Smartmatic can sue Giuliani and others. UPDATE 2-Smartmatic can pursue election-rigging claims against Fox News, Giuliani excerpt: "NEW YORK, March 8 (Reuters) - A New York state judge on Tuesday said Smartmatic can pursue its $2.7 billion defamation lawsuit claiming that Fox News Network, Rudolph Giuliani and others falsely accused the electronic voting systems maker of helping rig the 2020 U.S. presidential election to favor Democrat Joe Biden. Justice David Cohen of New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan rejected bids by Rupert Murdoch's Fox Corp, anchor Maria Bartiromo and former anchor Lou Dobbs to dismiss Smartmatic's claims against them. Cohen also said Smartmatic can pursue some claims against Giuliani, who worked as a lawyer for former Republican President Donald Trump. He dismissed all claims against Fox host Jeanine Pirro and former Trump lawyer Sidney Powell. Smartmatic accused the defendants of turning it into a "villain" by fabricating a story that its technology helped Biden steal the 2020 election from Trump. The Florida-based company said Fox News did this to boost ratings, cater to Trump supporters, and avoid losing viewers to smaller, right-wing networks Newsmax and One America News."
WSJ Poll: 79% of Americans Back Ban on Russian Oil Even if Energy Prices Rise excerpt: "A wide majority of Americans, 79%, said they favored a ban on Russian oil imports even if the prohibition increased energy prices in the U.S., according to data from a new Wall Street Journal poll. Just 13% said they opposed it. President Biden on Tuesday halted the purchase of Russian crude oil, certain petroleum products, liquefied natural gas and coal—the latest economic impediment the White House has placed on Moscow in an attempt to deter Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine. The new Journal poll showed broad support for the energy ban across political breakdowns. The ban had support from 77% of Republicans and 72% of voters who said they would support former President Trump if he ran again in 2024. Among Democrats, 88% said they favored the moratorium on Russian oil imports, including 94% of Democratic men."
Trump blasts Biden for not importing Russian oil. Trump jumps on Biden banning Russian oil to promote himself: ‘Do you miss me yet?’
well there is this "There’s no such thing as bad publicity" just the fact that this is the longest thread by far should be cause for alarm
Nope Even his own supporters agree with the ban. Just proves that he knows nothing about global economics.
Trump was "livid and shaking" after finding out he lost election—Bill Barr excerpt: "Former attorney general Bill Barr has described how Donald Trump was left "livid and shaking" after he lost the 2020 election before displaying "alarming" behavior insisting that he still won. In his latest interview to promote his new memoirs, One Damn Thing After Another, Barr was asked by Fox News' Special Report host Bret Baier what was the most "unsettling" moment he witnessed under the Trump Administration. Barr, who resigned as attorney general in December 2020 over Trump's false insistence the election was rigged, described the moment he spoke to the outgoing president after it was confirmed that he lost to current President Joe Biden. "It was certainly unsettling when I went in to talk to the president about the election," Barr said. "He was livid and shaking and showed a lot of temper and yelling. That was a little unsettling.""
Former Trump adviser Stephen Miller sues January 6 select committee over subpoena for phone records excerpt: "Washington — Stephen Miller, who served as a senior adviser to former President Donald Trump, is suing the House select committee investigating the January 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol in an effort to block enforcement of a subpoena for his cell phone records. Miller's complaint, filed with the federal district court in Washington on Wednesday, states T-Mobile was served with the subpoena on February 22 for subscriber information and records of phone calls and text messages from November 1, 2020, to January 31, 2021, for the phone number assigned to Miller's cell phone. Miller's phone is part of a family plan account with his parents that is held by Carron Drive Apartments LP, a California limited partnership formed in August 1997, according to his suit. T-Mobile notified Carron Drive at the end of February it had been served with the subpoena from the House panel for Miller's phone information and intends to comply unless Carron Drive sought a court order to block it from turning over the records to investigators."
Smart move having your phone on a family plan and limited partnership....anything to hide and evade and delay. I'm surprised they weren't all using burner phones.
