Mike Lindell’s Defamation Trial Is Going HORRIBLY For Him

Mike Lindell has been sitting through his defamation trial brought by a former Dominion Voting Systems employee for two weeks now, and things could not be going worse for the MyPillow CEO. He has repeatedly confused the court by not knowing what is going on; He continued to defame the worker while he was on the stand; He vowed to continue defaming the company in the future; And he has been scolded by the judge repeatedly for not answering questions. This is not going to end well for him, as Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains.

So Mike Lindell has been sitting through the second week of his defamation trial this week. Of course, this is the case that was brought by the former Dominion Voting Systems employee, Eric Kuer, whom Lindell had suggested was the Mastermind behind the 2020 election theft that never actually happened. So Kuer is suing Lindell for defamation, and the trial could not be going worse for Mike Lindell. I, I mean, honestly, by every possible measure, Lindell is making an absolute fool of himself and basically guaranteeing that he is going to lose this case. It all began earlier this week. Uh, it started off actually with Lindell being unable to say the word defamation. While he was on the stand, he kept saying, Def inflammation. And it got to the point where the lawyers for Kuer had to ask him, are, are we even talking about the same thing anymore?

Do you know why you're even here? Because he couldn't pronounce the word and he did it repeatedly. Then after that, he continued to defame Mr. Kuer, and then the next day, Lindell's back on the stand and wouldn't you know it, he continued to defame both Kuer and Dominion voting systems that still has a pending defamation lawsuit against him. Here is how that exchange went down. Lindell's own lawyers are questioning him on the stand and his lawyer goes up and says, with all you've lost, why didn't you stop talking about elections? And Lindell says, because we lose everything, I ne I will never stop. We have to get rid of the machines and go to paper ballots. And then the lawyer asks, did you hear anything in the trial that persuades you about Dr. Komer? And Lindell says, I might have been hyperbolic, but no, I will probably still call them traitors and criminals.

Here. Here's, here's the thing. Traitor and criminal are both legal terms that you cannot call someone unless they have been convicted. For example, if I were to say, you know, uh, uh, uh, Tommy Tuberville is a criminal, that is a libelist statement because Tommy Tuberville is not a criminal. He has not been convicted of any crime. So if I were to call him a criminal, that is me slandering him. That is liable, defamation, whatever you want to call it. You can't call somebody a criminal if they do not have any convictions against them. That is part of defamation law. And here is Lindell on the stand for defamation. Further defaming this guy and saying, I will keep defaming him. At that point, you just lost your case

100%. Doesn't matter. You lose, and that jury will probably come back with the full amount that Kuer has asked for because you admitted on the stand you will continue to defame him. Like that was, that was the dumbest thing I've ever read about happening in a trial, any trial. And I've worked at a law firm for 21 years. I've had to cover weird legal news for the Trial Lawyer magazine. I have never seen a client make a dumber statement in a trial ever in my life. And that's not even the end of it, folks, the judge also had to repeatedly scold Mike Lindell 'cause he wasn't answering questions. Instead, while he was on the stand, he would just go into these huge monologues. So the judge had to constantly tell him to shut up, answer the question. It's a yes or no question. You've been talking for five minutes, dude, what's going on?
