https://edition.cnn.com/2023/03/21/media/fox-news-producer-lawsuit/index.html

A Fox News producer on Monday filed a pair of explosive lawsuits against the right-wing talk channel, alleging that the network’s lawyers coerced her into providing misleading testimony in Dominion Voting Systems’ $1.6 billion defamation case against the company.

The lawsuits filed by Abby Grossberg, who worked as a senior booking producer for Maria Bartiromo and most recently head of booking for Tucker Carlson, accused Fox’s legal team of having engaged in wrongful conduct as it prepared her for a pre-trial deposition in the election technology company’s case.

"Giving him another term, Trump said, would make the GOP an 'unstoppable juggernaut that will dominate American politics for generations to come.'"

Yusef Salaam, one of the wrongfully convicted Central Park Five, is running for a New York City Council seat in Harlem.

The NY Times - A Man Whom Trump Reviled Is Running for Office in Harlem

April 17, 2023

Yusef Salaam, one of five Black and Latino teenagers wrongfully convicted of a 1989 rape in Central Park, is finally where he seems to belong: on the campaign trail.

This is the man whose arrest prompted Donald Trump to publicly call for the death penalty in 1989 when Mr. Salaam was just 15 and charged with four other teenagers with a horrific crime that they did not commit.

Mr. Trump took out full-page ads in four New York newspapers, calling for the restoration of the state death penalty over the case.

In 2002, the young men were exonerated after serving years in prison. Mr. Trump has refused to apologize. ...

“It was karma,” [Salaam] said of Mr. Trump’s legal situation ... “I hope he’s able to do the time,” he said, with a hint of mischief in his eyes.

Although De Santis hasn't officially announced he's going to run in 2024, a PAC that supports him has already started running ads attacking Trump. I heard on RNZ Checkpoint tonight that Trump's crowd are doing something similar as well.

Here's a look at the ads from both campaigns (Trump's one starts at about 8:30):

As the defamation trial between Dominion and Fox gets under way, CNN takes a look at what Dominion is suing over:

https://edition.cnn.com/2023/04/17/media/dominion-fox-news-allegations/index.html

Jeez, they must have loved Sidney Powell. Ironic that later on she even said herself that she was talking bs.

Final quote from this bunch of clowns goes the My Pillow guy, very appropriate:

The broadcast: “Tucker Carlson Tonight” on January 26, 2021.

What they alleged: Election fraud.

Key false quote: “Every outlet in the country, they go, ‘Mike Lindell, there’s no evidence, and he’s making fraudulent statements.’ No. I have the evidence. I dare people to put it on. I dare Dominion to sue me because then it will get out faster. So, this is – you know, they don’t – they don’t want to talk about it,” Lindell said.

“No, they don’t,” Carlson said.

Be careful what you wish for, Mike Lindell!

In the US, an individual voter, the popular vote, do not directly elect the President. "An Electoral College" elects the President

You'll remember the plan to reverse the outcome of the 2020 election by creating false electors pledged to Donald Trump. To say it was a dumb idea is giving them too much credit, unless they were pardoned by El Presidente in 2020.

These fake electors are being prosecuted in Georgia, Fulton county.

The lawyer defending the false electors failed to tell the traitors about an immunity deal (probably because this would implicate other traitors, and make the prosecutor's job easier). To make things more confusing, the traitors are throwing their own defending attorney under the bus

A side note, it's bizarre because "Electoral College" does not appear in the U.S. Constitution. Five times in history, presidential candidates have won the popular vote but lost the Electoral College.

CNN: Fulton County DA says fake Trump electors are incriminating one another and wants lawyer disqualified

The Fulton County District Attorney’s office said some fake electors for Donald Trump, a group of 10 Republicans, have implicated each other in potential criminal activity and is seeking to disqualify their lawyer, according to a new court filing.

...The DA’s office also accused the lawyer of failing to present an immunity deal to her clients last year, according to the filing.

The new filing offers the latest indication that immunity offers could still be in the works months after it was suggested charging decisions were “imminent.”

It notes that investigators interviewed some of the fake GOP electors this month and there is jockeying behind the scenes ahead of the announcement on who, if anyone, will face charges in the long-running probe into efforts by Trump and his allies to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia.

“The statement of some of her clients that directly implicate another client in additional crimes shows that [defending attorney’s] conflicts of interest that rise to the level of her being disqualified from this case in its entirety,”

...During the April 2023 interviews, “some of the electors stated that another elector represented by [the defending attorney] committed acts that are violations of Georgia law and that they were not party to these additional acts,” according to the filing.

Thanks, that's quite good to have all that in a handy list. Lindell's comments in particular made me laugh:

Lindell told Insider Dominion had "zero, zero, zero" chance of winning. The lawsuits were part of cancel culture's attempts at silencing voices, he said.

