Alex Jones Asks Court To Make Hillary Clinton Testify In Sandy Hook Defamation Case

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 multiplefamilies 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.”

The latest motion from Jones’ legal team is part of a defamation case brought against Jones by Erica Lafferty, whose mother was the principal at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut and was killed in the 2012 shooting that left 20 children and 6 adults dead. Jones is currently being sued by ninefamilies after he repeatedly used his platform on Infowars to allege the massacre was staged and the parents of the dead children were “crisis actors.” It wasn’t, and they are not.

Just smash his head into the wall and tell him to sit down and shut up. Put him in a strait jacket and gag him and leave him in solitary confinement until he's nothing but a drooling vegetable and can't spew any of his hate any longer.

Sorry, just a fantasy. No harm meant!

5. Even if it were true, how could that be germain?

And how can they even raise the issue if it's only based on their "belief"? Isn't there some standard against even filing such nonsense?

... to keep Hillary Clinton from being exposed.

How many more lawsuits is he facing? I hope he ends up selling repo'd trailer houses in south Texas.

7. why don't you just call the judge a "pig ugly piece of shit"

because that probably is going to make them LESS angry than absolutely insulting the court's intelligence and wasting its time with this conspiracy theory bullshit.

She's an attorney. That's one of the things attorneys do. On his radio show he's organized people to do far worse.

Lenny Pozner lives in hiding. His six-year-old son .. was .. killed in the Sandy Hook shooting ...

After finding conspiracies about the Sandy Hook parents on .. InfoWars, Pozner .. wrote Jones .. saying that he had a duty to report the truth ...

He received a response .. that they were “distancing themselves from these conspiracy ideas,” but .. that turned out to be untrue ...

... to combat the misinformation .. Pozner ..published the medical examiner’s report ...

It did nothing to stop the conspiracists ...

13. Juanita Jean's son is seeking to keep asshole Alex Jones attorney from being admitted in Texas

Jul 2021

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

Jones and his affiliated companies are facing four Sandy Hook lawsuits in Texas, with the first set to start in March 2022. Mark Bankston, an attorney representing Sandy Hook families in the cases, said a deposition of Clinton hasn’t become a topic in the Texas suits—for now.

“InfoWars has not yet requested Secretary Clinton’s deposition in our case,” Mark Bankston, a lawyer handling the Texas cases, wrote in an email to The Daily Beast. “We’ll 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/

Again, I don’t know a whole lot to tell you because depositions in the Jones care are still going on. All I can say is that when I do get a few minutes to talk to Little Bubba, he is tired but happy.

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
