Dominion Sues MyPillow And Mike Lindell For $1.3B

[Gregg]

Excellent points, JPC. What a disaster for his family. But that's what you get for filing bullshit that tries to undermine democracy, no sympathy for Alec J. Beck.

On the bright side, maybe Alec J. Beck can start a new law firm with Trenton Garmon, Roy Moore's ex. Garmon & Beck has a nice ring to it.




It can be like this for Alec J. Beck.

Here's a 5/7/21 update from Trenton, no idea what's going on in this video and the music is so loud it's hard to hear. Unclear why he's distanced, what hearing and depo there was, etc.

#GarmonChildren you like to know what I am doing... Here you go. I love you kids!

During a time of being distanced we can always stay connected in prayer. Since my words in talking while I am away don’t paint the full picture, here is some of what I do. A hearing and deposition are not depicted but it is a good summary. I love Sydney, Judah, Josiah, Sarah Grace and James oh so much. You are wonderful children. Hail Mary. Praise the Lord. #dotheprocess #garmonchildren -Trenton Garmon aka daddy

Easy peasy lemon squeezy!

Interesting to speculate how many of his clients Beck is going to be able to take with him after being fired for such offensive stupidity. And even if he sensibly negotiated an hourly rate for his work as local counsel (all too often a high risk/low reward line of business), and further insisted that lead counsel be responsible for paying it ... actually, it's hard to imagine that anything relating to this epoch in Beck's career was done in a rational way.

My guess is one, assuming that "one" is My Pillow. And even then, how much work do they really have for a labor & employment law specialist?

My other thought was that he might be planning to hook up with some RWNJ think tank.

Sounds like there is a big field of RWNJ evangelical businesses out there that are in need of an attoney when getting picky with choice of clients and suppressing they empoyees.

Any idea what the salary range is was for Beck?

I'm going with the souls of ten slain children per annum.

...


Oh, did you mean money?

General counsel to be for My Pillow plus repping right wing nut jobs on the side is my bet.

Any idea what the salary range is was for Beck?

Most of the reports have said that he was an equity partner, in other words, owner of some share of the firm. So he was getting annual partnership distributions from that, as well as getting some chance of appreciation for the value of the ownership stake over time. BT has about 700-750 lawyers, and depending on the percentage who are partners (let's say 100 to 150 are partners), he probably lost something like $500,000 to $1,000,000 per year in profit sharing on top of his direct salary. Reports said he was a partner since 2019, so he probably hadn't paid off the loan he took from the firm to buy his partnership stake (they don't give it to you outright). And that stake probably hadn't appreciated much in two years, so they bought it back from him for roughly what he paid for it.

But he's not going to cruise from BT to another similar Big Law firm and become a partner somewhere else in a year or two. He's going to be shoveling shit for the rest of his career as a marginal solo practitioner because of this brilliant move. He'll be lucky to have a practice defending drunk drivers and shoplifters because Google will remember this little disaster for the next 50 years and any law firm thinking of hiring him will come across it.

Wonder what his wife thinks of his brilliant career move. And what will his kids think when Daddy won't be able to pay for their private school next year?

I've been out of town until now, but I checked, and (according to AmLaw) Barnes & Thornberg posted a profit-per-equity-partner (PEP) last year of $1,067,000. That's what this bit of tomfoolery cost Mr. Beck.

I just wish certain attorneys in my area who jumped into bed with Trump's efforts to overturn the election had been similarly unpersoned by their firm...

[filly]

PEPi isan average. I suspect the Minneapolis office is somewhat lower. Then the use a billable hours and client revenue calculation. So I’m guessing Beck was hauling in less. He may have seen My Pillow as a way to juice his numbers for 2021.

A mini-Mike Lindell that is mocking the pillow maven has appeared

[woodworker]

It is actually very crowded and over-flowing with patriots. It is just that they are so pale that the sunlight goes right through them. That and the fake news media uses CGI to erase them all from the video and pics. I mean, there must be 4 or 5 million people there, all the ones that showed up for trump's inauguration.

I signed up for two tickets. Is this being streamed anywhere?

[RTH10260]

They are surely practicing social distancing

Seems more like anti-social distancing

Frankspeech.com appears to be the best(?) view.

Eventually, somewhere between 10,000 (outside estimate) and 18,000 (crackhead estimate, still short of the "over 20,000" predicted) showed up. Reading the article might require a shot of Bourbon, these people are OUT OF THEY'RE PHUCKING MINDS.

Another attendee, Pam Putzier, said she had no illusions that the election would be overturned, and she admitted that the crowd made up a small minority. But she is hopeful that a military coup will lead to the arrest of members of Congress and the reinstatement of Trump.

“Kick them all out. Surround the place and put them all in jail… I can’t even imagine it, but I’ll tell you what — I pray every night,” she said.

Lindell with Alex Jones. Somewhere a galaxy exploded.

Hmm, only 399 views. Is the magic spell wearing off??

Alex Beck of the infamous Beck family. Seth Abramson says his brother and daddy were at the pre-insurrection planning meeting with Trump et al. One of them, I think his daddy, is all in with Trump and planning to run for Governor of his state. KellyAnne RestingBitchFace and Cory Lewandowski are reportedly running his campaign.

Keep an eye on the Becks of Utah. No relation to Glen.

Oh, this is GOOD. The civil "selective prosecution" argument is a sure winner :snark: :

Before the November 2020 election, Dominion neither challenged nor sued any of the cyber experts, politicians, or others who stated publicly that
Dominion’s voting machines can be, or have been, hacked.

Thanks for the links.

Oh, this will help! (Not.) From Lindell's Reply:

That same day, Lindell filed suit against Dominion and three Smartmatic entities, alleging causes of action for abuse of process, conspiracy, and multiple civil rights violations stemming from their efforts to threaten and sue him into silence. A courtesy copy of Lindell’s complaint in Minnesota is attached hereto as Exhibit A and is incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein.
