NEWTOWN - A Connecticut judge promised to sanction Alex Jones on Wednesday after his lawyers were accused of violating a court order of protection and making information public from a confidential deposition of a woman who lost a loved one in the Sandy Hook massacre.
The promise by state Superior Court Judge Barbara Bellis to sanction Jones for what would be second time came after a two-hour hearing about accusations by eight families in the lawsuit that Jones has withheld pretrial data, manipulated evidence, and violated the protection order by trying to subpoena Hillary Clinton.
I do intend to impose sanctions, Bellis said after questioning Jones attorney for using confidential testimony as the basis to subpoena Hillary Clinton about her alleged role in a vendetta to silence Alex Jones.

( Jones is a vile human being and the circus antics beyond the pale. )

(25,925 posts)Sounds like the lawyers violated the protection order, so they should be the ones facing any sanctions, I would think.

(14,864 posts)It's all wrapped up in how jones and the defense team are ignoring the judges clear instructions. If she does not believe that jones and his team are willing to abide by her rules, she can enter a default judgment of responsibility.
Don't forget, it was jones, on his own show, who yelled and screamed about needing hillary to testify. That wasn't his lawyers; it was him personally. His lawyers also entered into the record of the case by requesting her as a witness to be deposed.
It's all from the same cesspool.
And it's apparently strike 2.
But jones seems to be angling for appeal rather than outright victory. He's happy having it kicked back down to a retrial after lengthy appeals, with more years wasted and more millions earned.

(2,403 posts)At some point why would they not be contrite and admit they fucked up? Even if they didnt sincerely mean it? I mean it should be completely obvious they are getting their asses kicked in the courts.
