I keep tabs on a lot of the lawsuits filed after the 2020 election. Yesterday, I noticed a new filing in former Dominion exec Eric Coomer's defamation suit against MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell.

Coomer filed a motion for sanctions against Lindell, because Lindell has been "combative, vulgar, disrespectful, non-responsive, evasive, and consistently loud" during depositions.

They included video excerpts from the depositions with their filing.

Filing:

Docket:

And the last video - Lindell left a deposition midway through to appear on Steve Bannon's War Room.

As someone that's had their own struggles, I'd appreciate if people didn't joke about Lindell's past issues with addiction.

This is Twitter, so say what you want, but IMO addiction is serious and joking about someone relapsing is cheap and not all that clever.

Bonus: On 8/24, Lindell appeared on Steve Bannon's War Room. When Bannon asked about the deposition, Lindell said he "didn't get a very good grade" and that when Lindell asked his own lawyers "what did I get for a grade?" his lawyers replied "not good."
