After losing repeated court battles in his fight against those who lost loved ones in the Sandy Hook school shooting, conspiracy theorist Alex Jones is using a new legal tactic: blaming Hillary Clinton.
In a Thursday court filing, a lawyer for Jones asked a Connecticut court to begin the process of issuing a subpoena to obtain records and testimony from the former secretary of state and Democratic presidential nominee, baselessly arguing that it was she who organized the multiple families now suing Jones for defamation related to the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting.
The defendants in this case believe that this suit was filed six years after the
shootings at Sandy Hook as part of a vendetta inspired, orchestrated and directed in whole or in part by Hillary Clinton as part of a vendetta to silence Alex Jones after Ms. Clinton lost the presidential race to Donald J. Trump, the court filing reads. The litigation is brought and pursued in bad faith as part of a partisan effort to silence Mr. Jones for reasons wholly independent of the merits of the plaintiffs claims.

Juanita Jean's son, Mark Bankston, is quoted in this article
Houston attorney Mark Bankston with Farrar & Ball, who represents several Sandy Hook parents in Texas, mocked the latest Connecticut filing.
A lot of people will make fun of this, but its just good lawyering, Bankston joked to HuffPost. Personally, I have a subpoena lined up for the estate of Elvis Presley and a document request relating to the Bermuda Triangle.
Obviously Im not being serious, he added. Nothing about this deserves to be taken seriously.

I wonder if there are other witnesses that Mark needs to depose

But they wouldn't keep using it if the tactic didn't work so well with the below-average half of America...

When in doubt, throw Hillary Clinton's name into the mix!
When will any of these people take responsibility for their own actions? Alex Jones was reprehensible in his behavior and blathering following Sandy Hook, just adding to the suffering of the parents rocked by the awful loss and senseless murder of their babies.
Crisis actors. Really?
Jones deserves to be knocked senseless and shut down. Another grifter and liar. Sue his damn ass off!
