Dominion says Mike Lindell Is ‘Worse Than the Schoolyard Bully Who Can’t Take A Punch’ As They Move Case Forward

The wheels of justice grind slowly but they grind exceedingly fine and Mike Lindell is going to find himself reduced to sawdust. That process has begun, and Lindell did it to himself, but of course he doesn’t see it that way. He thinks his cause is righteous.

The latest development in Dominion v. Lindell is Dominion has asked a court to dismiss Lindell’s counter claim, because to not do so would “threaten the rule of law.” Insider:

Dominion Voting Systems asked a federal judge on Monday night to allow the company’s defamation lawsuit against Mike Lindell to proceed, arguing that the MyPillow CEO’s arguments in the case “threaten the rule of law.”

“If allowed to proceed, they would impose liability on innumerable parties engaging in ordinary, day-to-day acts of litigation,” Dominion’s attorneys wrote of Lindell’s counterclaims in the case. “They would deter future litigants from bringing their disputes to court in the first place.”

Where it starts to get comical is that Lindell has taken the tack, always, that he’s the victim. Dominion straightens out that misconception.

In Dominion’s new filing, the company asks the judge to dismiss Lindell’s counterclaim, arguing he doesn’t have a sufficient basis for saying Dominion broke the law, and move the case forward.

“The proverbial ‘schoolyard bully who can’t take a punch’ is not even the right analogy,” Dominion’s attorneys write. “Lindell and MyPillow are bullies who, after attacking their victim in the schoolyard, claim that the victim is forbidden from going to the nurse to dress his wounds, or to the principal’s office to have them held accountable.”

The filing comes a week after the parties in the case offered status updates for a discovery schedule. Lawyers for Rudy Giuliani and Sidney Powell, two Trump-supporting attorneys who are also defendants in Dominion’s defamation lawsuits, have been participating in the discovery process. Attorneys for Lindell and MyPillow, however, have avoided showing up to meetings and say they should not have to participate until their appeals to dismiss the case are exhausted.

And as you may recall from last week, nobody wants to settle. Not Dominion, not the conspiracy theorists. Let the games begin.
