Coomer’s attorneys informed the judge that Lindell appeared on Steve Bannon’s “War Room” podcast on Tuesday and that posts from his X account were being published as court was in session, violating court orders, according to a June 3 court document obtained by HuffPost.

They also cited a Substack article from The Bulwark’s Will Sommer titled “Mike Lindell is Texting Me From His Defamation Trial” and an on-air interview with LindellTV, featuring Lindell.

Coomer’s attorneys cited a verbal order on Monday in which the court prohibits “disclosure of trial testimony to witnesses who are excluded from the courtroom; and prohibit excluded witnesses from accessing trial testimony.”

District Judge Nina Wang verbally reprimanded Lindell, cautioning him against making any other public remarks.

And if that weren’t dumb enough, apparently his attempt at a defense is…:

“All Mike Lindell did was talk,” Lindell’s lawyer, Chris Kachouroff, reportedly told the jury.

“Mike believed that he was telling the truth,” Kachouroff added. “It doesn’t have to be true.”

They did get it right though about Howard Cosell’s blathering being used to psychologically torture people.

Hearing it was always torture for me, too.

Hey now, you two. Howard Cosell’s live coverage of the assassination of the president of San Marcos (and subsequent a coup d’état by General Emilio Molina Vargas) was groundbreaking television.

Not true. Mises was never a sympathizer or supporter of Nazism. He only supported fascism.

Yeah.
A fascist, but an Austrian Nationalist Fascist.

Wasn’t into the whole Anschluss thing, otherwise as you were Hitler, but not that one thing.

Is drinking coffee for 58 minutes straight actually good for you?

  • Some people say yes, it is.
  • Other people say no, it is not.

So great to have a summary of all the different versions of information out there, without wasting time on any of that pesky context or detail.

Whether it is good for me is debatable. Whether it is good for the people around me, however, is not.

So what does he do in the other hour? After the two minutes of AI and the 58 minutes of coffee?

Maybe he opens, say, a maths puzzle book and looks at the answers at the back and convinces himself he’s a genius at maths and those fools who work it out are losers unlike his l33t self.

Probably tries to avoid being noticed by the overseer agent - it hates to see people taking a break instead of working. :grimacing:

A real cop doesn’t want to “raise the temperature?” Um… maybe someone should ask George Floyd about that… :roll_eyes:
