So, I just read all of that and my opinion has not changed. She has an
opinion and it may be ****ed up. She hopes it plays out in court even
though she has no fact of rigged election.

I can draw one conclusion though, by the time lawyers twist all of that
around the jurors will have a headache and no understanding of what they
are trying to conclude.


I am gonna have a headache from her long distance

nb: so far it is only a motion to dismiss, which is a decision for the judge alone, whether to let it get to trial

she has little to no chance to win this motion.

she generally admitted the obvious - that she said what she said

she does not dispute this. she disputes it did not rises to the defamatory level

it is going to trial and she knows it (unless they negotiate out of court settlement but that would take her to the $ cleaners)

Maybe she could cross-complain against trump, and say she was just
repeating what he told her and since he's the prez she believed him.

So whatever judgment is decided against her, he has to pay it.

Did stumpie say anthing about the voting machines? I can't keep track.


IDK, good question. If he did, I don't think it was much or we'd all remember
what he said. As I recall, Trump mostly kept his fraud claims mostly generic.
I don't remember him saying anything specific regarding Dominion that would
be defamation. Which is interesting now that you brought it up. Trump was
likely smart enough to not take the risk of being sued for defamation. He's
been around that process in the past. So he probably just egged on his minions,
let them spew forth all the specific lies
and now they will have to defend themselves and suffer the consequences.
Will be interesting to see what happens. Will Trump pay their defense bills?
Does he have a contract with Rudy that requires it? I doubt that. If they lose
and the judgement is for a few million, will Trump pay it? What if it's a
judgement for $100 mil? I think we know the likely answers to all that based
on Trump's history.....
