Lawyered Up.

I heard that they vacated their offices and are in the process of legally changing their name. I didn't look into it, but that's what I heard on the radio.

I thought Dominion claimed that they were preparing to defend the suit that Sidney Powell said she was going to file.

Maybe they are just calling a lid?

Any updates?

Ask Dana Perino as she thought it was a great idea.
Bush Family on Fox spokesperson.

Are they suing for an injunction or can they show damages, like they lost a contract or something?

According to the Complaint, they are seeking money for the cost of security they had to hire, other out of pocket expenses associated with fighting the alleged defamatory comments, and lost contracts. They also want general damages for defamation per se and punitive damages.

Here is the Complaint. Its 107 pages, but lots of pictures so should be a quick read at the first Monday trip to the john:

1.3 billion in damages, same amount as they claimed against Sidney.

Sounds like some lawyers are going to make money and a pathetic settlement will result.

It occurred to me (haven't read the complaint yet) that they sued Rudy to prevent him from being a potential witness at the impeachment trial? They asked for a gag order against Sidney so I assume they did the same to Rudy. And last week he clarified that he would not be acting as Trump's lawyer because he would also be a witness at trial, conflicted out.

Now compulsory process is usually an exception to a gag order but if he is not under a court or Senate subpoena?

Where is their election day source code. Demand it.

For the presidential election, I would expect the extent of it to be this...

But yeah, they have some really sophisticated algo...

Where are these 'too dangerous to see' videos? Youtube stinks.

Wow. That complaint really makes Rudy look like a lying grifter. I didn't know he was using his platform as a Trump lawyer to sell cigars, arthritis pills and cyber protection plans.

Any federal judge would vacate a gag order in a damages case to allow material testimony in an impeachment trial.

You must know that many people here rely on you for legal analysis yet instead of simply looking up this information yourself you speculate and assume, and then pose a hypothetical that turns out to be entirely baseless.

Prayer for relief in Powell suit:

WHEREFORE, Dominion respectfully requests that the Court enter an award and judgment in its favor, and against all Defendants jointly and severally, as follows:

(a) awarding Dominion compensatory damages of not less than $651,735,000;
(b) awarding Dominion punitive damages of not less than $651,735,000;
(c) awarding Dominion all expenses and costs, including attorneys' fees;
(d) granting a narrowly tailored permanent injunction requiring the removal of all the Defendants' statements that are determined to be false and defamatory and enjoining the Defendants from repeating such statements or engaging in any further deceptive trade practices relating to Dominion; and
(e) such other and further relief as the Court deems appropriate.

Prayer for relief in Giuliani suit:

WHEREFORE, Dominion respectfully requests that the Court enter an award and judgment in its favor, and against Giuliani, as follows:

(a) awarding Dominion compensatory damages of not less than $651,735,000;
(b) awarding Dominion punitive damages of not less than $651,735,000; and
(c) such other and further relief as the Court deems appropriate.

Two quick google searches plus a ctrl+F for "relief" was all it took.

While actual malice is a difficult hurdle to clear, Rudy's continuous blabbering about Dominion, without even bothering to do the bar minimum to determine if the statements were actually true, is likely enough to clear it

I said I hadn't read the complaint and posed a question. Anyone taking same as giving legal analysis is not very bright.

Have a good day.

You mean they didn't spell out in the Prayer that they were doing this to stop Guliani (and Powell) from testifying in the impeachment trial?

Now that's odd. I figured that is the type of thing they would put right there in the pleadings.

But thank you for the links which it didn't in any way come close to addressing the question raised by aggiehawg.

And if you were some rando nobody then I would take little issue with you speculating out loud about a lawsuit you haven't taken the time to read.

But you're not a rando nobody here. People KNOW you're an attorney and you freely and often post legal analysis. I've seen "Hawg says..." and "let's wait until Hawg weighs in..." over and over and over in this forum. People here see you as an authority, whether you like it or not (and I get the feeling you like it very much indeed). I think you have some power here and thus I think you also have some responsibility.

Adjacent with the scorching hot opinions that lawyers like to talk and like to hear how smart they are.

I'm going to need a little time to absorb this brand new information.

Then you have failed to understand Aggiehawg's question.

When Aggiehawg says "[Dominion] asked for a gag order against Sidney," where and how do you believe this "gag order" was asked for? That would be in their lawsuit, specifically in the section where they ask that certain relief be awarded by the court, ie this part:

~~~
WHEREFORE, Dominion respectfully requests that the Court enter an award and judgment in its favor, and against all Defendants jointly and severally, as follows:

(a) awarding Dominion compensatory damages of not less than $651,735,000;
(b) awarding Dominion punitive damages of not less than $651,735,000;
(c) awarding Dominion all expenses and costs, including attorneys' fees;
(d) granting a narrowly tailored permanent injunction requiring the removal of all the Defendants' statements that are determined to be false and defamatory and enjoining the Defendants from repeating such statements or engaging in any further deceptive trade practices relating to Dominion; and
(e) such other and further relief as the Court deems appropriate.
~~~

So to answer Aggiehawg's question, wherein she assumed that Dominion has asked for a similar "gag order" against Giuliani, and wondered how such a "gag order" would affect his ability to testify at the trump's second impeachment trial, I posted the prayer for relief in the Giuliani suit thereby demonstrating that her question was moot because said prayer for relief does not contain the same "gag order" request that Powell's suit contains.

Hope that helps.

That's a gag order, hope that helps.

Now answer these questions of mine, I'll make sure to use multiple question marks so maybe you will understand each is a freakin' question.

Why a request for a gag order on Sidney and not on Rudy??????????????????

He is higher profile than she is and has more access to media outfits due to him being that well-known.

So why not request the same relief??????????????

Does that make sense to you????????????????

Finally, a reminder those are questions.

Kind of funny that Rudy sells cigars, gold, cyber protection, and arthritis medication.

It's too bad for Dominion that neither Rudy nor Sidney represent a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Any settlement will need to have an Agreed Judgment vindicating Dominion's position, because there's no way the company is going to be made anywhere near whole monetarily by the Defendants.

I have no idea. But thanks for posting a pertinent question.

welp, big L to the posters positing two months ago that dominion not suing powell and rudy somehow suggested they were "scared of discovery" and guilty as charged
