Newsmax Staffers Hit With Subpoenas in 2020 Election Defamation Suit

Court filings rife with internal communications exposed Fox News’ post-election misinformation push. Newsmax could be next.

DOMINION VOTING SYSTEMS’ defamation lawsuit against Fox News laid bare how the network communicated behind the scenes about broadcasting 2020 election misinformation, ultimately leading the network to fork over a massive settlement. Newsmax could be next, as voting technology company Smartmatic has subpoenaed several of the right-wing cable network’s current and former employees for work and personal correspondence.

Several Newsmax insiders, who spoke with Rolling Stone under a condition of anonymity due to a fear of reprisal, said that roughly three weeks ago they were told to hand over “mirror images of their personal cell phone, personal email, and iCloud” as Smartmatic’s lawsuit against the network moves forward.

Smartmaric’s attorney J. Erik Connolly, Managing Chair of the Litigation Practice Group, at Benesch, Friedlander, Coplan & Aronoff, LLC tells Rolling Stone: “Smartmatic intends to pursue discovery from the current and former Newsmax employees who participated in the egregious disinformation campaign against the company. Some of the discovery has come, and will come, from the company. Smartmatic is pursuing these individuals to get the rest. Our complaint does not numerically specify the amount of damages we have suffered.”

Smartmatic claims in their lawsuit that Newsmax knowingly pushed falsehoods about the company following the 2020 presidential election. “Newsmax published and/or republished false statements and implications during news broadcasts, in online reports, and on social media that ‘Smartmatic participated in a criminal conspiracy’ to fix, rig, and steal the Election,” the defamation suit alleges.

So, in other words, to self-incriminate themselves as Smartmatic goes on a witchhunt trying to destroy its political opposition.

So, basically, a bunch of rich, leftwing hedge fund managers from New York, are seeking to attack and silence all political opposition so that no one ever again opposes them. Gee, I wonder how many times the myriad of left wing news agencies knowingly published fake news about Republicans, the GOP and Donald Trump?

I do hope they enjoy being outfoxed.

RWing bigmouths getting sued because they are guilty for spoonfeeding a bunch of ingrates?

What a fucking bummer, man.
 
Witchhunt of slanderers.

And Trump hasn't been slandered? If they have PROOF of this about Newsmax, then why do they need to go on a fishing expedition? Let them subpoena the evidence saying just what they expect to find and WHERE like all real legal inquiries required under the law.

If anyone needs to sue, it is Trump for being slandered by Adam Schiff saying he had definite proof to support a 40 million dollar Russia investigation when he didn't.

Then let them prove it rather than just trying to harass and intimidate a news agency for reporting the facts, not go on a fishing expedition looking for hoping to luck into some dirt somewhere.

Or maybe you just approve of people making shit up? How would you like it if someone accused you of something without proof to support it then demanded you help supply them with details of every aspect of your personal life at your own expense to crawl up your ass looking hoping to find something they can use against you?

I know, you'd probably be all for someone crawling up your ass, and besides, operating like a third world fascist country appeals to all your type---- that is, until others start doing it to YOU, then you'd squeal like a stuck pig crying fowl.
