DAY FIVE OF COOMER V LINDELL

8:30AM: Attorneys making motions before the court. The jury is not yet here.

Lindell Attorney: Asking the court to allow clients to testify about the basis of their beliefs.

Coomer Attorney: Says nothing has changed to expand the scope, opposes.

The Court: Pending before the court — defense witnesses allowed to testify about the basis of their opinions. Defendants argue that plaintiffs have been given latitude and expanded scope of testimony. The court disagrees. Court will give a little bit of latitude to testify about fraud that is caused or connected to Dr. Coomer. This evidence will be allowed but the court makes clear that this will not be all of the 2020 election, but only for truthfulness as it pertains to Mr. Coomer. Lindell Attorney: Max McGuire is here to testify in person, he is on both witness lists. Kurt Olson will also be in person.

Coomer Attorney: Opposes these witnesses testifying in person. Says this is gamesmanship, and plaintiffs don’t say that lightly. Claims defense never raise McGuire being in person before last night. Unfair to the plaintiffs, they claim it’s a lol delay tactic to keep Lindell off the stand today. The court is within its discretion to deny this. Cites case law.

Lindell Attorney: There is no gamesmanship, and in fact the plaintiffs sandbagged us.

The Court: Cites discretion under rule 611. Court raised this before trial, said it was unclear who was going to be in person vs may be. Cites the record, and discussed pretrial issues with Brannon Howse. The expected method of testimony at trial is in person. Reviewing prior motions to strike. Max McGuire listed as video deposition. Court will bind the parties to that designation. McGuire will not be allowed to testify in person; he will be presented by deposition. The court will bind plaintiffs to representations that Lindell doesn’t need to testify today because it was represented as June 9 or 10. Lindell will testify next week.

Back in Court today in Coomer v. Lindell. The court heard a dispute about Dennis Montgomery testimony. Defendants will file a motion later today. Jury is assembling, court in recess until they’re all here. NOTE: All posts are my personal notes summarizing. Please excuse typos and tag or DM for any corrections or clarifications. Reporting drafted during the proceedings and posted outside the courthouse on breaks (per the courts media order).

Background: Coomer is suing Lindell for Defamation about voting machines. This case has been going on since 2022. @CannConActual and I went through all the details on Friday:

House Judiciary released their report on ActBlue fraud last Weds, showing the relaxation of fraud prevention measures by Dem during the 2024 primaries & general election.

ActBlue began in 2004… in 2008, there was a scandal.

@TheAndersPaul’s thread made me think of it.

In 2008, the Obama campaign made “small donors” a key talking point:

“Obama is a man of the people!”

“Most of his funding is, like, people giving $5!”

“So popular!!”

Also, coincidence of course, small donations don’t have to be disclosed… (March 2008)

Three “get out the vote” NGOs sued us to stop us from canvassing to check the government’s work on turnout.

Gee, I wonder why NGOs would commit & suborn perjury to stop us from canvassing? 👇🏻😬

We knocked ~10K doors across 4 CO counties in 2021 — all volunteer, never raised a single penny or asked any institution for help.

From a change standpoint, this project is what I’m most proud of across my 20yr career doing that kind of work — USEIP was beautiful & IT WAS REAL.

The NAACP Legal Defense Fund claims the Trump administration is going to do away with the Voting Rights Act so it needs to be enshrined into state law.

In reality, they want to enshrine THEIR VRA INTERPRETATION into State law, because federal courts have rejected it.
🧵1/5🧵 Their "interpretation" is an expansive view of "intimidation" & doesn't require intent or injury.

They claim that if, "a reasonable person" might be intimidated, then the NAACP can sue you under the VRA & infringe upon YOUR rights.

They've been working on this a while. 2/5

This 30-hour thing is annoying, Senators.

It seems like you’re fabricating power to obstruct the unitary executive.

Obstruction disguised as checks & balances is unconstitutional.

Quick Look at the Senate’s rules.

1🧵10 The Senate can change its rules.

They make their own rules.

They govern themselves.

In other words, their power is imaginary; Wizardry they made up.

