MyPillow guy and CEO Mike Lindell was one of the last faces to show up leaving the White House during the last administration. Talk about bad timing. At that time, he was bad-mouthing the voting machines provided in Georgia, Dominion Voting Systems. Then, Dominion sued him for $1.6 billion, according to The Wall Street Journal. But it appears Lindell was a quick Donald Trump study and learned a few of the big guy’s wicked tricks.
Dominion’s lawsuit against Lindell was based upon him defaming the company with his false claims. The CEO said that Dominion’s machines flipped Trump votes over to President Joe Biden.
On a live stream, Lindell announced that he was suing Dominion for $1.6 billion. He claimed that the reason the voting machines failed to launch was due to hackers:
‘MyPillow has just sued Dominion for $1.6 billion. his is a free speech case. This is a First Amendment case. And what a day to do this on the same day of launching Frank and they did everything they could all night long, destroying, destroying us. And we got live to you, we got live early. You’re not going to be able to put in your profiles like we said until, um, sometime today.’
In addition, MyPillow guy showed a digital counter on his live stream. He claimed it showed the number of people who accessed his site. However, that site was “unaccessible (sic) for most users.”
Law professor Alan Dershowitz appeared on Lindell’s broadcast and threw his support against Dominion. Dershowitz spoke to The Daily Beast about the lawsuit:
‘I’ve been on conference calls repeatedly with [Lindell’s] legal team, sometimes Lindell is on, sometimes he’s not. My role is to come up with ideas as they pertain to the First Amendment. I give them cases, and I suggest First Amendment theories—my role is limited to advising on the First Amendment issues at hand.’
The attorney continued:
‘Our position is that Dominion is the government, for purposes of the First Amendment. The government delegated to them the most important governmental function, mainly counting votes in a presidential election. And they are therefore subject to criticism in the exact same ways that the government would be subject to criticism in that situation.’
‘And criticism of how the government conducted a presidential election is the highest bar protecting the First Amendment right to criticize such action.’
Dominion also sued Trump attorney Sidney Powell. She argued that the lawsuit should be dropped. The reason? No reasonable person would have believed her, The Forbes Magazine reported:
‘Former Trump lawyer and conspiracy theorist Sidney Powell moved to dismiss a lawsuit filed against her by Dominion Voting Systems Monday, arguing her earlier claims that Dominion was involved in an orchestrated voter fraud effort were so outrageous that “reasonable people would not accept such statements as fact.”’
