Chris Krebs sues the Trump Campaign

[rightwinger]

I know there are law suit threads already on USMB regarding companies and individuals libeled and slandered by Trumpist lies.

Now the piper will be paid.

These law suits are good news. Good news because nothing hurts like getting hit in the check book. Trumpers have got away with atrocious lies and defamation for too long. People have been hurt. Families threatened. Good companies‘ reputations damaged.

These folks that promulgated these lies should spend that next four years fighting those suits and spending time in bankruptcy court.

Expect a lot of back tracking and apologies in the more this to come.

This is only starting.

Defamation Lawsuits May Leash the Kraken

The first defamation lawsuit against the Trump campaign and its allies has been filed. More seem likely.

reason.com

I would love to see Trump in the bread line.

Trump may very well be subpoenaed to defend his “tweets”, if not, sued himself.

I would certainly like to see a penalty for all the crazy lies. Of course old Tucker Carlson may be on to something. Some of the lies were so outrageous it can be argued that one thought they were so fantastic no one would believe them. Crazy days when 73 million people follow a guy that tells you to put cleaners in your veins. I would not let that guy fix the pea trap under my sink.

Very good point. Yes, these RW media companies and Trumpist pundits could use the ”Tucker Carlson defense”. That defense is you have to be an absolute moron to believe anything that comes out of the mouths of Trumpist pundits.

The problem with that defense are the real world damages and threats these individuals and companies have faced Are dealing with.

If it were 1980 I would believe these people would be held responsible. Today I wait with bated breath.

Dominion can prove definite damages
Their livelihood is at stake.

Hope the court holds those spreading intentional lies accountable. There was malicious intent

Both actual and punitive damages are in order

The most dim witted argument that the Trumpers make in defense is somehow discovery will show what they assert is true. Yeah, like discovery will show Hugo Chavez’s ghost was involved in software development or that Dominon made software that would change Trump votes to Biden votes in four states but not change anyone else’s votes and that the software knew when a Trumper was reviewing the software. LOL

Good luck with that idiocy.

The key is, they will have to defend their misinformation campaign in court.
Dominion relies on its reputation for accurate, trustworthy election software. These unfounded accusations could destroy the company.
Actual damages as well as punitive damages are in order

Fox and Trump have deep pockets
Lets empty them

Agreed. I especially hope they drive OAN and Newmax into bankruptcy.

What they have said is not just accidental, it was malicious.

I expect the courts will hold them accountable

Juries will nail them. Nobody (except Trumpers, of course) likes liars.

oh please how many hate speechin libs have been sued ......you have mobs standing outside poiticians homes and you cheer.....you can shut up now

People standing outside politicians' homes are typically not involved in hate speech, slander and threats.

oh really.......you obviously haven not been following even recent current events or are just posting your usuaul lies

You may be thinking about the armed thugs on your team who have been threatening election officials and assembling outside their homes disturbing the peace.

Don't forget to make that independent forensic audit in Michigan of Domain somehow drop down a rabbit
hole and vanish. Good luck with your stupidity and denial of facts.

Lol..because it was a nothingburger, Orwell. You definitely chose the right screen name.

I see. Facts you can't counter are "nothingburgers". You sound like a flat earther. You ARE a flat earther in spirit.

You have no facts on election fraud. Nothing but delusion and untruths.

Here's a lawsuit that has already had a chilling effect on the FOX News and Newsmax:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/legal-issues/chris-krebs-sues-trump-campaign-digenova/2020/12/08/61a68a30-389a-11eb-bc68-96af0daae728_story.html

Notice how FOX News is no longer calling the 2020 election "rigged"? The same with Newsmax. Because they're now getting sued for defamation by the people who AREN'T lying about the election.

Crebs is going to make out like a bandit on these suits. Although the Trump campaign is broke, so collecting from Trump will be a problem, but Murdoch has deep, deep pockets.

There will be a flood of them. The folks who perpetuated tRump's lies must pay.

Donnie is gonna spend more time in court than he spends on the golf course next year.

Probably not....he has employees for that and I need to remind you that he has not conceded yet and probably is not going to concede.
No sure what you're talking about but at any given time there are no less than 200 active lawsuits being brought against Trump, his businesses and his organizations...
but he pales in comparison to Bloomberg who has set the record with as many as 500 open lawsuits against his empire at any given time.
You guys need to go back to fantasy land where you can actually put the toy soldiers where you want them to be.

JO

I don't give a rat's ass whether the Blob concedes or not. He'll be leaving on 1-20.

Nice picture of Trump...say how did you get that?

Not to worry. Unlike the phony Smirk-boy McConnell suits, these actually have readily available evidence. "Drawn and quartered". "Shot at dawn". Plenty to go around.

Not a lie Skippy - FACT

Election officials face threats, intimidation as Trump pushes false fraud claims

Jocelyn Benson, Michigan's top election official, had just finished hanging Christmas decorations with her young son on Saturday night when a crowd demanding November's presidential election result be reversed gathered outside her home to denounce her as a "traitor" and a "criminal."

I'm so glad he showed me that picture...otherwise I would never have known that they actually put handcuffs on Trump and carted him away.....I mean...I stand sooooo corrected that I think will now cut off my own dick and vow never to argue with an almighty liberal being ever again! Yes...that's it!

You dope....the Fraud is documented and the crowd has a first amendment right...there are no lawsuits possible here.

[Polishprince]

I am telling you now lawsuits be flying all over the place on this these Trumpist lies of election fraud. Defaming and threatening people will have consequences.

Outlawing Dissent from the Biden Cult's official position that the election was legit will be punished severely. The Biden Regime will be a dark time indeed, just as Sleepy Joe promised this week.

Unlike message boards, the accused will have to prove their assertions under oath and penalty of perjury

What they did was malicious and damaged the reputation of a company that must have trusted software.

I think more than an apology will be demanded

Defamation actions go back to the time of the Roman Empire, Boob.

Trumpers have got away with atrocious lies and defamation for too long.

It's just impossible to take a lib seriously when they write nonsense like this...

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

I think it's great. I encourage these cowards to sue. What they'll get is someone like Rudy Giuliani or Sidney Powell stand up in court and explain and document why they have alleged fraud from the Biden-ites.
Bring it on!

Court is a crap shoot. Let's hope they do their jobs. Get in front of the right judge or jury outcomes can be different than anticipated. For now I will try and maintain faith the system will continue to work.

 

[rightwinger]

On Nov. 12, just nine days after Election Day, Trump tweeted a claim that “DOMINION DELETED 2.7 MILLION TRUMP VOTES NATIONWIDE.”


I’m sure our president will be able to support his accusation in a court of law against Dominion.

If not, he will be personally liable for damages

 

[my2¢]

I didn't have access to WP and so I was wondering why he was filing a lawsuit? I couldn't imagine it was a matter of a monetary loss as it is for Dominion Election Systems over their reputation and how it would effect their future sales. CNN answered it for me....

Last week, Trump campaign lawyer Joseph diGenova said on Newsmax TV that Krebs should be "drawn and quartered" and "taken out at dawn and shot."
