InfoWars conspiracy theorist Alex Jones could finally face legal consequences over his claims that the 2012 Sandy Hook elementary school massacre was a false flag, with multiple civil cases filed by relatives of the victims set for trial in the spring of 2022.
But the bombastic radio host has one last-ditch strategy before one of those lawsuits reaches a Connecticut courtroom next May: deposing former Secretary of State and 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.
In a July 1 court filing, Jones lawyers asked a judge to order Clinton to be deposed in the case. Clinton, who Jones once baselessly claimed personally murdered and chopped up children, has no connection to any of the Sandy Hook lawsuits. But Jones attorneys insist that Clinton should be interviewed as a witness, implying in court filings that she could somehow be involved in funding or organizing the lawsuits.
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 motion 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.

Be careful what you wish for Jones. Hillary stood up to several hours in the Benghazi hearing. She'll make mincemeat out of your attorney.

(111,169 posts)I would hope this judge has the sense to tell him and his lawyer to sit down and shut up, that investigating every crackpot theory he's ever dreamed up is beyond the scope of the court, perhaps he should try a mental health center.
It won't happen, but I can dream.

So the first vendetta inspired the second one or they were embedded vendettas? Hm...
Pretty sloppy motion.

(144,939 posts)I am friends with Juanita Jean aka Susan Bankston and Susan's son Mark Bankston is representing a group of the plaintiffs suing Alex Jones and INfoWars in Texas. So far this issue of deposing Hillary Clinton has not come up in Texas https://www.thedailybeast.com/alex-jones-last-ditch-defense-in-sandy-hook-lawsuit-depose-hillary-clinton?ref=scroll
InfoWars has not yet requested Secretary Clintons deposition in our case, Mark Bankston, a lawyer handling the Texas cases, wrote in an email to The Daily Beast. Well see what happens.
The current Alex Jones attorney in the New Jersey case is bringing this matter because an asshole named Marc Randazza was booted from the Connecticut case. https://juanitajean.com/a-quick-alex-jones-update/
I can tell you this. The Jones lawyer in the Connecticut cases is not faring well.
Honey, it takes some real special abilities to be more unethical than Alex Jones.
Today Mark filed a 35+ page brief with almost 200 pages of attachments to prevent Randazza from being admitted to practice law in Texas. Susan texted me the filing and I have not figured out how to cut and paste. There is some good stuff in this filing.
I did quick search on Randazza and found the following

I will try to cut and paste Mark's filing and post the good stuff.
This will be fun to watch. Alex Jones is a scum bucket and his attorneys are all scum buckets. I hope that Mark wins this case
