I'm having trouble believing content on Jones' phone can be directly related to prosecution against Trump but drat would I ever love to be wrong.

The guy with the phone has been mouthing off in front of cameras about the "intimate" messages between Jones and Roger Stone. But Jones was at the Capitol on January 6th and his security was provided by Elmer Stuart Rhodes of this group called the Oathkeepers. You may have heard of him!

This is the other part.

NYT, WaPo, Yahoo news, whomever is going to be falling all over themselves to get this first, and several people on the legal team are going to be doing the same to leak it.

To be fair, Bankston was stroking his fully erect penis when he said that, could be that there's no "there" there.

They originally wanted 150 Million, but jury put it at 4.1. Still a good chunk of change, but not nearly as harmful for him or as much of a deterrent.

The punitive phase could see him hit much harder, and I think he has at least two more Sandy Hook defamation trials pending.

I had totally forgotten till today that Connecticut has 8 plaintiffs rather than 2, so even setting aside Connecticut's more generous damages laws, that alone multiplies Number some.

Yeah I pointed out in another thread, Alex Jones is hosed. If they punish him upwards of 25-30 million tomorrow then that is a tremendous sum comparatively to your average case. And he's got other trials with bigger rewards on the line. Where he will absolutely retain awful council and continually make a fool of himself and lose those too.

I'm not even going to get into the laws of hiding assets, january 6th stuff, etc. This is a headache that will never end for Alex Jones.

On the plus side, Cheney looks and sounds like absolute poo poo in that video. I know "evil lives forever" is a meme, but the past 13 years look like they've been justifiably rough as a ballsack dragged across broken glass on old Darth Vader here. No wonder he never leaves his castle on Mustafar anymore.

I could easily believe that Alex Jones is the kind of person who could blow through 8 and even 9 figures of wealth with nothing left to show for it. That said, he’s been raking in cash for a long time and even a $100 million finding might not hit him all that hard.

His wife coming after what’s left though, that could be a problem for him if they can show he was hiding his income. They could find that he owes going way back.

What's funny is I actually remember reading about DIck Cheney happily endorsing Trump back in 2016. I glanced at The_Donald subreddit at the time and saw a bunch of posters be like "I always knew Cheney was different from that stupid Bush guy, Cheney is a real American."
