![]() “I'm thrilled about the Proud Boys (expletive) going to jail, I'm thrilled by it,” Wilson said in a video taken while he was stuck in Florida freeway traffic. The end of the experiment."Ĭhris Hayes says Trump's J6 support is "central component" of his campaign Wilson now wants to see the shot callers held to account and is urging special counsel Jack Smith to move up the food chain. Which is quite literally the destruction of American democracy. ![]() Throughout the primary, and if he gets a nomination, which right now looks likely, though who knows, he's going to singlemindedly advocate for the pursuit the successful completion of the same overall project the man in court today were convicted of furthering. That's the leading candidate for the Republican nomination of president. "Literally embracing a convicted January 6ther after learning that she had stormed the Capitol. Just watch this remarkable encounter the ex-president had last week, while campaigning in New Hampshire." He showed a clip of Trump embracing and praising a January 6 convict who called for executing members of Congress. His official position is that the January 6th rioters, who broke into the Capitol, many of whom assaulted police officers, are political prisoners who should be pardoned. He released a song featuring a choir of January 6th defendants who are currently incarcerated. "Embracing the January 6th insurrectionists is a central component of Trump's campaign. "This is not a side issue, this is not ancillary, this is not a gimmick," said Hayes. Because they are being treated so unfairly." And if it requires pardons, we will give them pardons. "If I run, and if I win, we will treat those people from January 6th fairly. "And another thing we will do, and so many people have been asking about it," said Trump. What about the man who incited insurrection in the first place? The man these militias believed they were acting on behalf of, when they tried to overturn the results of a free and fair election by force? Because, make no mistake, Donald Trump is running for president a third time, in order to finish the job he started on January 6th, when he almost ended free and fair elections in this country." He played a clip of Trump. They've now moved to run up the ladder to the organized, self-proclaimed militia groups, and prosecuted those successfully for seditious conspiracy. "The man who would stand most to benefit? We have seen the government, in what is the largest criminal case they've ever undertaken, in total, prosecute the hundreds of footsoldiers of January 6th, the people that entered the Capitol. "You may be asking yourself, as I am, after watching that clip, the obvious question: what about the man at whose behest this conspiracy was launched?" said Hayes. As a report prepared by our financial expert shows, Smartmatic's damages claims are implausible, disconnected from reality, and on its face intended to chill First Amendment freedoms." The attorney told Tapper that Smartmatic is "looking to take this case through trial."Ī Fox News spokesperson had a combative tone in an April 20 statement on Smartmatic's lawsuit, telling CNN, "We will be ready to defend this case surrounding extremely newsworthy events when it goes to trial, likely in 2025. The scope of the damage done to Smartmatic is a global scale, because we operate globally…. The Smartmatic attorney told Tapper that Smartmatic is asking Fox News for a "full retraction," an "apology" and a settlement that is at least as large as the one Dominion is receiving - if not larger.Ĭonnolly said of the Fox News/Dominion settlement, "That set down a marker, and it's a marker that we think we should be exceeding. ![]() But Smartmatic has sued Fox News for a larger amount than Dominion. Like Dominion, Smartmatic alleges that it was defamed when Fox News, following the 2020 presidential election, promoted the bogus, thoroughly debunked conspiracy theory that its equipment was used to help President Joe Biden steal the election from former President Donald Trump. Smartmatic's lawsuit against Fox News is similar to Dominion's. Fox News agreed to pay Dominion $787.5 million, and the right-wing cable news channel has been spared the embarrassing testimony that Dominion's attorneys were getting ready to present during the trial.īut Fox News is still facing a $2.7 billion defamation lawsuit from Dominion competitor Smartmatic, whose lawyer, Erik Connolly, discussed that case with CNN's Jake Tapper on Thursday, April 20. The trial for Dominion Voting Systems' $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against Fox News was avoided on Tuesday, April 18 when plaintiff Dominion and defendant Fox reached a settlement.
