A defamation law firm representing Dominion Voting Systems has sent letters to White House counsel Pat Cipollone and President Donald Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani instructing them to preserve all records related to the company at the center of Trump's conspiracy theories and warning Giuliani that legal action is "imminent."
Through two well-known defamation attorneys, Dominion Voting Systems sent letters to Cipollone and Giuliani Tuesday, demanding Giuliani stop making "defamatory claims against Dominion" and ensure there is "no confusion about your obligation to preserve and retain all documents relating to Dominion and your smear campaign against the company." The attorneys told Cipollone their preservation request is vast and includes conversations White House officials had with attorneys like Giuliani or Sidney Powell regarding Dominion.
A Dominion executive has already sued a passel of people and organizations in the Right Wing Noise Machine:
In a lawsuit filed Tuesday in Colorado district court, [Dominion's director of product strategy and security, Eric] Coomer's lawyers say the allegations are "false and baseless" and have caused "immense injury to Dr. Coomer's reputation, professional standing, safety, and privacy."
...
The lawsuit names as defendants the Trump campaign, Rudy Giuliani, Trump adviser Sidney Powell, conservative media outlets One America News Network and Newsmax Media, the right-wing website Gateway Pundit, and Colorado businessman and activist Joseph Oltmann, among others.
As anyone who has sat through more than five minutes of a presentation on libel law, truth is an absolute defense to a libel claim. But these clowns are going to have to have proof that is acceptable to a court, which isn't a bunch of QAnon conspiracy horseshit.
This could be fun to watch. Pass the popcorn.

These people are closing in on a "what we have here is a failure to communicate"moment.They've gotten away with claiming fraud & machine vote theft in the media while tapdancing around it under oath. This will be the Waterloo moment for that strategy.Given the large amount of money potentially involved, I'd buy popcorn futures.
Like Fux news, the soon-to-be-defunct Trumpitite regime will delay and deflect and then puplicly retract the smears. But trump will continue to push them as the new Neo Confederate 'Lost Cause' through the usual right wing communication bubble. This will allow continuing GOP grifting on a huge scale. The faithful cultists will not notice or care. All non-cultists will be driven from the party, hopefully splitting and discouraging it.
So I wonder whether Twitter will allow Fergus to lie about things his lawyers are being sued for lying about after the twentieth of next month?
I mean the cover of uncertainty will be gone once it has been litigated, right?

The deluded cultists will continue to believe it was all rigged. The grift must continue lest Vlad sends his poisoners so trump himself won't mention how he was cheated so badly by the evil corrupt deepstate demonCrap voting machine manufacturers. That will be the job of the usual reich-wing outlets; Fux, ONAN, der Daily Stormer etc. And, as usual, Chuck Chuck Bobuck Todd will say 'well, don't both sides foment attempted fascist coups after losing fair elections?'
