JerryBaumchen 1,354 #608 August 4, 2022 Hi folks, Just when you think they could not be any dumber: Judge Friedrich said the defendant, Brandon Straka, was possibly opening himself up to prosecution for lying to federal investigators. Pro-Trump Influencer Brandon Straka Sternly Rebuked By Judge In Jan. 6 Case : NPR When my son was doing criminal defense work, he continually had to tell them, 'Quit talking.' Reminds me of Jay Leno's jokes about stupid criminals. Jerry Baumchen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Especially when the attorney also "accidentally" failed to claim privilege over the info. Perhaps he is just fed up with working with a gigantic asshole, and wants to see Jones get what he really deserves. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The lawyers only defense would be that they are innocent fuck-ups, no harm intended. I doubt the Bar would penalize them for being fuck-ups for simple reasons. But then that albatross is around their necks forever. The plaintiffs lawyer announced he would be sending the texts to the J6 Committee immediately unless the judged barred the action. She declined. Gotta wonder if there are bigger fish to fry in the texts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phil1111 1,149 #618 August 4, 2022 (edited) Alex Jones is reputed to have grossed over $100 million through fakenewswars. Together with his other endeavors.Obviously the affidavits surrounding his bankruptcy aren't worth the paper they were submitted on. With punitive damages in this matter still pending. Six other families of Sandy hook still to come. Lawyers should be busy chasing Alex's fat ass for a while. Perhaps its time to sue the radio stations and networks that host his defamatory b.s. and get some real money.
