This seems like it was their strategy from the get go. In one of the Knowledge Fight deposition episodes Bankston mentioned that Alex tried to subpoena Hillary Clinton. There view of thing s is that no on cared about Sandy Hook until 2016 when Hillary Clinton broight it yp to ounish Alex for supporting Trump.

Yeah in theory this could have been a pretty big case that someone wanting some national attention could have grabbed onto (same with Trump right now, holy poo poo lawyers should be fist fighting each other in the street to represent him) but since he is a giant idiot you get some moron who can't remember how to properly object

Trumps lawyers also have to be hyper vigilant about demanding payment for everything in advance, which you just know Trump constantly throws tantrums about.

Okay, but what exactly does this do for them.

If they sued Clinton, I guess it could do something but here?

Yeah I only learned about it from Hillary. It's 100% political. I wasn't crying and watching it on every single news station that was playing it right when it happened. :jerkbag:

Nah it was even grosser than that.

One of Alex's lawyers (I think Pattis, actually, but don't trust me on that) transcribed a plaintiff's confidential testimony that was supposed to be sealed, then he added that onto something he filed against Hillary Clinton so all her details would be in the public record.

The Hillary part was just his weird strategy to doxx a woman he'd already thoroughly traumatized. It's in the first Formulaic Objections episode that had Bankston on, I wanna say number 4?

1hey, listen, Alex Jones said he wasn't afraid of being martyred the NWO. People coming after him because he repeatedly called them crisis actors after their loved ones were killed in a mass shooting and made them the targets of extended harassment by his wingnut followers? That's another thing entirely. Alex Jones NEEDS all thise bodyguards to protect him from the repercussions of his own actions!

A little interesting. The last trial (if you listened to knowledge fight) we were familer with Bankston and Reynal was a total unknown and this time the roles are reversed.

We know more than enough about Pattis but nothing about the lead plaintiff. I don't even remember his name.

or is everything their talking about because of the fallout of the Texas case?

The (most recent/professional) corporate representative is on the stand to start. She's...interesting.

Think I figured it out: Jones’s lawyers are trying to piss the judge off so bad that she ultimately agrees to a fine of twice the annual US GDP, and they’ll appeal based upon that violating the 8th.

Otherwise I have no idea what the gently caress they’re doing (and I don’t think they know either).

The current corporate representative hired by Norm Pattis for Infowars/Free Speech Systems. Her deposition was covered in Knowledge Fight episode 685: Formulaic Objections Part 7

This 'I don't recall' poo poo is her being unprepared to do her job in a way that's fully disrespectful to the process.

I'm not sure the exact title, but a corporate representative of Infowars(or rather, their parent company). Only a representative for this case though, not like an actual employee or anything.

Has anyone ever tried to get Jones into a charity boxing match or something? I know he's a dude who claims to be super fit, was always getting into knife fights with his bare hands and winning after being jumped, loves getting really into people's faces and even physically harassing them, etc. I would have thought that he'd pissed off enough people that one of them would have had to have throw down a "put up or shut up" gauntlet and ask to settle it in the ring.

There is absolutely no chance he would do that he would not risk his "masculinity" in any public sphere.
