Rudy Giuliani, already being sued for defamation by Dominion Voting Systems Inc. over his debunked election-conspiracy claims, has been issued a subpoena in a similar lawsuit the company filed against Fox News Network.
The former New York mayor and Donald Trump’s personal lawyer was asked to hand over all documents stemming from his appearances on Fox starting in 2016 as well as all communications with the network related to the 2020 presidential election and Dominion, according to a June 28 filing in state court in Delaware.

The subpoena also seeks Giuliani’s communications concerning the “truth or falsity” of the claims he made about Dominion while appearing on Fox, plus documents about the nature of his relationship with the network, “whether formal or informal, compensated or uncompensated.” -snip
I know it's been fraught with infrastructure disasters, drought, continued plague, and wrath of god climate change acceleration... but I must say 2021 has been comparatively awesome in america, considering the last few years

OAN's Fraud Expert is Actually Convicted Drug Dealer and Swing Set Installer
(please log in to view the image)
On January 27th, the pro-Trump channel OAN broadcast a segment interviewing an "expert mathematician" named Ed Solomon who claimed to have found evidence within precinct-level reporting that the election was rigged by an algorithm. The basis of Solomon's claim is that he found several precincts throughout the country reporting exactly the same results at various times throughout the vote tabulation process.
Solomon is not actually a mathematician, according to a lawsuit voting machine company Dominion filed against OAN for knowingly reporting defamatory claims against the company in the wake of Trump's loss. In fact, according to the lawsuit, Solomon is a convicted drug dealer and "was working as an 'installer' at a swing set construction company in Long Island" at the time of the interview.

What is it with the Right and their love of these clown-like fake experts.

Donald Trump’s advisers continued to level false allegations against Dominion Voting Systems even after the former president’s campaign had concluded they were baseless.
The New York Times reports:
According to emails contained in the documents, Zach Parkinson, then the campaign’s deputy director of communications, reached out to subordinates on Nov. 13 asking them to ‘substantiate or debunk’ several matters concerning Dominion. The next day, the emails show, Mr. Parkinson received a copy of a memo cobbled together by his staff from what largely appear to be news articles and public fact-checking services.
Even though the memo was hastily assembled, it rebutted a series of allegations that [campaign lawyer Sidney] Powell and others were making in public. It found:
That Dominion did not use voting technology from the software company, Smartmatic, in the 2020 election.
That Dominion had no direct ties to Venezuela or to [George] Soros.
And that there was no evidence that Dominion’s leadership had connections to left-wing ‘antifa’ activists, as Ms. Powell and others had claimed.
According to the Times, it is unclear whether Trump himself saw the memo at the time. Regardless, the former president’s lies about voter fraud have been repeatedly fact-checked by numerous news outlets, and he has continued to spread them.

Trump campaign knew within weeks that election fraud claims were baseless - report
Newly released court documents show that Donald Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign knew within weeks of the election that accusations against Dominion Voting Systems were false.
The New York Times reports:
Two weeks after the 2020 election, a team of lawyers closely allied with Donald J. Trump held a widely watched news conference at the Republican Party’s headquarters in Washington. At the event, they laid out a bizarre conspiracy theory claiming that a voting machine company had worked with an election software firm, the financier George Soros and Venezuela to steal the presidential contest from Mr. Trump.
But there was a problem for the Trump team, according to court documents released on Monday evening.
By the time the news conference occurred on Nov. 19, Mr. Trump’s campaign had already prepared an internal memo on many of the outlandish claims about the company, Dominion Voting Systems, and the separate software company, Smartmatic. The memo had determined that those allegations were untrue.
Trump has continued to pedal lies about fraud in the 2020 election up until now, almost a year after ballots were cast.
The former president has also extended those baseless claims to more recent elections, claiming they were also tainted by widespread fraud. Trump has, of course, presented absolutely no evidence to support those outlandish allegations.
Trump Capaign New Dominion Claims Were Lies, Held Press Event Anyway
Two weeks after the 2020 election, a team of lawyers closely allied with Donald J. Trump held a widely watched news conference at the Republican Party's headquarters in Washington. At the event, they laid out a bizarre conspiracy theory claiming that a voting machine company had worked with an election software firm, the financier George Soros, and Venezuela to steal the presidential contest from Trump.
But there was a problem for the Trump team, according to court documents released on Monday evening. By the time the news conference occurred on November 19th, Trump's campaign had already prepared an internal memo on many of the outlandish claims about the company, Dominion Voting Systems, and the separate software company, Smartmatic. The memo had determined that those allegations were untrue.
Rudy Giuliani stated in a recent deposition that the Trump campaign had veto power over One America News reporter Christina Bobb's stories while she volunteered for the Trump legal team following the 2020 presidential election.
In a defamation lawsuit filed by former Dominion executive Eric Coomer against Donald Trump and several of his election-denying allies, including Giuliani and OAN, the former New York City mayor discussed the "agreement" he reached with OAN president Charles Herring to have Bobb work on the campaign's legal team.
"And my staff said she was terrific, she was very trustworthy, and if we could work out an agreement with One America News, it would be very helpful," Giuliani said in the deposition which was taken in August.
Smartmatic filed suit against Newsmax Media in Superior Court of the State of Delaware. The lawsuit charged that Newsmax "published dozens of reports indicating that Smartmatic participated in a criminal conspiracy to rig and steal the 2020 U.S. election and that its technology and software were used to switch votes from former President Trump to now President Biden."
The suit alleged that Newsmax promoted lies about the election "as a tool in its competition against Fox News." Newsmax's ratings spiked when Fox identified Joe Biden as the president-elect. Newsmax sought to appeal to Trump fans by refusing to acknowledge Biden's win for weeks—and, the lawsuit alleged, by defaming Smartmatic. "What Newsmax said about Smartmatic was fake but the damage it caused to Smartmatic is real," Wednesday's filing said.
