I wish some liberal groups would buy ad time on conservative outlets (it can be done at the local level with ad buys on cable providers) just to keep constantly reminding conservatives of these statements.
Her words led to direct financial issues for the company, as well as hostile death threats for their staff. I think she’s in far deeper water than just saying something mean on cable news. Alex Jones is losing all his cases. She’s going to as well.
It was all just a joke, don’t you get it? /s
“Hey, they just have to say that to work around the corrupt system. It doesn’t mean anything.”
– Too many conservatives, probably.
I do like your idea though.
Every single attorney who goes up against her in court needs to find some reason to bring this up immediately. How can a jury take her arguments seriously when she has herself argued that you shouldn’t?
Yes, and…
Media should be asking people like these, who make these kinds of claims, “Can you go on record saying that any reasonable person would believe your claims?” Just for future lawsuits.
edited for clarity.
There exists no hole deep enough that to place this POS in and seal it for eternity.
would love to think that powell, carlson, jones et al would someday get what they deserve for the damaging, dangerous and hateful lies for personal or political gain. but they won’t.
even if there is a massive judgement against her what is the real cost to her, other than ridicule? no real money will change hands in her lifetime. i agree that dominion voting deserves to have their reputation cleared in court, but the morons that believed powell will never accept that. and on and on it goes.
Did she not make these claims in legal proceedings? Did she not go before judges to tell her tall tale?
Joe Average does this and that is contempt of court. she gets a pass?
If the defence against libel and slander is that you didn’t know the statements were inaccurate, did she not just blow a hole in it?
Conservative: “I’m serious about this! It’s a matter of principle! I will not back down!”
Consequences: “Ummm … just so you know, this stance is going to cost you serious money.”
Conservative: “I’m just joking! It’s entertainment! No reasonable person should take this seriously!”
Lock ‘em up an’ make 'em swallow the key.
That’s an interesting question. Can you be charged with contempt of court after the case relevant to the contempt charge has finished?
a flaw in that plan – sooner or later they will have access to the key
Did I forget to mention the large key-ring?
Now that you’re in court it was all performance art? Not even a Trump voter would believe that.
“Stop the Steal” was a Vaudeville Act?
Me thinks it’s curtains for you Ms Powell.
You’re being very generous here.
