Ha! I hope this story is true, although the source is suspect. I’ll send CNN 5 of my pillow if they win, just to sweeten the pot.

Could make discovery interesting????

[LachlanMinnesota]

Maybe Mike can introduce his evidence in court, finally, that justifies his allegations - I think Dominion will have a hard time excluding that evidence if truth is a defense to a defamation claim. I would like to be in the courtroom when that happens.

Odds are 90% that Dominion tries to settle before trial to avoid the public admission of evidence, but they will drag it out past the 2024 presidential election before offering to settle.

Hawking your product in a broadcast that assails another party is not good.

Still, Dominion has to prove damages, and that’s where discovery will get fun.

[Reno89519]

Fine, let discovery and litigation proceed as at the end-of-the-day I am confident that the first amendment—Trump-related or not—will win. Otherwise, every one of us will be at risk of being sued for what we say or claim.

[Terry L Smith]

Dominiion’s got too many stories in too many states for it to be called defamation.

[Roadrunner383]

Does Lindell have hard evidence to back his claims? I hope so.

Defamation is hard to prove in a court. Aside from saying something false, there has to be some kind of intent to damage the other party. Since he apparently made the claim repeatedly, he can’t just say he ‘misspoke’.

[Fido969]

claims are inherently improbable, that his sources are unreliable, and that he has failed to acknowledge the validity of countervailing evidence

Then why is the New York Times still in business?

[fwdude]

They want the gross domestic product of a small country in “damages?” What a bunch of BS.

[Jim W N]

Meanwhile, Lindell should go after the FBI for illegal search and seizure of his home contrary to the 4th Amendment requirement for probable cause BEFORE such search or seizure.

[McGavin999]

So you don’t have freedom of speech? You can’t hold an opinion?

[PsechsySr]

Now, Dominion can no longer avoid Discovery...

Let the Games begin!

[CharlesWayneCT]

Hard to see how this company can have over a billion in damages to reputation when they only make 6 million or so a year.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

I hope Mike uses Johnny Depp’s Lawyers and not Amber’s. :)

[DocRock]

President Trump just filed a defamation case against CNN. Two can play this game. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-10-03/trump-sues-cnn-for-defamation-saying-network-fears-he-ll-run

[Revolutionary]

This is actually good news.

[xzins]

If he had any form of legitimate evidence, then it couldn’t have been reckless. Could have been wrong, but that’s not reckless.

[PghBaldy]

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson -— I guess she was chosen so black supremacists from Yorba Linda would know she is black without seeing a picture.

[stockpirate]

Ph no they have Mike trapped right where he wants them.
