Alex Jones appeared shocked as he was told his lawyers had accidentally handed over hundreds of text messages by mistake after he told a court that they did not exist, after admitting that the Sandy Hook massacre did happen.
The InfoWars host squirmed in his seat after confirming his phone number was linked to the texts, after previously declaring under oath at the defamation hearing that there were no messages about Sandy Hook on his phone.
Jones was horrified to discover that his team sent a digital copy of every text and email about Sandy Hook, despite declaring under oath that they didn’t exist.
Attorney Mark Banston, working for the Sandy Hook parents, revealed that they received the information 12 days ago, spanning years.
Jones called it their ‘Perry Mason’ moment during the trial, with Jones being accused of perjuring himself while giving evidence.
He previously testified that he was unable to find any emails regarding the Sandy Hook massacre, and was shocked when one was shown on screen to the court.
Jones was asked if he felt repeatedly claiming the shooting was a hoax was irresponsible, replying 'it was, especially since I've met the parents.'
He claimed he was ‘under a lot of pressure’ at the time he claimed the slayings were a hoax, adding: ‘I truly meant it when I said those statements.

The “HOAX” is this trial.
Get it over with Alex so you can appeal.
“More two tier justice. CNN lied about Trump for 4 years straight.”
Then Trump can sue them just like anyone else can. He might even win. Nick Sandmann did, though he never would have if he acted like the negative Nancies around here who like to preemptively surrender.
“what exactly he supposedly withheld has never been made clear.”
Actually the article made it clear. Text messages from his own phone weren’t turned over as required.

“Did Jones’s text messages indicate his disbelief in the Sandy Hook massacre or not?”
I don’t know, I haven’t read them.
“However, if he held to the belief that the massacre did not happen, he is entitled to his opinion even if errant.”
He’s entitled to his opinion, but he’s not necessarily entitled to broadcast his opinion if that opinion is in the form of false or defamatory statements about other people. Or rather, to be more precise, he is entitled to do that, but in doing so he may make himself liable for a lawsuit like the one that he’s going through right now.
He’s both dumb and dishonest
Too bad so sad he’s cooked for a stupid PR stunt
He is suing them. I am confident they won’t get the Alex Jones treatment. Again because there is a two tier justice system. I suspect you already know that but you don’t care which makes you a part od the problem.
“Need the exact wording. He may not have had the items of interest in his control. He could have already deleted them from his devices.”
Exactly. I was asked for all the information regarding a project that I had worked on from years ago. I thought that I had taken photographs of a certain area but I couldn’t find them. I even paid a guy to search through two laptops to try to find them. No luck. I’m thinking I may have taken the photos but they never got copied over to my computers and were deleted off the camera (or it was on the camera that was stolen years ago)
I told all of that to my client. Luckily I haven’t heard any more about it in a year.
Looks like his layers will be paying more than Alex. His layers suck.
Uh, so why did the article state that the lawyers messed up?
Also, do you not agree with the 5th amendment?
Exactly. And his phone contents have been sent to the J6 fiasco.
All of them? Do you think they hold meeting somewhere? Wouldn’t it be cool if somebody could infiltrate and see what they’re talking about in there? (Yes, I’m making fun of you)
A plane did not hit the Pentagon on 911. It was a drone. Millions of people have questions about Sandy Hook.
OK....so all this....he’s not even allowed to mount a defense because of text messages....which as it turns out the plaintiffs had anyway?
I’ve never heard of such a ridiculous sanction from a judge.
You realize he went through days and days of depositions right?
Bingo. This is it exactly. The goal is to silence Jones. That has been the goal all along. He’s the canary in the coal mine for this kind of lawfare waged by the Left.
Remember when Big Tech really started censoring and banning? They started with - Alex Jones. “Oh no need to worry....its just Alex Jones” said a lot of naive people. Guess again.
Its the same thing here. I’m amazed some Conservatives are falling for it AGAIN.
“Do I take it that you trust CNN, Yahoo News, the Daily Mail, etc.?”
I can’t read your mind and you can’t read mine ...
“...but he’s not necessarily entitled to broadcast his opinion if that opinion is in the form of false or defamatory statements about other people.”
You evidently have never watched CNN, MSNBC, Morning Joe, etc. Nor have never read the major newspapers in this country. Nor have ever heard Hollywood stars discourse on Trump. Nor ever heard Homeland Security talk about Trump supporters.
The Alex Jones circus is not about Alex Jones.
It is about everyone else.
The government wants you silent and obedient—for fear that you may say something that is incorrect that may offend someone.
“Jones is a lunatic.”
First they came for the “lunatic” Alex Jones....
and then they finally got around to going after the last “lunatic”....
You.
“But I am not a lunatic” you insist.
They don’t care.
They want your obedience and your silence.
