Let's change the color so as to not place a stain on Captain Underpants. How about brown?

Crosspost from Frank:

NEW: Lindell's new liefest is out on YouTube (until they take it down). This is "Absolute Interference"... heard he ran it on Frank yesterday, OAN gets it for a few days, it's not on Frank or LindellTV.com but this dude must have downloaded it and is reuploading it now. Typical hysterical delusions.

Since when does Michael Flynn know a fucking thing about elections?

I tried watching it (in incognito mode, so as not to make the algorithm think I want more videos like this). I made it through approximately 2 minutes before I wanted to hurl my laptop out the window.

The entire list of experts that have been trotted about during all of this has been those with no election experience nor any experience with electronic elections systems. It is the only "experts" they are able to find and since their followers determine expertise by "they say what I want to hear," they just go for a well-known name, if possible.

These MAGAts would let Flynn perform their brain surgery and consider it their honor.

Forgive me if this has been covered.

I went back and read the original WSJ article in the first post of this thread. The article says that Dominion is suing both Mike Lindell personally and suing the MyPillow company, as well.

I understand suing Lindell, as he is the one making the outrageous claims.

I don't quite understand why the MyPillow company should be a defendant. I realize that, as principle owner, Mike Lindell essentially IS MyPillow, but legally the two are separate entities.

Is Dominion alleging that Lindell was speaking, not in his personal capacity, but in his capacity as CEO of MyPillow?

Did Lindell use company resources to conduct his alleged defamation?

Were any of the defamatory statements released on corporate letterhead or the company's website?

Is there any chance that the court will dismiss the corporation as a defendant?

Two points: First, allowing Flynn to perform brain surgery on MAGATs assumes they have brains, so objection, assumes facts not in evidence; Second, even if we allow for the existence of MAGAT brains, they are clearly already so damaged and beyond repair that it is possible Flynn surgery would not result in any further injury. In fact, mutual frontal lobotomies might be considered a success.

I think he used promo codes and such to promote his brand of disinformation.

The suit filed on Monday tells the tale of a twenty-first-century snake-oil salesman who capitalized on Trump’s pathological need to pretend he won the 2020 election in order to sell pillows to gullible Trump supporters—victims of yet another scam at the behest of their dear leader. The story reads like a slimy mix of greed, lies, and false victimhood—a fitting culmination of the failed presidency of Donald J. Trump, himself a reality TV star who faked a successful career in business all the way to the White House.

According to the complaint, Lindell’s scam involved payoffs to conservative news outlets reliant on his advertising dollars in exchange for airtime during the election season, spurring a 30 to 40 percent hike in sales. As a cable news “talking head,” Lindell plugged his pillows under the pretense that he had the dirt on Dominion that could produce a second Trump term—offering promo codes like “QAnon,” “FightforTrump,” “45,” and “Proof” to lure consumers into snagging up to 66 percent savings on his merchandise.

Lindell has lodged a Motion to Dismiss (via one Earl Mayfield who doesn’t appear to be admitted to appear). So it seems that he along with Powell and Giuliani don’t want to put there overwhelming evidence of fraud before the courts.

ETA. “their” not “there”. I swear it was my iPad wotdunnit.

How do you expose the fraud if you do a quick MTD. No discovery, no depositions? I thought he was looking forward to exposing them on their own lawsuit.

War may be war, but bidness is bidness. And fighting this war is definitely bad bidness

But not to worry, I don't think this MTD will be granted (although the one Dominion may file to dismiss Lindell's $1.6B suit against them might be).

...Mayfield is admitted...

Thanks. Possibly my wording and/or lack of knowledge, I thought an attorney had to file a “notice of appearance” with the court.

A ninth rank lawfirm with third and fourth rank lawyers. Impressive!

My Cousin Vinnie

[noblepa]

My Cousin Vinnie was unavailable I guess.

At least Vinnie Gambini won that case.

Maybe Lindell's new lawyers can enlist Marissa Tomei as an expert witness.

A flash from the past.

Hey, remember con man Dennis Montgomery, "The Man who Conned the Pentagon," Joe Arpaio and Mike Zullo back in 2015-16? Well, it appears that his bogus telecommunications metadata has been mined again for another willing victim, Mike Lindell. Lead Stories has traced data cited by Lindell in his election fraud claims to none other than Dennis Montgomery.

https://leadstories.com/analysis/2021/0 ... immel.html

Summary: Mike Lindell's video series allegedly proving fraud in the November 2020 elections relies heavily on digital evidence in the form of files and animations that Lindell claims show attacks on the U.S. election infrastructure coming from China and other places. Lindell has never acknowledged where these files and animations came from. Lead Stories traced them back to a website apparently run by Dennis L. Montgomery, a man with a long history of being closely connected to cases involving fraudulently manufactured evidence. We are making these files available in this article so anyone can examine them for themselves.
