After being SO EXCITED with Ivan's Fantasyland, last night Mike was very agitated. He teased (but didn't explain) that today there would be a story "that would probably be #1 in the USA... and probably the WORLD". :lol:

Well, not #1 but here it is:

🚨
Lawyers bail on MyPillow’s Michael Lindell, saying he owes millions in fees
Citing shortfall, two law firms seek to terminate representation of 2020 election denier.
By JOSH GERSTEIN 10/05/2023 01:58 PM EDT

Prominent election conspiracy theorist and MyPillow founder Mike Lindell faces money woes so serious that two law firms defending him are seeking to dump him as a client. A Minnesota-based law firm, Parker Daniels Kibort, and Washington-based Lewin and Lewin notified federal judges in Washington and St. Paul Thursday that they are owed millions of dollars in legal fees by Lindell and his company in connection with lawsuits where voting machine makers Smartmatic and Dominion Voting Systems and a former Dominion employee are suing Lindell for defamation.

One of the attorneys, Andrew Parker, said in court filings that MyPillow stopped paying his firm’s invoices on time this year and has paid only a fraction of them in recent months. “Beginning in August 2023 and again in September 2023, PDK warned Defendants that if they did not pay the outstanding invoices and continue to pay new invoices as they came due, PDK would have to withdraw its representation of Defendants,” Parker wrote. “Two relatively small payments were made in August 2020 and two relatively small payments were made in September 2023, but these were only a fraction of the total owed….At this time, Defendants are in arrears millions of dollars to PDK.”

In an interview with POLITICO Thursday, Lindell acknowledged he hasn’t paid the lawyers and said he doesn’t fault them for seeking to pull out. “These guys were courageous lawyers. They took on the case when nobody else would….Over the last two months, we haven’t been able to pay these lawyers at all,” Lindell said. “They came to me and said we can’t go on if we can’t get paid. I said, there’s no money.”

Lindell said his company experienced money woes in recent months after American Express cut a line of credit he had from $1 million to $100,000. At the moment, he said, he needs to use all the funds he has access to to make payroll for his company. “The lawfare has just ran us out of money. That was probably what they wanted to accomplish in the first place. It’s disgusting,” he said. While Parker’s submissions said Lindell is trying to line up new lawyers, he said he has no immediate prospects on that front. “People are going to be afraid to be lawyers. I don’t know where I go from here,” he said.

1. Git can back me up, Mike Lindell uses the word DISGUSTING every single episode. I propose a new drinking game: Have a shot or sip every time he says DISGUSTING.

2. Mike faces civil cases, right? What happens when a defendant like this can't pay for legal counsel? Can they still get court appointed counsel? Or does he have to go pro se (which would sure be something).

3. Where the hell is T**** in all this? Why isn't he cutting checks to pay for Lindell's defense? Mike did all this for Donald he says.

4. Lindell is looking for new lawyers -- its almost like he's asking for Fogbow's help! Any lawyers here want to get on the Lindell Train? Foggy? Mike can't pay fiat currency, but all the linens (and slippers) you want and a feeling of SATISFACTION.

Updated the Lindell tab on our Protopage: Added Smartmatic v Lindell. It also has Dominion v My Pillow, Zeitman & Coomer v Lindell. You'll see the entries there: https://protopage.com/birthers#Lindell_Zeitman_Coomer

No appointed counsel for civil cases.

Maybe a certain SUPERSTAR Court Reporter could do the work for Lindell if he goes pro se? It doesn't sound like much work... :P

During the interview with Bannon on this issue, Lindell mentioned more than once that MyPillow was an employee-owned business and they are being hurt by the lawsuits. Did the employees have a voice before Lindell took the company funds on a political crusade? Pretty sure the employee-owned company employees did not agree to it.

If only he had just stuck to making his Lumpy Pillows.

If only tfg had stuck with his lifelong business plan of fraud and not ridden down that escalator.

Oh well. :shrug:

If he's having trouble making payroll and his line of credit is almost gone he's in serious trouble. If something doesn't change soon Lumpy Pillows will be bankrupt and Mikey will be looking for work.

Parker Daniels Kibort Is representing Lumpy
In the Zeidman case.


I wonder if they've filed to withdraw in that case as well?

Parker Daniels Kibort have, together or individually, appeared previously on the Fogbow. I assume that having got to the point where their dubious advice is no longer profitable they can now honourably retire from the scene after taking a substantial amount of Mikey’s wealth with them. It would be interesting to inspect their billing.

Generally, a corporation has to have an attorney, or it might could default or sumpin'.

But Mikey can always represent himself personally. He just can't represent the corporation.

If he can't pay his own lawyers, he might could have trouble paying any adverse judgments against him. I think Dominion and Smartmatic (and I :biggrin:) are going to have to settle for seeing him flat broke and living under a freeway overpass in a refrigerator box.

Very sad. I suppose this makes woodworker very, very sad. :batting: :nope: :rotflmao:

He wouldn't even be able to afford a van, down by the river.

Which is a shame because I think he has the very essence Chris Farley was trying for in that character.

Estiveo recommended the CHAMPION team (if Foggy is passing) & he's totally right: Orly Taitz & Leo Donofrio! GG said CEL3 can clerk it. It's a fantastic idea and I call upon my supporter to DEMAND Taitz represent Lindell in 3 trials: Dominion, Smartmatic & Coomer. Super organized Orly can do it with eyelashes tied behind back!

A caller asked the same question he did a few months ago: Why can't T**** exclusively use MyPillow products at his hotels & properties? Good question. Mike stammered and mumbled something about "donations to election causes" and "I don't know if I could do hotel pricing".


Quick 🧵 about Mike Lindell's lawyers withdrawing because he's broke. On tonight's Lindell Report, Mike was out of control, crumbling & manic. Everybody warned him. He brought this on himself. I feel bad for his MyPillow employees.

I don't. If they're still working for MyPillow after all this time and after all this howling insanity, they are complicit.

I do love the idea of Orly Taitz and Leo Donofrio stepping up to defend Rudy, Lindell, Trump, and all the other loser deadbeats because real lawyers are withdrawing.

Can't you imagine the movie trailer for Pillow Wars Replumped: Birthers Assemble!

Inside a courtroom: the judge sternly starting to pass verdict on a worried but bravely stoical Mike Pillow, then a thunderous crash, the doors swing wide open, and in strides an echelon of birther lawyers and constitutional experts :nope: Taitz, Donofrio, Apuzzo (yeah, why not, clang clang! bring up your dead!), Darash/Vidurek, Laity, that other fuckwit on Rondeau's shitarama whose name I can't recall, the lot.

The echelon marches in, stops in the well, all eyes on them. At their head, Taitz, in gleaming white blouse and double strength eyebrows. She screeches: "Let Me Feeeneesh!!" The judge, visibly shaken, drops his Joe Biden campaign coffee cup and asks in a quavering voice: "What is it Mrs. Taitz Esquire?" His face turns ashen as Taitz turns to face the body of the courtroom and announces "We have Enlarged Exhibits!"

Not for nothin', but it should have been "Dr. Taitz, Esquire," no?
