Mike Lindell claims spreading lies about Dominion Voting Systems is good for business

 

Last Thursday night, MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell made a surprising admission to his loyal followers, considering that he faces a defamation lawsuit by Dominion Voting Systems for $1.3 billion. Lindell said his company has profited from his repeated lies about the voting technology firm — enough that the pillow king has recently hired an additional 200 employees. 

 

"We hired 200 more employees because — 200 more employees," the MyPillow guy stated on his streaming site, Lindell TV. "We had to hire more because we are busy. People have responded. They have responded out there. We are a USA company with — now we have 2,700 employees. They are hardworking people." 

 

In fact, Dominion argued exactly this in the company's initial Feb. 22 complaint against MyPillow and Lindell, alleging that the pillow tycoon had pushed unsubstantiated lies about the 2020 election and Dominion's voting machines in order to generate more revenue for his pillow empire.

Dominion ‘Extremely Concerned About Leaks,’ Asks Federal Judge to Prevent MyPillow from Abusing Discovery

 

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, the infomercial salesman who became a key Donald Trump booster, keeps pushing the same conspiracy theories that made him a defendant in a $1.3 billion defamation lawsuit by Dominion, the voting machine company’s lawyer said on Friday.

 

“The problem here in the lawsuit is based on the public figures making very public lies about Dominion,” Dominion’s lawyer Mary Kathryn Sammons said in a hearing. “Unfortunately, the lies have continued.”

 

As a result of the ongoing misinformation campaign, Sammons said, Dominion has continued to be besieged by threats.

 

“Some of those employees have quit Dominion because of those threats,” Sammons added, adding that this has caused the company “great harm.”

 

Since the filing of the lawsuit in February 2021, Dominion has notched significant procedural victories.

 

The Trump appointee presiding over the case, U.S. District Judge Carl J. Nichols, advanced the company’s case against Lindell, MyPillow and fellow pro-Trump conspiracy theorist Sidney Powell to discovery. In his August 2021 ruling, Nichols rubbished Powell’s argument that her factual claims about Dominion were nothing more than political opinions. The same opinion advanced Dominion’s similar claims against Rudy Giuliani.

 

Lindell’s bid to level counterclaims Dominion and Smartmatic, another voting machine company that he tried to rope into a tale of pro-Joe Biden international intrigue, fell flat. Judge Nichols dismissed the countersuit in May, leveling additional sanctions against Lindell for asserting “groundless” and “frivolous” claims.

 

With only Dominion’s case remaining in the discovery phase, Sammons said: “In the past, the defendants have not showed much concern for adhering to rules of non-disclosure.”

“We are extremely concerned about leaks,” she added, requesting a protective order.

 

Lindell’s attorney told Nichols that court records enjoy a presumption of public access, but the judge replied that, while generally true, that refers to information filed for the docket rather than transmitted between the parties for discovery.

 

Nichols said that he will give the parties an opportunity to designate documents for confidentiality before he takes any further action and reconvene in roughly a week.

Idiocracy in action:

 

The California County Where MAGA Took Control

 

Times are grim in the cowboy far north of California. Wildfires rage. Covid-19 lingers. Drought has stripped most of the snow from Mount Shasta and shrunken Shasta Lake.

 

But other business has consumed the Shasta County Board of Supervisors meetings.

 

“We’ve been duped!” one resident charged during an epic six-hour debate in July over the certified results of the June primary election. “We need to get rid of all electronics in our voting!” another exhorted during a two-hour August outcry over “rigged” equipment. This week, a woman in a “We, the People” T-shirt invoked David and Goliath, and a self-described citizen journalist said voters were being controlled via nasal swabs coated with “nano smart dust” in Covid-19 tests.

 

“This is a national moment,” said a woman warning that November’s election could be hijacked by Wi-Fi. “We’re going to keep coming back till we get what we want.”

 

In most of California, their claims would have been dismissed immediately: State law prohibits most of the election reviews they have called for and there has been no evidence of voter fraud in the primary election. But Shasta County, population 180,000, has become a riveting California exception, a red pocket where far-right activists aligned with former President Donald J. Trump have taken charge of a government long overseen by establishment conservatives.

 

n February, an alliance of MAGA activists, secessionists, vaccine resisters and self-described militia members ousted a longtime board member and won a 3-2 majority on Shasta County’s all-Republican — but officially nonpartisan — main governing body. Since then, the most populous county in California’s upper reaches has been a case study in the forces reshaping the Republican Party and governance in conservative parts of the country.

