How did they know the claims were made-up? Did they have access to something we didn't? Somehow their opinions became fact. With all the problems that we've seen from Dominion deliberate rigging is a possibility.
Their own internal communications showed they knew they were false or at the least had no evidence to believe their statements.
“So, we’re using a foreign company that is owned by Venezuelans who are close to – were close to (Hugo) Chávez, are now close to (Nicolás) Maduro, have a history."
“Well, I can hardly wait to put forth all the evidence we have collected on Dominion, starting with the fact it was created to produce altered voting results in Venezuela for Hugo Chavez and then shipped internationally to manipulate votes for purchase in other countries, including this one,”
“We also need to look at and we’re beginning to collect evidence on the financial interests of some of the governors and Secretaries of State who actually bought into the Dominion Systems … to line their own pockets by getting a voting machine in that would either make sure their election was successful or they got money for their family from it,”
“Did you know a foreign company, DOMINION, was counting our vote in Michigan, Arizona and Georgia and other states,”
“It was created for the express purpose of being able to alter votes and secure the reelection of Hugo Chavez and then Maduro. They’ve used it in Argentina,”
“Sidney Powell is also talking about potential kickbacks that government officials, who were asked to use Dominion, actually also enjoyed benefits to their families,”
“We have sworn witness testimony of why the software was designed. It was designed to rig elections … We have so much evidence, I feel like it’s coming in through a fire hose,”
“I’ve just gotten some stunning evidence from a firsthand witness, a high-ranking military officer, who was present when Smartmatic was designed in a way that – and I’m going to just read to you some of these statements, if you don’t mind, so I get them exactly right,
“But I mean just the mere fact that we have a foreign country, we had this in a foreign country, done by friends of an enemy of the United States, Maduro, is outrageous and has to stop immediately,”
“Let me put it this way, there are thousands of people in federal prisons on far less evidence of criminal conduct than we have already against the Smartmatic and Dominion Systems companies,”
“We have technical presentations that prove there is an embedded controller in every Dominion machine, that allows an election supervisor to move votes from one candidate to another,”
“Every outlet in the country, they go, ‘Mike Lindell, there’s no evidence, and he’s making fraudulent statements.’ No. I have the evidence. I dare people to put it on. I dare Dominion to sue me because then it will get out faster. So, this is – you know, they don’t – they don’t want to talk about it,” Lindell said.
I love this last one, Lindell is begging Dominion to sue him, and now he is complaining that he got exactly what he wanted. Theres nothing legally wrong with making false claims. The issue comes with Fox News allowing this stuff to be portrayed as indisputable facts and that they have all this evidence that they did not. Internally Fox News own legal and research people are telling them these are not facts and theres no evidence to support it. Which is what makes Fox News legally liable for the damage it caused to Dominion. Defamation requires that the statements are false, that they knew they were false, and that it was done for personal benefit and/or with malice to harm the victim. All these elements were met and proven. Unless maybe you want to show me that all these claims I quoted are true.
