I suspect Lindell will counter file.

I'm no lawyer, but I think Dominion will now have to put up or shut up. My guess is it doesn't get that far.

Right...they'll put up. Every instance of Mr. Pillow lying his ass off.

Why?
They're regulated already. There is no there there. They count paper ballots all the time and compare them to the Dominion machines. They've never found a material error.

RWT, you really need to read up on the legal system here in the USofA and how it is used.

I don’t see why Dominion wouldn’t follow this all the way through. They have been defamed, and they would love nothing more than to clear their name in court. I would expect Rudy, Lindell, Fox, OAN, Newsmax, the Trump campaign & the Kraken to all get their day in court.

I doubt more than one might see a courtroom. Dominion is most likely looking for full retractions...and perhaps some financial settlements.
Libel and defamation cases are really hard to win in court.

Just my opinion but...
Retractions do them no good... they’ll come across as financially forced and do nothing to benefit them in the court of public opinion. Dominion is fighting for its life after these baseless attacks and I have to believe they’ll have little desire to settle.

Sounds like he is shivering in his boots. Also sounds like he will sleep pretty good tonight.
Lindell "happy" about the lawsuit.
Quote:Reached by The Washington Post Monday morning, Lindell said he was "very happy to hear" that Dominion has sued him.
"Now I can get to the evidence faster. It’s going to be amazing," he said. He added that he plans to continue releasing "more movies, more documentaries" about alleged election fraud.
Pretty sure he is well prepared for this considering his sales increased 40% since Twitter banned him.

You do know that guys likely close to being insane, right? And what exactly did you expect him to say in public?

Why?
They're regulated already. There is no there there. They count paper ballots all the time and compare them to the Dominion machines. They've never found a material error.
This will go all the way. Dominion is dead. No pubic official will want to have anything to do with signing a contract with them due to the publicity. There are plenty of other vendors that wont cause a backlash if they are used. At their heart, Bureaucrats live to cover their own butt. So, few will see any upside weathering the backlash that will result in signing a deal with Dominion. As for Lindell, he is simply repeating something he read elsewhere.
With respect to the actual law suit, Dominion can sue Mike for all they want, but as long as Mike has a published source he can point to---Dominion's case is screwed. As long as the published source (or lawyer) has a affidavit they can point to---the lawyer or publisher is covered. In the end, the only person Dominon can go after is the original source and they probably dont have any money---certainly not 1.8 billion. In the end, these law suits amount to little more than a desperate ploy by a walking dead company.

There are enough signed affadavits that DOminion can never win.
However, if they allow it to go to discovery, DOminion can LOSE big time.
Keep in mind, there is a reason Texas rejected them state wide. Do they really want the planet to know how easily their systems are hacked into. And all the games that can be played, like adjudication?
Wake me when they hand over discovery.
