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 wasnt, and they are not.

(63,221 posts)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!

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

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 examiners report ...
It did nothing to stop the conspiracists ...

(145,722 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
