The defense team further claims that she did honestly believe that what she was saying was true at the time. So, effectively, they've argued that she believe(d)(s) serious allegations that no reasonable person would (have) believe(d). I'm not sure how they phrased the tense but her own defense team has clearly stated that the case should be dismissed because she's deeply delusional.
I wonder if it's dawned on the GQP that by extension, they are all either deeply delusional themselves, or, at the minimum, happy to be led by those who are.
If not, someone should definitely tell them. At every available opportunity.

Dominion Voting Systems filed a $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News on Friday, arguing the cable news giant falsely claimed in an effort to boost faltering ratings that the voting company had rigged the 2020 election.

The lawsuit is part of a growing body of legal action filed by the voting company and other targets of misleading, false and bizarre claims spread by President Donald Trump and his allies in the aftermath of Trump’s election loss to Joe Biden. Those claims helped spur on rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 in a violent siege that left five people dead, including a police officer. The siege led to Trump’s historic second impeachment.

Dominion argues that Fox News, which amplified inaccurate assertions that Dominion altered votes, “sold a false story of election fraud in order to serve its own commercial purposes, severely injuring Dominion in the process,” according to a copy of the lawsuit obtained by The Associated Press.

They don't have the deep pockets of the Murdoch empire.
They did threaten them with a lawsuit,and that's why they cut off Pillow Guy's mic when he started on his rant about them. They'd have followed through it the networks didn't toe the line.

Right, but they had been making the claims prior to the threat. Wasn't it Newsmax that backed off? I don't recall OANN doing that.

Little pockets means they could effectively be shut down. I don't see a downside. Any of them that were party to the lies about Dominion should be subject, imo.

AZ Senate Hires Peddler Of 2020 Fraud Nonsense To Audit Dem-Leaning County
The founder and president of the company leading yet another audit of the 2020 election results in Arizona’s largest county boosted an endless stream of nonsense about the 2020 election results on Twitter.

In a press release Wednesday, state Senate President Karen Fann said Senate leadership — in other words, Senate Republicans — had spent months interviewing various forensic auditors before selecting four firms for another audit of the election results in Maricopa County, where Joe Biden edged out Donald Trump.

This is like Joe Arpaio setting the Maricopa County Sheriff's Department onto looking for Obama's birth certificate.
You can see that, though, because he's just one seriously bonkers guy running the thing, and everyone else is either drinking the Kool-Aid or going along with it for fear of their career or some such. A Trump lite situation, you could say.

For this to work, you need the whole fucking team to be both Kool-Aid servers AND drinkers. That's not sustainable.

Trump voters. Oy...

Prosecutors have filed new charges against Barry Morphew, alleging the man accused of murdering his missing wife submitted a presidential ballot in her name.

Morphew was recently arrested on charges of murdering his wife, Suzanne, after she disappeared a year ago. She still has yet to be found.

Wow. That is really fucking depraved. Any guesses as to what The Former One's intent is for the State of Arizona?
That's easy. His goal is to not lose it nor Georgia by continuing to press for all states to deny rightful votes, and failing that allow the legislature to override the will of the voters.

This fucker is hoping to come back in 2024 and steal a second election with a whole lotta help. Stole one, lost one, wants to steal another.

Three words: Wayward chicken bone. He does love his KFC.

And I'm sure he's mustering his Proud Boys or whoever over there right now to "make sure" it doesn't happen.

My personal suspicion is that he really is still trying to win the 2020 election. He's a brain damaged lunatic surrounded by sycophants who has never had to face consequences or reality. Whine enough and throw enough (of other people's) money at a set-back, and he has always won in the past. This might very well be the first time he could not have his way, and it just does not compute for him.

What utterly blows my mind is that people keep letting him do this shit.