Wanna change the rules?

Send your rule change to the Rules Committee.

You need 67 votes to pass.

Unless you don’t…

🧵Pull this thread with me…🪡

The oversight & investigation authorities of Congress are NOT explicitly listed in the U.S. Constitution but rather derived from its enumerated powers & historical precedent. 1/10 These authorities stem from Congress’s responsibility to make laws, allocate funds, & check the executive branch.

Congress derives its oversight powers from several constitutional provisions. 2/10

Denver District Court, the Honorable Kandace C. Gerdes presiding in Case No. 24CV33363, LPCO & Wiles vs. Griswold & Beall.

The petitioners @James4Peace_ & @Hannah4Liberty along with counsel @GaryDFielder present. 2 attys for SecState also present.

Set to begin in ~20 minutes. Colorado Deputy Secretary of State Chris Beall has entered the court room.

A quick 🧵 of my favorite moments from the #bigboypressconference.

1/7 Biden has complete confidence in “Vice President Trump.” 2/7

“Mr. Trump now leads Mr. Biden 49% to 43% among likely voters nationally... It is the largest lead Mr. Trump has recorded in a Times/Siena poll since 2015. Mr. Trump leads by even more among registered voters, 49% to 41%.”

We have a new NYT/Siena poll! @CannConActual

🧵1/15🧵 In the age of more than 100% voter turnout, is there a meaningful difference between likely voters and registered voters?

The impact of the Colorado Supreme Court ruling are much worse for the rights of the people than they are for President Trump.

I’ve been consistent on this point since Judge Wallace’s ruling.

Hear me out…

🧵1/7🧵

Current legal record says that J6 was insurrection.

President Trump incited this “insurrection” through coded dog whistles.

For example, “peacefully & patriotically” means “overthrow the gov with sharpened flag poles & whatever weapons you can find or make onsite.”

🧵2/7🧵

🧵TRUMP 14A UPDATE🧵

By my count, there are 22 states with 14th Amendment, Section 3 challenges to President Trump’s 2024 candidacy.

1/15 Six states — Florida, Colorado, New Hampshire, Minnesota, Michigan, and now Rhode Island — have declined to prevent President Trump from being on the ballot.

But both the challenges and the rulings are all over the place.

Here are summaries…

THREAD 3

🧵3: Conclusions of Law 🧵

Could also be called, “Chiseling away at the contours of the law.”

https://twitter.com/asheinamerica/status/1725953402503676134

“The Court previously held that pursuant C.R.S. § 1-4-1204(4) the burden of proof in this matter is preponderance of the evidence. That is the
burden the Court has applied. However, the Court holds that the Petitioners have met the higher standard of clear and convincing evidence.” (Pg 60, Item 209)

🧵2: Findings & Facts 🧵

Could also be called: “Rubber Stamping the J6 Report”

https://twitter.com/asheinamerica/status/1725946835397963989

“The Court finds that Trump had courted these fringe figures for many years through activities such as endorsing far-right conspiracy theories like birtherism.” — re: Bannon and Stone, Pg 30, Item 80.

Colorado Case Ruling

This is NOT a win.

While President Trump will be able on the ballot, there are implications for everyone else who swore an oath and participated in J6. There may also be some Jack Smith implications.

🧵THREAD 1: Evidence Admissibility & Considerations 🧵 “The Court finds Mr. Heaphy’s testimony on this subject to be credible and holds that any perceived animus of the committee members towards Trump did not taint the conclusions of the January 6th Report in such a way that would render them unreliable.” (Pg, Item 26)

In his Capitol Times article, @PatrickByrne asserts that “In early February 2016, I met with the two FBI agents again. They brought a 3rd, for the following reason. They said that in 2008 a law was passed that made it possible for the Director of Central Intelligence…”

🧵1/12 “…to sign a piece of paper, under certain circumstances & take over the FBI. Dir. Brennan had done that on matters relating to Russia. So the DCI would be driving the FBI. They did not say exactly when Brennan had signed that…indicated it was some months earlier.”
