Dominion Voting Systems threatens to sue Mike Lindell, MyPillow C.E.O., over false claims.

Source: NYTimes

Officials with Dominion Voting Systems has sent Mike Lindell, the C.E.O. of MyPillow, a legal letter warning of pending litigation over his baseless claims of widespread fraud involving their machines.

“You have positioned yourself as a prominent leader of the ongoing misinformation campaign,” the letter said, referring to his continued false claims that their systems were rigged by someone to effect the outcome.

“Litigation regarding these issues is imminent,” the letter said. Mr. Lindell is only the latest to get a warning letter from Dominion officials about potential litigation, after he and Sidney Powell, the right-wing lawyer, Rudolph W. Giuliani and others have continued to spread false claims about the integrity of the results the machines showed.

Mr. Lindell visited Mr. Trump at the White House briefly on Friday, before the national security adviser, Robert C. O’Brien, and the White House counsel, Pat A. Cipollone, steered him away.

give him a chance to retract. It's part of the legal process. I wondered what was wrong with all of them when they slandered Dominion without a care in the world. It seems to me that they have greatly damaged Dominion's reputation, and that Dominion deserves compensation.

This guy Lindell seems so needy and stupid to me. And, G-d does NOT have his hands on this. He shouldn't put a religious connotation on a purely political, rebellious affair of man. That is also stupid.

Why people are willing to give up their jobs, businesses, and freedom to serve Trump, I'll never understand. This guy Lindell must be tired of selling pillows.

Discover his gross total worth and then ask for one dollar less than that sum...let him starve in the gutter.

Dominion will be saying instead of My Pillow it’s going to be Our Pillow.
