One of my favorite part of these trials are always the little throwaway comments that gets picked up by the stream.

they did have some advertising revenue and it supported them for a long time before he started selling supplements. now they are the vast majority of income, but they still get some advertising dollars (or did up til 2018).

Like he certainly got a bunch of trump campaign money.

Don’t they still get some advertising money from shady BUY GOLD NOW kinds of businesses, or does InfoWars just sell its own overvalued commemorative coins now?

I don't know if it's because Reynal was so bad, but I thought Bankston was the poo poo. This lawyer does not nearly seem as charismatic or enjoyable to watch. Why does he keep loving up the exhibit numbers?

Is it possible being extra argumentative is part of the legal strategy here since they are in CT and it's a safer bet that everyone there thinks Info Wars/FSS can go gently caress themselves?

Casually admitting that all the crypto donations go directly to Alex, not the company.
Crucially an overlooked point just before that is where she says unprovoked that Free Speech Systems internally uses Free Speech Systems and InfoWars interchangeably. No one seems to have caught it as it wasn't brought up later though.

$30k up front, she bartered from $20k. Should have added more zeros, especially since she mentioned putting in at least one more invoice and not getting paid for it.

As far as her work history goes she said she worked for Pattis from 2012 to 2018 and called it a 5 year period, so presumably 5.5y-ish. Then January 2022 she gets asked to take this job 2 weeks before she was deposed, and based off of her statements today she was given clips of videos with no context and told to take it as the truth. Also claims to have never heard of Jones, FSS, InfoWars, etc prior to taking the job which is questionable.

Interested in what she produces tomorrow or if she 'attempted' the 'request' but it was just too high a bar for her.

Yeah I mean she's ghoulish but she at least knows what she is allowed to say she knows, doesn't remember, or wasn't told (she got called out for speculating at least once by Chris, but a lot of his questions were speculative and objected to as well). She threw Alex and Norm under the bus a bit for not contacting her or giving her full information and basically admitted that she also didn't reach out to them... And hadn't tried to obtain and watch a video she was asked about in her deposition six months ago. She, unlike Daria, claims to have viewed all videos in evidence she has access to and was willing to admit to Alex's conspiracy based marketing strategy.

Daria said, in response to a jurer's question, she believed the trial was a staged event. iirc it took two admonitions from the judge to get Daria to respond yes/no

Daria gets paid $120k/yr to do what she does. Paz got $30k once and is still waiting on Jones to pay her the rest of what he owes her. I can definitely see them being two different types of witnesses just based on that.

Despite routinely claiming that they don't use google analytics, they have quite a bit of data from them on their media kits, and the corporate rep has no clue where that info comes from.

The judge yelled at Norm for sitting while addressing the court and talking back to her afterwards.

Nothing super flashy or super sad today. Just a skilled lawyer schooling a piss poor lawyer who was paid a pittance to be a patsy for Jones.

I think it'll be the day that the defense starts presenting their out witnesses that poo poo will really kick off. You can't really take the opposing party's witness to sanctions-town the way that you can when you're questioning Alex
