Have these people never heard of “discovery?”
Lying is not suable in the US.
LIBEL is - but oddly Dominion doesn’t seem to be saying that per se because then they’d have to present evidence.
They didn’t go after Bannon and The Warroom reportage?
Dominion clear threatening the 1st Amendment.
Lindell has much to say right now.
Doesn’t the plaintiff have to surmount NY Times vs. Sullivan first?
Never once heard Newsmax or OANN blame Dominion, but with them filing suit it really makes Dominion look guilty.
They must know they have the judge in their back pocket.
How are they going to demonstrate damages?
name one lie, and prove that it’s a lie- that they stated publicly while KNOWING it was a lie?
How are they going to prove it is a lie?
How are they going to prove that Newsmax KNEW it was a lie?
This is a BS lawsuit. Designed to drain money. Newsmax should immediately file for dismissal and all attorneys fees.
so these feckless news stations quit their reporting on it because they thought dominion wouldn’t sue them if they stopped- now they are still getting sued- Gee- who didn’t see that coming?
PROVE IT AHOLES!
YES ! Lets get those discovery hearings scheduled !!
Discovery baby....it’s all about the discovery.
Discovery to Dominion is like Canvas to Maricopa county.
I hope one of these Dominion lawsuits comes to fruition. The discovery phase will expose their machines to an audit and the democrats will try and stop it thereby proving they cheated, or it will come to fruition and prove that the machines were fixed. Either way, Dominion will be exposed.
Dominion is trying to bully Newsmax and OAN. They will shut up when the lawyers for the news stations demand discovery information, software evidence. This a slow walk, nothing more.
Newsmax already caved to the Dominion VP, Cooner, who was recorded back in March saying he’d prevent Trump’s election:
Newsmax settles a defamation lawsuit from a Dominion executive at the center of election conspiracy theories and issues an apology
