Lawyers fined $6,000, while Lindell lost $2.3 million defamation verdict.

Lindell has said he plans to appeal the defamation verdict.

This piece of shit will appeal all the way to our corrupt SCOTUS and get this nullified. I hate this timeline.

    I’m not sure how he can afford that unless someone is helping pay the lawyer fees. I thought he was out of friends and money.

      I’m largely guessing here, but I’d venture he’s just “rich person broke” which is still wealthier than most people will ever be. Again, just a guess.

          Yeah, you don’t really believe that, do you? Sure he’s claiming that for taxes or whatnot, but it’s his business that pays his rent or mortgage, utilities, travel, legal expenses, and anything else the poors have to struggle to pay. That $1000 per week is just walking around and dining out money.

            I dunno. Newsweek is a reasonably reliable source, I want to believe it, and it doesn’t really have much bearing on my life either way so I’m willing to accept the article I guess.

            Maybe not. Considering the AI generated briefing thing, they don’t sound like great lawyers. Also I can’t find the story but I think his previous lawyers are suing him for not paying them.

          How he flying to these trials on tall little of income?

          Sounds like he’s hiding assets like Alex Jones brags about.

          That’s actually closer to real poor than I thought, but I know people who live comfortably on way less. Guess he’s just gonna have to give up the avocado toast until he pulls himself up by his bootstraps.

            It’s a big step down from $60 million that’s for sure. he made the mistake of fucking with real money when he slandered Dominion.