"I looked at it as a great day for America when they sued me," Lindell added. "I can put the evidence for the whole world to see, and it'll be public record, and the media will quit trying to suppress it."

A federal judge has denied Lindell's motion to dismiss the lawsuit.

If he has all this "evidence" that he's right why the hell would he ask to get the lawsuit dismissed? Here's his golden opportunity to have his day in court and put forward all this so-called evidence he has but he doesn't want to take it? Spare me.

Reminds me of his comments here: https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/12/24/worst-politics-predictions-2021-525853

Trump will be reinstated as president after the Supreme Court somehow overturns the 2020 election

Predicted by: Mike Lindell, many times

March 26: “All the evidence I have — everything — is going to go before the Supreme Court, and the election of 2020 is going bye-bye. … Donald Trump will be back in office in August.”

March 30: “I said Donald Trump will be in [the White House] in August. And I fully believe that myself: he’ll be back in.”

May 25: “Donald Trump … will be back in by the end of August.”

June 2: “These are facts: We have a clear path to pull this election down. … [On the Supreme Court,] it’ll be 9-0 — down comes the election, and in August, here comes Donald Trump.”

June 5: [On the August prediction] “I could be off by a month or so, I don’t know.”

July 4: “By the morning of August 13, it’ll be the talk of the world, going ‘Hurry up! Let’s get this election pulled down. Let’s … get these communists out, you know, [who] have taken over.’”

Aug. 21: “It’s Trump 2021, 100 percent: Trump 2021. This election, when it does get pulled down, there were so many down-ticket [races] affected, maybe the Supreme Court, they’ll just do a whole new election.”

Sept. 21: “I made a promise to this country that — with all the evidence I have — that we would get it to the Supreme Court. And I predicted they would vote 9-0 to look at the evidence. … Originally, I had hoped for August and September. … We will have this before the Supreme Court before Thanksgiving. That’s my promise to the people of this country.”

Sept. 24: “We’re giving everything — all the evidence I have — [to] the Supreme Court. That will be done before Thanksgiving. That’s in stone.”

Nov. 7: “[The Supreme Court is] going to accept it 9-0. It will require a new election across the board. … [They’ll] declare the 2020 vote void and order new elections across the board.”

Nov. 17: “One week from today, on Nov. 23, the states are suing the U.S. government at the Supreme Court. It’s over!”

Dec. 17: [On the timeline for his long-promised 9-0 Supreme Court case] “It was gonna be today; it switched out til Monday.”

Let’s be clear: Donald Trump lost the 2020 presidential election. He lost by every possible measure. He lost the national popular vote (which doesn’t decide who wins). He lost the Electoral College (which does). He lost the swing states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. He lost each of them by margins far too large to even possibly be changed by voter fraud. He and his allies lost 61 state and federal lawsuits related to the election results. His claims of widespread fraud or a stolen election are baseless and themselves fraudulent. He has no rightful claim to the presidency.

And yet, Mike Lindell, the MyPillow CEO-turned conspiracy theorist, continues to predict, despite reality, that the election results will be deemed illegitimate, thrown out, and that somehow, this will make Trump the White House’s rightful occupant. How would this work? Unclear. Even if the election were somehow dismissed, why would Trump be given the office? Also unclear. When will this occur? Perpetually, someday soon.

What Lindell has done — repeatedly and confidently predicting Trump’s return to office time after time, missed deadline after missed deadline — isn’t just moving the goalposts; it’s … well, metaphors fail. It’s moving the whole damn field. It’s changing the sport entirely. It’s inventing a new game that only he can win, and then managing to lose said game, repeatedly.

The NY Times - Opinion - Why Fox Had to Settle

18 April 2023

WILMINGTON, Del. - It is deeply disappointing that Fox News settled the defamation lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Systems before Rupert Murdoch and his roster of celebrity propagandists had to testify.

But it is not surprising. Fox News, after all, had no viable defense. ...

Fox is paying Dominion $787.5 million, which appears to be one of the largest defamation settlements in history and is one that constitutes a humiliating admission of fault by the network, even though the deal doesn’t require Fox to apologize.

But the public will be deprived of seeing Murdoch, Sean Hannity, Tucker Carlson and several of their colleagues grilled on the stand, forced to reckon with the real world, unable to fall back on the dense lattice of misinformation that typically sustains Fox’s narratives.

At least, the public will be deprived for now.

Smartmatic is still suing Fox for $2.7 billion, though no trial date has been announced yet.

“Dominion’s litigation exposed some of the misconduct and damage caused by Fox’s disinformation campaign,” Smartmatic lawyer J. Erik Connolly said in a statement on Tuesday. “Smartmatic will expose the rest.”