 

The health officer has been fired, the chief executive has quit, the head of the largest county department has retired, and Shasta has had difficulty hiring full-time replacements. The board has issued a declaration opposing state vaccine mandates.

 

During Pride Month in June, the majority killed a proclamation recognizing the local L.G.B.T.Q. community’s contributions. Critics of the new policies complain that they feel unsafe at board meetings. Their supporters have surveilled the longtime county clerk, who oversees elections, following her to her car, confronting her in and outside her office and bombarding her with dubious fraud claims; some have circulated petitions accusing her, without evidence, of treason.

 

This week, Douglas Frank, a high school math and science teacher from Ohio whose widely debunked analysis of the 2020 election has gained currency with election conspiracy theorists, spoke for 20 minutes, urged by the board’s vice-chairman.

 

Such developments have dismayed longtime Republican leaders in Shasta County.

 

“I was born and raised here, spent 31 years in law enforcement and was involved in 15 different civic organizations — I remember people being reasonable,” said Leonard Moty, 69, the four-term supervisor and former Redding police chief who was threatened with violence, accused of being a pedophile and denounced as a “Republican in Name Only” before he was recalled. Now, he says, “there are people we’ve known for years who, you know, we’re careful what we say around them.”

Save America PAC pays $3 million to Trump lawyer

 

The Save America PAC has advanced former President Donald Trump's attorney Chris Kise $3 million in an upfront payment to cover his legal fees, a person familiar with the arrangement told CNN.

 

Kise, a former Florida solicitor general, joined Trump's legal team last month to help the former President as he waged a court battle following the FBI's search of Mar-a-Lago, his Florida residence and resort.


The addition of Kise was viewed as a significant boost to Trump's legal team. The former President has had difficulty finding high-caliber lawyers to represent him given his history of stiffing attorneys and business partners and not following legal advice.

Oh, BTW, this is the same attorney that is a registered agent for...

 

 

And judge Cannon wants to give access to the Classified Docs to Trump's attorneys.

Mike Lindell Tells Trump Crowd He Prayed For Democrats Warnock and Ossoff to Win So It Would Prove ‘Election Crime’

 

My Pillow founder and outspoken Donald Trump supporter Mike Lindell spoke to a crowd of fellow supporters at a Save America rally on Saturday and claimed he actually previously prayed two Democrat senators won their races against Republicans.

 

Lindell spoke in Youngstown, Ohio ahead of an appearance by the former president for more than an hour, repeating his usual election fraud claims, re-upping his promise to sue the FBI after his phone was seized, and claiming his film touting his election fraud conspiracy theories, Absolute Proof, was viewed well over 100 million times in a matter of days upon release in 2021.

 

At one point, Lindell claimed that in January 2021 he was praying that Democrat Sens. Ralphael Warnock (D-GA) and Jon Ossoff (D-GA) won their Senate runoff races because it apparently makes alleged election fraud that much easier to believe.

 

Lindell recalled being at a rally watching the Senate races when he began praying.

 

“All of a sudden I started praying. I go, God, please let them take both of these senators. And you’re going, okay, Mike, you did it. No. The reason I say that [is] I’m a marketer, and if I were working for that evil, I would say, give them back one of these senators so they shut up about the election,” Lindell said.

 

According to the Trump advocate, if Democrats had not taken both seats, “most people in the country” would not believe there was alleged “election crime.”

So he's admitting he doesn't think there was election fraud, but as a marketer wants to be able to sell the idea to people so he can grift?

That picture is so disappointing.  Does Pat Sajak not have any career reprecussions for openly supporting a racist piece of trash politician like MTG?  Who just a few days ago was kicking a political activist?  

 

Let's legitimize that garbage...

 

Make it better known.  Buzzette and I just learned this about him.  Won't be watching WoF again.  Vote with your wallet.

Judge refuses Lindell motion to dismiss suit brought by voting machine company

 

A Minnesota District Court judge on Monday denied MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell’s motion to throw out a lawsuit brought by a voting technology company that claims he defamed it by pushing the false narrative that the 2020 election was stolen.

 

Smartmatic, a company that provided election technology and services to Los Angeles in the 2020 election, alleges in the complaint that both Lindell and MyPillow defamed the voting tech company by falsely promoting the theory that its machines had been hacked or rigged in favor of President Joe Biden. Lindell is a staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump and has falsely maintained since 2020 that Trump won the election over Biden.

 

Smartmatic also alleges that Lindell, who has advertised promo codes for MyPillow products to viewers and listeners during TV and radio segments where he pushed the false narrative that voting technology was rigged in the 2020 election, used deceptive trade practices.
