Alex Jones' bad day

Re: Alex Jones' bad day

Beau has an interesting video up. Observes that Jones is very, very connected to the upper tiers of Trumpworld. And that the privileges which all lapsed respecting whatever is on that phone will be of some .. interest .. to his pen pals about Jan6. Beau suggests that Jones' phone may become prominent in a couple of episodes of the 2nd season of the J6 show.

I think Jones is essentially a WWE wrestler who thinks he does commentary. And that he may be able to do a "heel turn" for the ages, if encouraged enough.

Still hope he's broken and penniless after this suit though.

Heather Cox Richardson’s post today indicates that the family’s attorney in the case running in Texas got two years of phone records and all of Jones’ texts. Jones’ attorney didn’t declare a privilege for that information. The content is apparently devastating to both Jones and those he was in contact with - for many subjects, including the period around January 6th.

^ # 32 - I watched a bit of the 'replay' last night on television, when the plaintiff's attorney mentioned that he had been sent the entire content of Jone's cell phone, poor Alex got that 'deer in the headlights look' , and almost looked like he might lose his lunch.

Sounds like Jones's lawyer is being careful not to get run down with his client.

I'm not convinced these people know they're lying. There is something wrong in their brains such that they believe in the moment they say something that that something is true.

The committee has done a pretty good job of proving that Trump had all the information he needed to know that he was lying. Unfortunately, the committee has still not proven that Trump "knew" he was lying.

What a fitting end it would be if Trump's house of cards crumbles because of this living, breathing turd...

All Trump knows is lying. He does it as easily as breathing. And you can see in the outtakes from his Jan statement that he knows he is lying.

My first thought was that they're setting up an appeal based on incompetent counsel.

Any defendant getting lectured by a judge like that has either ignored their counsel's advice or been given extraordinarily bad advice.

Hmm, that's possible, guns-for-hire can be devious.

It is true that they don't know they are telling lies because they get their information from only one voice that is SHOUTED at them from multiple places. The lock-step march of the right does not provide room for thinking or debate. They use fear and blame from a chorus of voices all singing the same tune. We are talking about people who don't realize they aren't thinking about the problem. They have their talking points and they know the right responses, but they don't put things together.

They don't deliberately lie (or at least, not the rank & file while the leaders do). They just don't know any better and they don't want to know.

This guy knows damn well he is lying. He is one of the major sources of this cancer but his lies are very profitable. If he didn’t know he was lying they wouldn’t have stonewalled discovery forever.

Re: Alex Jones' bad day

Agreed. Absolutely and intentionally lying for profit and fame.

This guy does. His followers don't, or don't want to.

You can't appeal a civil verdict on the basis of ineffective counsel, only a criminal matter. In a civil case, the client is the one who hires the lawyer and so you can't complain if you hire a bad attorney. You can sue your lawyer for malpractice, but it does nothing to the underlying verdict.

Re: Alex Jones' bad day

right. This stuff feels so criminal that I forgot it was a civil suit!

This lawyer who "accidentally" sent everything to the plaintiff... is there a gofundme or something for his Free Drinks For Life fund somewhere? I'm in for $20
