Stewartson accused Patel of being a "Kremlin asset," of trying to overthrow the U.S. government, and of planning the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of President Donald Trump...Stewartson told CNBC in a text message on Friday, "I was never served with this lawsuit. I just found out about the judgement from trolls on Twitter last week."

Patel's attorneys said in a court filing in March that after filing the suit in June 2023, Stewartson for months "dodged" accepting service of the complaint, which, as a rule, is required for a civil case to proceed.

The attorneys said they finally completed service of the lawsuit in late October 2023, when a person at Stewartson's home in California accepted a copy of the complaint.

Sore lewdzer.

Now he is laying the ground for a 5th amendment based appeal.

I was never "swerved."

I hope they seize whatever assets he has.

Stewartson is a whacko version of Joseph Goebbels, a propagandist who makes dark money from various hit jobs and fake DOSSIER STYLE news for the socialist left deep state power brokers.

Patel was right to nail him, and I hope he gets nailed again.

WHACKO:

I really, really doubt what this loser is saying. Being served notice of a lawsuit is a prime ingredient to getting the lawsuit in motion. Not to mention depositions and all the other lawsuit goodies that require this jerks personal attention.

Another prime ingredient to a lawsuit is having a defense attorney. I don’t think a judge would allow a lawsuit to go forward without a defense lawyer present in the case.

He’s a typical lib, where lying is his only defense.

The judge should sue him for defamation.

I’m waiting for the suits against Dominion that reverse their previous awards and bankrupt them.

May Kash find those incriminating documents.

A lot is left out of this story. Depending on local laws, if he was purposely evading service a court can deem him served. Then he’s in default when he doesn’t answer, and the plaintiff can get a judgment (upon proof of damages).

Dodging the process server is almost always a bad idea.
