How about deported instead just for the irony of it?
LOL!
Pro Tip: When the Judge is spewing shit like “the Court doesn’t have ESP” and “I don’t care” at you, you done fucked up and pissed him off haha
Ginni Thomas? Makes perfect sense.
Bwahafuckingha!
Maybe Adams’s attorney will try to introduce the drunk Nancy Pelosi video in his client’s defense.
Obviously Bill Barr is going to have to investigate the phony, fraudulent origins of the Richmond Chapter of the League of United Latin American Citizens claims.
some 1,000 pages of documents — that were turned over after Adams had initially been deposed.
Emailgate in deed!
Corollary to Lawyer Rule No. 1 (Do not screw with a federal judge): Do not piss off the federal magistrate. He/she can make your life miserable.
(Magistrate Judges are like assistants to the Senate-confirmed District Judges. They handle day-to-day stuff in cases, like discovery disputes. They don’t suffer fools any more than do the District Judges.)
He declined Adam’s attorney’s …
Please don’t stick an apostrophe in the middle of a person’s name. The name is “Adams”.
“That’s how the process works,” Davis sternly told Adams’ attorney,
That’s better.
I hear his vehicle of choice with be a Senate “Un-American Activities Committee” that McConnel will obligingly put together for him.
This case is quite instructive. I have long felt that Democrats and other liberals have overlooked the potential to bring civil suits against parties who intentionally publicize false, often defamatory statements. A certain jurisprudential aggression is called for to deal with the metastasizing falsehoods of the internet age. The Pelosi video springs to mind: it is the visual equivalent of a written falsehood and is calculated to falsely portray Pelosi as a drunk and/or demented person. Figures like Jacob Wohl and Corey Lewandowski and Roger Stone should be drowning in discovery requests and depositions and legal bills.
Meh, hard bar to get over, as Nunes is finding out, particularly for public figures.
If you could even get the russians to send over the dude who made the video, how will you prove it’s not meant to be satirical, for example?
Probably more successful leaning on the internet hosts and going after advertising money generated from the video and things like that. I’d think there are stronger cases to be made to take down and recapture profits made off of one’s image and words.
Ginni Thomas needs to be exposed to high-heaven, and her husband should feel the heat and resign from the bench. His family is involved with the illegal act of fraudulently removing valid voter registrations from the voter rolls, thus serving a purely Republican agenda. He has forfeited his credibility to be an unbiased arbiter of the law.
When did he ever have any?
As the fraud’s slide says, “A Felony”!
Adams’ attorneys in a filing Wednesday suggested that the exchange was made public by the plaintiffs in an effort to “silence and smear” anti-voter fraud advocates.
[Emphasis added]
That’s the truth, right there. PILF is anti-voter, and they do advocate fraud.
Yeah, yeah, I know that’s not what was meant … but it’s still the truth.
Isn’t that supposed to be oranges???
I wish.
@castor_troy : At what point does libel become actionable by a “public person”?
The bar is not as high as people seem to think. You can still be sued by a public figure if you publicize a defamatory falsehood with actual malice–that is, you acted with knowledge of the falsity of the statement or with reckless disregard as to whether it was false or not. Like this:
I think the difficulty with these videos is proving who created them. Someone uploads it anonymously on the Internet and it gets widely copied and distributed. It may be difficult to find out which is the original and who uploaded it. Sure Lewandowski is promoting it as “real,” but chances are he didn’t have a hand in creating it. Can we hold him accountable if he argues he didn’t “know” it was fake (or insists that he doesn’t believe the claims that it’s fake)? And even if we went after someone like him, that doesn’t get to the people who did create it (who are probably not public figures).
