrat party.
There ya go.
And where are the lawsuits against those who tell us open violent borders which have allowed upwards of 30 million to illegally enter this country is only a problem because of the racist promoting border security?
Fact is there are probably 20,000+ times more death and carnage than any Sandy Hook event.
So what, exactly (I repeat: EXACTLY, with references) did Alex Jones do/say that you categorize as “goofing on the graves of dead kids?”
I repeat once again: What, exactly, with references?
That’s dumb. You don’t sue because of someone’s conspiracy theory. This is just an attack on Jone’s free speech, nothing more.
Jones sailed a Kook theory as is Pelosi, the Ds and the media. Again, how is what Jones did different from claiming that murders committed by illegal immigrants is manufactured?
Shut up braying jack-donkey. He questioned it at the time in light of everything we were lied to from the USS Maine, to Gulf of Tonkin, to Kuwaiti Babies thrown from incubators, to Saddam’s WMD nuke program.
He never once said it did NOT happen. Not once and you can’t post proof that he did. He said look at it critically before you accept everything you are told about it.
On the other hand, let’s say for argument he did say it (he didn’t). How is that a crime or lawsuit material? He inflicted no tort on the families beyond hurting their feelings.
Since when do crime victims get to sue anyone who says something about the crime they were part of because they think it isn’t true?
And try to think three moves ahead. This is criminalizing having an unpopular opinion. Moron.
It's like the climate change debate: MAN'S FAULT OR GOD'S FAULT? If you believe it's GOD'S FAULT AND NOT MAN'S FAULT, YOU ARE A CLIMATE CHANGE DENIER!!!! Even if the Sandy Hook massacre was real, that DOES NOT mean Adam Lanza did it AND I DO NOT BELIEVE LANZA DID IT.
I ALSO DO NOT BELIEVE STEPHEN PADDOCK WAS THE LAS VEGAS SHOOTER AND THAT THERE WAS NO MOTIVE FOR THE SHOOTING AS WE'VE BEEN TOLD. AM I THAT STUPID? HELL NO I'M NOT AND I'M NOT ASHAMED TO STAND UP FOR COMMON SENSE, EITHER!
Regarding Sandy Hoax, show me surveillance footage from the school, then we'll talk. Also explain WHY Lanza's official date of death as recorded in the Social Security Death Index was the day AFTER Sandy Hook while all other deceased were properly recorded on the correct day.
And what ever became of the mystery of numerous houses surrounding Sandy Hook being paid off on the same day? Was that ever explained?
KNOWING WHAT WE KNOW NOW REGARDING THE EXTENT OF THE DEEP STATE'S OUTRIGHT CONTROL OF THE NEWS MEDIA, THEIR BEHAVIOR FOLLOWING BOTH SHOOTINGS IS HIGHLY SUSPECT AS A STAGED AND CAREFULLY CHOREOGRAPHED PRODUCTION.. REMEMBER, THESE ARE THE SAME PEOPLE WORKING WITH DEEP STATE HACKS TO DESTROY A SITTING PRESIDENT, KEEP THE CRIMINAL CARAVAN INVASION FLOWING, OVERTURNING THE SECOND AMENDMENT, ETC., SO.. BEWARE AND BE SKEPTICAL!!
Huh? Do you believe in the 1st amendment?
Let’s consider the following
1. Mr. Jones stated that Sandy Hook may have been staged? Whether true or false, why can’t he ask the question?
2. Mr. Jones did not believe the MSM narrative. So what. Any one with have a brain has to question MSM. Do you believe everything CNN tells you?
3. Mr. Jones reported that others did not believe the MSM narrative and gave alternative explainations based on the evidence that they presented on his program. Do you have a problem with that?
You might think Mr. Jones is an idiot and I absolutely support your right to state so. But, I think most people would disagree that his statement constutes a “hanging offense” or even any legal sanction.
Jones is not calling for people to be hurt or engaging in defamation. You can’t sue for “hurt feelings” He’s just asking questions. In fact, your statement implying that Mr. Jones should be subject to a hanging offense is closer (but does not reach the threshold) of speech that incites violent action against an idividual.
Ok, you let us know where the party line can be read. That way we won’t ever discuss or debate anything that is not mainstream.
Bunch of crybabies here start to cry the minute someone says something they don’t like, all while loudly crowing how much they support the 1st amendment.
They never stop to think how that could affect FR one day. Think ahead to the next time we uncover some fake story we are being fed.
Wait till Comey sues us for our theories. Wait till Hillary sues over Benghazi. Wait till Fusion GPS says FR slanders them.
A lot of people want Jones to go down. They would love the precedent.

Sounds like the they have standing to sue the dems. Good thinking.
