"MyPillow guy" Mike Lindell says he'd welcome suit from voting machines maker Dominion


BY BRIAN DAKSS

JANUARY 19, 2021 / 9:08 AM / CBS NEWS

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell — an ardent supporter of President Trump — says he would "welcome" a threatened lawsuit from voting machines manufacturer Dominion. Lindell told CBS News a suit would enable him to show the world the recent presidential election was rigged.

However, the Justice Department found no evidence of widespread voter fraud and Trump administration national security and election officials have called it the "most secure election in American history."

In a letter dated December 23, attorneys for Dominion asserted that Lindell has "participated in the vast and concerted misinformation campaign to slander Dominion." They demanded that Lindell stop "making defamatory claims against Dominion" and preserve all documents related to the his "smear campaign" against the company. "Litigation regarding these issues is imminent," the letter said.

Lindell told CBS News' Sara Cook late Monday, "I want them to sue me. Please. Because I have all the evidence, 100%. I want all the American people and the world to see the horrific things that these (Dominion voting) machines are capable of and what they did to our country and what — they're allowing other countries to steal our election and just to hijack our election.

and has to pay a fortune in damages, Dominion will probably own Lindell's company and rename it "Our Pillow"!

"My cousin's girlfriend's best friend saw a guy destroy a bag of republican colored red ballots and pulled a bag of blue ballots from his trunk" might count as evidence on Parler, IG, and other websites but is not evidence in a court of law.

Hope he didn't use corporate resources that might come out in discovery to make that LLC protection not as air tight as he hoped.

Only a very foolish or very bad attorney would make the fact-free arguments this clown will want to make.

Plaintiff must prove bad intent, knowing it was false, or reckless, in defamation against public figures. I really think pillow guy is so stupid he really believes his false statements. Sydney Powell, guilty. Pillow man, too dumb to be guilty.

...isn't telling them to "bring it on," except through official legal correspondence, pretty much the LAST thing you want to do?

Then again, you can't expect too much brightness from a dimwit who needed 2 years to figure out how to throw some scrap foam into a sack...
